have you seen the speed they do it I think a deck must be done in an hour or 2 there are some good videos with lots of squealing tiersI wonder how long it takes to load one of these ships with a few thousand cars? days?
how do you know the dates and locations?Thanks for the headsup @geneclean55 . I really aren't experienced enough to know whether this is possible or not, although it seems there have been no vehicle carriers out of Philadelphia so i am expecting shipping via container ship (like they've done for all the Aus markets). The dates tie in as I know my vehicle reached Philly on the 24th and was there on the 25th but for all I know it could still be sat there. On the down side, I've still not had anything formal from tesla whatsoever other than a heads up from the store that it was expected soon.

You might have missed the boat on that one (have you watched the news in the last 24 hours?). If you are right though and it's an SR+ any reduction would take it under the luxury car tax as well so would be a double saving.I'm kinda hoping that a Brexit VAT change will save me some dosh. Roll on 31 October!

All I know is that the VIN that is in my source code was tagged at Philadelphia docks at that time, I was told in store. I don't know anything since that and don't really want to hassle the staff any more about it so haven't gone back to ask for anything further. BUt I am confident that the information is accurate and we also have seen the reports on social media suggesting there's been a lot of RHD vehicles sent through Philly too.
I wasn't commenting pros and cons of Brexit. Just saying 31st of October is not set in stone and looking less so today than it was a couple of days ago. If you don't want to get into a debate on Brexit I find the best way is not to state your opinion on BrexitYes agreed it would be double savings, however I very much doubt it will happen as this country really isn't a democracy at all! The nation voted to come out of the EU and as such that should happen if you agree with it or not. I won't get into a debate on it but it does my head in, hearing nothing but Brexit everywhere!

As expected, the Lydden is not heading our way - it's off to China.
Its also possible that they are combining LHD+RHD loads together on one container ship.I wonder how/if/when we can add Philadelphia to UK as a route on the sheet. If Tesla want to boost their quarter, I would imagine that they need to get cars here by 14th for distribution and delivery before end of September. That would mean getting a ship load on the way here ASAP from Philaport.
Pier 122 is the Hyundai Glovis Pier, and would seem logically the right place to load if they have a big contract with them - but no sign of a RO/RO in the last week - so have to assume container shipping. In which case there's a departure per day, that then stops at NY typically before heading here.
Its also possible that they are combining LHD+RHD loads together on one container ship.
For example, the container ship, seatrade orange, was moored at a vehicle terminal (not the glovis one) at philly. Just made its way to Zeebrugge. Where it is currently moored at a spot where cars are known to be disembarked from containers. Next stop is Thames gateway port. London.
