That's great - thanks for the info, and given the close VIN, and the spec that sounds good to me. Have you had your final invoice? I have not yet.....also much kudos for getting in touch with someone at Tesla

Ha, thanks
No, I've not had anything at all. No text, invoice, nothing.

A little more information on this @Stretchquaker - lookng at the port replay for the last seven days (yes I know it's sad) - this unidentified ship left port on the 27th...from Pier 122. So far had no success identifying it (the playback doesn't allow clicking on ships). But ties in nicely with this. Pier 122 is where the horizontal ship is sited.
Of course, they could still be sat on the dock in the rain, waiting for another ship. I'm sure it's not just Tesla's on the quayside.....
Having said that where is Glovis Superior off to I wonder? GLOVIS SUPERIOR - Vehicles Carrier (IMO: 9674189, MMSI: 538005345) | MyShipTracking
I can't see any obvious contenders for the Philadelphia - Zeebrugge run in the near future. Given that Hurricane Dorian will be sweeping up the East coast I can't imagine any loading taking place in the next week either. The earliest I would expect any arrrival at Zeebrugge would be around 20 Sep and so assuming a 9 day transit I would expect to see loading begin around 9 Sep.
I believe that all the Philadelphia M3s so far are RHD and are sailing directly to the UK.
RORO ship NOCC Oceanic is scheduled to arrive at Philly Port , morning of the ninth. Tesla used this ship last q from SFO. Great candidate imo.
I really don't know. I was hoping that mine was on the way over already as I know it's been there since the 25th August but I really have no idea.
Possible that they are sending more than one ship from Philly. Almost certain that it will be a hyundai-glovis ship. Dont see any currently with destination of Zeebrugge/UK
Yes, it's hard to guess really but you may be correct. Hard to know how many are coming this way too. You don't think they'll be using container ships in smaller numbers? Have they ever done that?
If it pans out, will be very interested to see if they ship direct to UK. Could be a tight fit at Zeebrugge between Glovis Courage and Lydden boat arrivals.
Jury is still out on the Lydden. Earliest it could arrive in Zeebrugge would be around 28 Sep, which is a bit too late to make much impact on the quarterly figures. Additionally, there is the big push to ship the Model 3s from the east cost for precisely this reason. So I am not convinced that it is EU bound.
Well at the risk of taking what people have told me too specifically, I was told by a Tesla employee today that he understood that they were coming straight to the UK from Philly without going to mainland Europe. I also know that my vehicle was in Philly from the 25th.
I had already been told that my vehicle should be available to collect either next week or the week after.
So if that were to stack up then it’d have to be on the way already, which is what got me thinking of smaller numbers on container ship.
Obviously, part of the fun has been trying to stitch contradictory information together so goodness only knows really.
However, I have a hunch that there’s some on the way already.
seatrade orange is a container ship. Left Philly on August 26th. Arrival Zeebrugge on the 4th.
Bomar Calais left Philly on the 31st. Arrival Zeebrugge on the 10th.
