I’m also leasing, and the leasing company said beginning of October. I called Tesla directly the other day, and a very helpful bloke told me I’d been allocated a car and my collection would be some time w/c 23rd September. Only a couple of minutes after I’d put the phone down he called back and said he’d bumped me up the queue and my collection was scheduled for 19th September. It might be worth giving them a call - you just never know.

The marine traffic website is new to me but I think I have a rough idea of what to look for now.
I see the vessel CLEMENTINE was mentioned back in August on another thread. This has arrived back in Zeebrugge about half an hour ago, having set off from Purfleet:
Vessel details for: CLEMENTINE (Ro-Ro Cargo) - IMO 9125384, MMSI 205451000, Call Sign ONDK Registered in Belgium | AIS Marine Traffic
So presumably Purfleet is the place / one of the places that vehicles destined for the south arrive, and Grimsby is where vehicles destined for the north arrive?
There's a couple of container ships coming from PHL (Nordpacific and Seatrade White) to ZEE, and one vehicle carrier (Hoegh Oslo).

Also just spotted this Ro-Ro on its way to Purfleet from Zeebrugge, estimated to arrive at 11:00AM BST today:
Vessel details for: CELANDINE (Ro-Ro Cargo) - IMO 9183984, MMSI 249436000, Call Sign 9HA4244 Registered in Malta | AIS Marine Traffic
It set off at a similar time to the previous one arriving so guessing they're taking it in turns (could be wrong though!)

Better range then any of the morons from the daily mail comments sections to think
I’m getting a powerwall, the blackouts are coming...
Hey that’s a positive post thanks
That’s good news, will definitely be worth a ring then, hope I get a helpful agent that has had a good weekend and feeling helpful. 
I guess there is no way to tell for certain if a ship is carrying Tesla vehicles or not, beyond it being a vehicle carrier? So, apologies if some/most of this is irrelevant:
Further to my posts last night, I did a bit more searching and found the following appearing to be shuttling back and forth between Zeebrugge and Purfleet:
CELANDINE, MELUSINE, VALENTINE, CLEMENTINE
These each arrived around the same time the previous departed, and have returned back to Zeebrugge since (with the first having returned back to Purfleet this morning.) So possibly unloading vehicles solidly from 6:00AM on 13th to 4:00PM on 14th. Then there's an 18 hour period with all these ships heading back to (or remaining at) Zeebrugge until CELANDINE arrived back at Purfleet.
DELPHINE looks like it might be shuttling to/from Killingholme
NORSTREAM and NORSKY to/from Tilbury
BORE SONG and ESTRADEN to/from Tees
AUTOPREMIER and SEA CRUISER 1 to/from Grimsby
YSALINE to/from Dublin
Of course, there's probably other vehicles being shipped across as well. Just wondering whether these were shipping the cars from the Glovis Sunlight (which departed from Zeebrugge a couple of hours ago but had been there since a few hours before Celandine's previous departure.)

2.8 million vehicles a year go through Zeebrugge, not all to the UK. 44% of everything going through Zeebrugge in total is to/from the UK so not unexpected that there will be a lot of stuff moving between the two

I was told they don’t do delivery/collection at the Bristol service centre so I was limited to Birmingham or Heathrow when I ordered. I picked Birmingham. Have you heard differently? I’d love it to be Bristol as that service centre is only 15 minutes away for me.
I hear you! Exact same boat (or lack of boat......), VIN, final invoice, payment sent and then the vehicle goes to someone closer to the south. Back to the end of the queue with you!

Please don’t do this quite yet, if we had to wait until an entire ship could be filled it would probably take longer, 2000 vehicles delivered in August I believe. Not quite a full ship from the US?
I asked Bristol directly - they don't do deliveries. So B'ham for me...
