[MaDProFF]

my VIN 523XXX

The original version is here: Tesla Model3 RHD VIN ranges

Thanks. I'm in the recent VIN (502xxx) unknown category. Unknown is a nice summary of my Tesla purchase experience so far. No-one appears to know a damn thing, including Tesla

FWIW @leewillis77 my VIN 4639xx was last seen in Philadelphia, so presumably a bunch of vehicles from the 20th July registration batch are coming across that way too.

SFL Conductor looks like it is docking in Falmouth tomorrow lunchtime...

SFL CONDUCTOR Current Position (Vehicles Carrier, MMSI: 372097000, IMO: 9293909) - MyShipTracking

Maybe another load of M3s onboard?

May be able to watch it here..... Falmouth Harbour Webcam - Falmouth

How did you manage to get this information?

 

[MaDProFF]

Do we think the Seatrade Orange is picking up Tesla's to bring to UK, it is just docking in BEZEE?

I was told in store.

I wouldn't pay attention to Vin ranges spreadsheet. My VIN is 440xxx

3 Jul 2019 435890 441233 29% 1500 VINs appearing in accounts.
Some expected on Triumph Ace for delivery 7th-25th Aug.
Some expected on Glovis Champion for delivery 26th Aug-8th Sep Model 3 VINs on Twitter

When I called they told me last week of september, first week of october and been told its in transit.

Unless it's collecting dust somewhere, it hasn't come on those ships.

I was surprised about Falmouth as I was unaware Tesla had any facility there. Zeebrugge has full facilities including charging. Does Falmouth or is it just coincidence?

That's pretty much exactly the same boat (pun intended) as me

Looks like it's just sat at anchor: Vessel details for: SFL CONDUCTOR (Vehicles Carrier) - IMO 9293909, MMSI 372097000, Call Sign 3EIC6 Registered in Panama | AIS Marine Traffic

I know nothing about ships or shipping, just what I'm learning to find my car.....so this could be normal. Not sure if Falmouth can support RORO activity.

 

[Tony Hoyle]

SFL conductor already unloaded and left.. it'll not be doing anything with Tesla any more, probably shipping BMWs from Germany.

Glovis Cosmos is due in next.

There's a dive vessel buzzing round it, so wonder if it's stopped in Falmouth to get something checked out underwater. Doubt it has Teslas onboard - if so why did it go to Germany first? Falmouth would be an odd choice, even if they could find a spare berth they don't really seem to have anywhere nearby to store the vehicles... and onward transport to the rest of the UK would be a nightmare from there!

Makes sense - all I could find about Falmouth and RO/RO was that they repair them their regularly......

Worth me calling again then considering back in July they said it's more likley Septemberor October? Shall I see if they are holding to that quote?

 

[Yev000]

Worth me calling again

To be honest, short of getting MI6 to hack Tesla servers I don't think you will get any meaningful information. A lot of it is a case of 'it will get here when it gets here', and trying not to lose your marbles in the mean time.

So if a phone call helps, go for it.

 

[MaDProFF]

I wonder how long it takes to load one of these ships with a few thousand cars? days?

 

[geneclean55]

Thanks! I'll keep an eye on where they go next or otherwise suggest your earlier suggestion of Oceanic must be the one.

must be a significant amount to discharge to consider a port call at Thames. Port dues would not be insignificant
