Exactly the same happened to me with not even a phone call to explain what was about to happen. Massively frustrating but I am happy to give them the leeway this tremendous company deserves. Were this a car company that had been in business for a hundred years then my response would be very different, but the passion demonstrated in this blog shows that we are all looking at our cars as something more. My view is that positive and constructive criticism to help Tesla iron out these kinks is where we should be putting our energies. And I hope that whoever is driving my original car delivered on the 9th of August (red P+ white interior) is having a ball of a time and being an ambassador for the brand.

Can't risk any more kids as the M3 wouldn't be big enough..
I assumed they could fish on the way...you forgot to take off Food for Staff
I suspected my first result of -36.7 was wrong..All we can say is it contains between 0 and 5400 Tesla Model 3s
Naval Architecture is not on my CV - thanks for input!
Agree - the fuel to cargo ratio is staggering - based on my dubious calcs the M3 would have used approx 300 Gallons of fuel to get here
You just need to know what one of these ships looks like upside down. Thankfully someone's recently done that for our education - Four trapped crewmen rescued from overturned ship off Georgia coast
Hi guys,
Massively impressed with Tesla customer service. Called delivery GB team, picked up in 3 minutes, greeted me by my name (didn’t even want email or RN, recognised from mobile number) and told me my SC VIN car is in transit. Has left US. Expect first week of October, maybe sooner. 479*** VIN.

Just spoke to the new improved Tesla call centre... My car ETA 30 September is still in the US and is being shipped directly to Southamptom. The original ETA for the Southampton run was 7 October but they are doing an end of quarter rush. He believes I should have my car on the 30th - even though I'm in Edinburgh. How is that even possible but OK? He says the boat will go at 25 knots...

Sounds like your car and mine are travelling companions - trying to work out whether it just arrived in Zeebrugge (Bomar Calais) - which left Philly on the 30th (as I was told my car left on that day) - or aboard the Hoegh Oslo, which has left the US (as of yesterday). Given the 'maybe sooner' line, I'd expect it to be in the process of being extracted from it's container now, and starting the inspection/import/transit to UK process.........
final invoice on 24 august and 26 august
EST process completing today I think, should pay Tesla this week

Pretty sure the Model 3's do not come in on containers.
I didn't show the Tesla one to avoid causing undue distress
Thats enhanced summon for you...

I'd agree - except for the timing and comms, which means the Bomar Calais is the only fit from Philly to ZEE. Lines up with the calls I've had with Tesla too. It's also at the same port location as the RORO ships in ZEE right now.......about to leave again though.....

No idea, it just seems likely for this particular run. It would make more sense to have waited for the Hoegh Oslo (arriving on the 18th to ZEE), rather than containerize some - but the call center have confirmed that my car left Philly on the 30th..........who knows! I figure if it's being unloaded today, then I should see my VIN move from SC in the next 48 hours or so.
Hey! This was my post on the FB group and email (and can you tell how excited I was to receive it... Tinder is still open in the top left, as soon as I saw the notification I clicked to read the email and screen shotted immediately for the Facebook group
) . Whilst I've been told early October, I'm hopeful that the arrival on the 18th in Zeebrugge might push them to deliver it prior to Q end, before September is out.My car is a White on White Performance ("P+" as it was when ordered) with FSD. Ordered June 5th without reservation on a fresh account (have a MS 75D but on another account).
Looks like bribing with cake works, but I think a gentle friendly approach in emails is key. They're only human, and they'll reply personally to emails that aren't biting their heads off - Other less than nice emails might get blank template replies.
Now following the Hough Oslo on ship tracking apps

I was told that they were going to Philadelphia to Southampton / Portsmouth (I doubt the latter) now.

Forgot to note... VIN range is 502XXX
I’m in Edinburgh for a few days break and happened to walk past the Tesla showroom. So I nipped in and asked if they could find out when my M3 would be delivered. The bloke said he couldn’t be sure, but “strongly advised” me not to go away in the first week of October. Suppose that’s better than nothing.
