More Uk-bound Ships?

[Epico]

Hoegh Oslo has docked in Zeebrugge...

Glovis courage is currently off the south of Ireland...

Sorry for talking about ships on this thread...

Early arrival for the Hoegh Oslo, around 0300 UTC, nearly exactly 9 days which is a very short crossing, hopefully gives an idea about speed to deliver on future orders coming from Philadelphia

Given that there were a couple of days before e-mails started going out regarding deliveries of what was on the previous ship, I reckon e-mails/texts will probably start going out on Friday regarding collections of vehicles coming in on the Hoegh Oslo - and they'll probably be short-notice appointments for next week (possibly brought forward from early October?)

Then there'll be further e-mails/texts over the weekend for Glovis Courage.

That's my prediction anyway.

My car was on the Oslo according to the info I was given last week, and I got my email pretty much as soon as it was within AIS range of Europe.

My car was on the Oslo now taken off me!!!!
P+ Blue with white, reservation May 2017, Ordered 3rd May, have advised I will collect anywhere in UK

Possible good news for tow hitch orderers!
I got through to UK Delivery on the phone this afternoon and was told that Tesla massively under-estimated the demand for tow bar M3s, when they made it available.
However, I have apparently been allocated a car(!!!), which should be one of the first to be delivered to the UK in first week of Oct. In case you are competitive, I did make my reservation 1160 days ago (3 years & 2 months) and placed the order on 2 May 2019.
Since I haven't yet been given a VIN, I hope that a) they are true to their word and b) that there will be many other tow hitch M3s flooding into the UK at the same time.

Allocations are a bit of a lottery. Mine is LR AWD white/black with tow hitch. Ordered 17 July (no early reservation), scheduled delivery 3rd Oct, now been brought forward to 29th Sep with delivery appointment. Told it's on the last ship in for Sept delivery (my guess is Glovis Courage?). Moved from Heathrow delivery to Birmingham to fit in Q3, I think, simply because that's where there was a space on a transporter.

I shouldn’t of called Edinburgh! Keen to know if any progress as have to arrange flights ferry etc from N Ireland and family looking a one week holiday and didn’t want to schedule it over a predicted ETA for the car . Now told I have no VIN number even tho I had one a couple of weeks ago when I got Final Invoice 2. Told don’t assume 9th Oct will be your date etc ! The only other time I spoke to Edin two weeks ago was told week of Oct 9th would be worst case arrival time.... arghh ! Which one of you Southerners nicked my VIN lol !

I think they are just readdressing the balance from earlier when Tesla seemed to be prioritising Scottish grant customers

Glovis Courage now back underway after stopping at Brixham to take a new pilot onboard. ETA still around 1000 UTC tomorrow

I reckon that if we do not get a car by the end of the month it will be November for most of us due to Tesla mostly producing cars for the home market as it gets near the end of the quarter

Here’s a link to an article showing Model 3s leaving the Hoegh Oslo at Zeebrugge today.

Tesla Model 3 deliveries: 50 trucks left from Zeebrugge, first ship with RHDs from Philly reaches Europe

Come to daddy

 

[nightowl]

Hoegh Oslo's next destination appears to be Southampton (due at 22:00 tomorrow).

That is an interesting development, reports from Zeebrugge were that no RHD cars were offloaded, but it's unverified. However, it would make sense to drop RHD off directly into the UK if Zeebrugge is at capacity and Glovis Courage is due in a couple of hours.

Also minimises risk for Brexit as cars are delivered directly to the UK

 

[Avendit]

are all cars from these ships allocated or is there still shuffling of VINs going on?

well I have nothing so probably already. I wish there was a way to check. I guess forum's only represent 1%of the actual people receiving.

It doesn't look like there are anymore ships coming for a while. Probably means that those of us who are still waiting after the Glovis courage has unloaded will have to wait until at least November for our new toys.

Boo hoo

Hoegh Oslo arrives at Southampton at 9pm this evening. A one know a webcam that looks at the dock?
