Looks like some VINs were issued for Singapore, which is interesting as the ship must be docking there and it is a RHD market. So UK next?
Or perhaps they’re all going to Ireland via Zebrugge?!

Anyone else has their delivery location randomly change on them? I had previously selected blue water but now it’s from Staines 
I am Team blue too! lets cross our fingers!Looks like some VINs were issued for Singapore, which is interesting as the ship must be docking there and it is a RHD market. So UK next?

I doubt it would be from Glovis Challenger, probably a smaller RoRo servicing the neighbouring region. Wouldn't make sense to have empty spaces on a ship travelling all the way to Europe just to drop off cars on the way in Singapore.Looks like some VINs were issued for Singapore, which is interesting as the ship must be docking there and it is a RHD market.

Just saw this. Shorter lead times in China. Quite frankly i have gone full Zammo on the Hopium so praying this means shorter lead times everywhere soon!

Electric auto giant Tesla said on Thursday it has slashed the delivery waiting time for its Model 3 and Model Y cars in China as it ramps up output at its Shanghai plant after upgrading production lines.

If anybody collecting from Southampton has received a text from Tesla telling them the collection will take place at the Horizon Cruise terminal you can take it from me that it is incorrect! The collection portacabin (like a cruise terminal but a tad smaller) is along W Bay Road as shown here:
The whole dock area is awash with MY and M3. I had the 1st collection of Q3!
There is a very busy line set up where the cars are washed down and any transport protections are removed.
They are then loaded on to transporters or taken to the Southampton delivery Centre.
Lots of transporters collecting.
A quick check at the shipping labels on the cars confirmed MORNING CHORUS and GLOVIS SUMMIT as the ships.

Fingers crossed, they now need bigger boats!Just saw this. Shorter lead times in China. Quite frankly i have gone full Zammo on the Hopium so praying this means shorter lead times everywhere soon!

Perhaps a fair point. I just did some quick research which may be flawed!
In June there were 125 Tesla new car registrations in Singapore.
It’s ~2500 miles from Shanghai to Singapore by sea (20% of the journey to the UK).
I could see it being feasible they just drop off 3% of the cars and avoid additional costs, for a ship that has to pass through anyway.
But I’m clearly no expert and have no idea what I’m talking about

I have a date and time for pickup (15th Sept). I have some new documents but can't see the VIN. which document was it in?
It does make a lot of sense. Having a car in Singapore is the ultimate luxury. Permit and registration fees alone are worth almost the price of the car itself. And not including the very expensive taxes as well.Perhaps a fair point. I just did some quick research which may be flawed!

3% empty space on a RoRo is probably less than the cost of a full charter, even for the short SGH-SIN journey....
