More Uk-bound Ships?

[Avendit]

My Call #2 just got dropped on me after exactly 1 hour.

So that’s 3 hours so far today on hold and then dropped. First time with no message. Second time with a message saying “we will contact you closer to delivery to make sure everything is in place”. So a more polite drop.

I’m wondering if I select the “Cancel order” option rather than “Delivery” option when I start a call, will it have a better change of getting answered

Well worth a try! Retention person may be more useful...watch they don't auto associate with your phone number and auto cancel as soon as you press the button....

With regards to ships the delivery guys believed the Dartford cars were coming in through Tilbury.

That would be a really annoying moment for Tesla to suddenly become efficient.. "Thank you for your cancellation request. <click>"

If you got lucky you car may already be here - they don’t build to order, they just allocate orders to cars that they have that match your spec - often referred to as vin matching. If you ordered a car which they have excess of, you could be matched early, if they don’t have enough of what you have ordered, then welcome to the club.

Like you I have a tow bar on order so don't hold much hope of an early delivery

OK Back to ships...

I see the Autopremier is leaving Zeebrugge enroute to Sheerness.
I'm not saying there are Teslas onboard however this ship was used to deliver Model 3s from the Triumph Ace to Grimsby earlier this month.

Wonder if Tesla realise that rosyth has pretty significant roro facilities...

Is this another ship on its way to load up in San Francisco?GLOVIS SUNLIGHT - Cargo (IMO: 9798416, MMSI: 538007440) | MyShipTracking

 

[dakang]

Mine is like yours, with a white interior. Is yours white or black inside?

I ordered 8th May and I collect it 23 August.

Hopefully you’ll hear very soon.

Amazing you get yours first, I reserved in April 2016 and ordered 1st May! Same config.

I certainly hope so

No idea, sorry. It's a truck link to zebrugger and for a few years a car ferry ran. Pretty plesant way to get to the continent from Scotland but obviously not enough people agreed with me.

Yes, it is. And it will then go through the Panama canal so is EU bound.

Edit: And it's the biggest one yet!

Yay, I'm hoping my white/black Performance will be on one of the ships soon

Me first! I've got exactly the same order at the same delivery centre!

It would certainly appear at the moment that the Glovis Sunlight is EU bound however the timings aren't clear yet. It is due to arrive off San Francisco on the 19th Aug but it is not due at Pier 80 until the next day. Allowing 3 days to load, it would be a stretch to make the 30/8 canal transit it has been pencilled in for.

I think it’s a shame that the cargo ships can’t use all the car batteries in some kind of hybrid configuration.

Tesla's latest innovation: bring loading down to a single day utilising catapult loading.

 

[MrBadger]

I thought that hyperloop was his long term plan for car delivery?

Actually, there are a few hybrid ships already - MV Hallaig Caledonian Skye and Raasay Ferry and Victoria of Wight, Portsmouth and Isle Of Wight are two notable ones in UK. But alas, their own dedicated batteries.

 

[Mr Miserable]

Glovis Sunlight now pencilled in for Panama Canal transit on 1 Sep which would make a Zeebrugge arrival of around 12 Sep.

 

[MrBadger]

So which one is meant to be the one with tow bars on it then?

 

[Mervyn]

Could someone give me an idea where to put information in your Tesla account regarding delivery profile. I have fiddled about but haven’t got a clue. Trying to put insurance and driving license details. Thanks.
