Might get it in September then. I was hoping it's on or near the vehicle carrier.
I'm assuming it's getting on Triumph Ace. That will take 3 weeks to get to Zeebrugge + a couple of days to unload and transport to the UK. So, the earliest you'd likely see anything would be delivery text in about 3 weeks for collection in 4 weeks. However, if there's a lot of cars it may take a couple of weeks to work through, so even if you're on that ship your delivery could be 6 weeks away (my estimate - others may vary!)

Although anyone who has changed spec will have got a new new invoice number (even if not a different place in the queue), so makes it hard to guess both number of actual order and where in the queue you might be ...
Hmmm ... what do we reckon, handover of 150 cars a day, 6 days a week? 2 weeks = 1,800 cars only ...
Heathrow peaked at 100 a day (including Model-S and X) at end of June. They had drafted in staff from other showrooms, so my guess of 150 Model-3 a day is for all sites once they've got their staff back again!
Not necessarily. I changed spec with no impact on invoice number.
Sounds about right. I was reckoning on 10-15 per delivery centre if you want to do it day-after-day-after-day.
With time to prep, a delivery centre might be able to do a large one-off delivery chunk, but not every day sustained.
Do you know how many locations they are using?
If Heathrow is 100/day and others say 50/day you could probably add 4 more locations (other than Heathrow) to get a total of 300/day and all the cars on the board handed over in the 2 weeks.
Knowing my luck they will want to hand over mine when I'm on holiday (in UK but 4 hour drive). I'm already considering driving back to get it...
Not that many at present. Living in Buckingham I only had a choice of Heathrow or Birmingham even though MK is much closer.

Heathrow was 100 a day
... but they had Tesla Owners there helping, and of all the staff I talked not one was Heathrow based, all had been pinched from other sites ...150 a day is 20-ish car transporters ... I suppose that is not a bottleneck and doable, day after day, to get them off the dockside before the next lot want to unload

I imagine that Marine Traffic could be somewhat bemused by the numbers of people that are following this ship...
Triumph Ace has now departed Pier 80.
Apparently....
Not that I'm stalking it....
There are webcams in San Francisco that the ship will have to pass...

And were any of us so sad as to look at those webcams..... what web address would we hypothetically be able to find them on?
Asking for as friend, obvs...
