More Uk-bound Ships?

[BriamM3]

Also remember most ships will have a mixture of RHD and LHD cars, so they’re not all ours!

Well better for you in that its now confirmed that there will be no RHD cars for Ireland in Q3, so more for UK. Irish order holders all got their first "communication" from Tesla in the last hour - a text to say deliveries will start at the "end" of 2019

How did they get six carloads in Stockport? It's tiny..

There’s actually quite a lot of space around the back, where the service bays are. I think it was a case of cars coming in and cars going out throughout the day. It must be a logistical nightmare!

I see the Autopremier is moored close to the SFL Conductor at Zeebrugge. Hopefully it will be bringing M3s to the UK. Last time it brought cars from the Champion to Grimsby.

Autopremier is just leaving Zeebrugge, on its way to Grimsby. That must be too fast to have cars from the SFL Conductor on it?

I'm telling you, catapults! Explains the small dings and paint problems too...

Nah, I think he made a boring company tunnel that comes out under the service center and is launching the cars through it at 200 mph.

I can’t see it carrying anything but M3s, and the Conductor has been moored for over 24 hours so here’s hoping.

I wish there was some kind of webcam we can have a look at to see whats happening on the dock.

I would agree. If I was a betting man I'd say it will likely have cars from the previous delivery, that have all been through the PDI process.

Is anyone aware of any Model 3s with tow hitch being delivered in UK yet? I registered for an M3 in July 2016 and confirmed my order for an LR AWD on 2 May 2019. I believe the tow hitch is why I have not received a VIN nor delivery notification yet. Fingers crossed it is on 1 of the Glovis' arriving in September.

I believe someone on here has confirmed a delivery date for an SR+ with tow hitch.

 

[welshdragon]

I ordered a white SR+ with Tow bar in the 3rd week of July. A VIN has shown up in source code in the last week. I have everything crossed that my car was on the SFL Conductor.

 

[Avendit]

There is a tow hitch thread that's worth subbing into. Only sr+ hitches so far I think.

@Terry Daktil - you get my vote for best user name!

LR-AWD seem to be the winged unicorns - as per

a few SR+ are emerging with Tow Bars with VINs & delivery dates as per @welshdragon

LR-AWD, Tow Bar with 19" wheels would be the ultimate Winged Rainbow Unicorn

There isn't a day that goes by when I don't get a bit irritated about the Tow Bar - I had a panic over the weekend and was going to modify the spec to ditch the hitch, the good folk here calmed me down, patience...

Don't forget the white interior

Sadly the tow hitch is a must otherwise I’d have to ditch my boat or keep an ICE for boating.

How heavy is the boat/trailer/equipment?

920 (?) Kg load, 90kg nose weight and max occupant, cargo & nose of around 400kg does not make the Model 3 a big load carrier.

Most boats will be under 900 kg - they have to float remember! sarcasm aside, 900kg is a _lot_ of boat. even including trailers etc. Mine tows at about 200kg (mostly trailer tbh) and that is a 4.5m dingy. Much bigger and I wouldn't be comfortable towing it for the length!

If it’s too heavy get a RIB and fill with helium

Do you need to reverse the trailer into water???
