Pier 80 is the loading pier in San Francisco - the other end of things (check it out in Google Maps satellite view - is that a bunch of M3’s on the waterside?! Saw it on Marine Traffic last night).
What Mr M was talking about is the next ship there to go alongside and load up after GMT Astro - HTHs
Mr M: fan of your work BTW - thanks for keeping us all informed!

I'm starting to worry about you Mr Miserable. As a child I used to see train spotters on the platform when I caught the train to school. I fear you may be wearing a large anorak, clutching a flask at the entry to the Panama Canal...... or is it the exit? I'm sure you'll actually know this! ;-)The problem with the Glovis Sirius is that it is a big wide boat - it is too wide to transit by the old canal gates it must use the new and very expensive canal gates.

Southampton bound, I seriously hope this is full of 3's that have been stuck at Zee.
Any congestion of Teslas at Zeebrugge is only going to get very quickly worse over the next week or so.
The Glovis Cosmos is due to arrive on Sunday 24th and will need to be quickly unloaded and sent on its way to Amsterdam before the Grand Neptune pitches up on Tuesday 26th and disgorges its load on to the pier.
My concern is, the cars that are already delayed, will get more delayed as more boats arrive. Instead of dealing with the backlog, they'll deal with the new cars.
Nothing for me yet! (ordered Oct 11). Here's hoping! Someone need to code a push notification for when your VIN arrives... my T E S L & A keys are looking pretty faded on my laptop!!Any VINs out from the Sirius yet ?
Me either, ordered 29th August. White SR+ with white interior, was told VIN allocation is an automated process that occurs 6-10 weeks after order so was expected beginning of NovemberNothing for me yet! (ordered Oct 11).

Ah man! I really hope yours drops in today Corbo! surely you've got to have a delivery some time in 2019! I presume you've spoken to Tesla, but I can't imagine it gets you anywhere!Me either, ordered 29th August.

You would think! Haha, It’s leased, so have to through lease company but they have chased multiple times. Been told expect 3 months from order to deliveryAh man!

I personally think they are prioritising performance and LR models with a slight drip through of SRI understand the whole, 'we don't build M3 cars to order' mantra from Tesla. I presume their model is that it is more efficient from a production viewpoint to make cars in batches with the same spec, then match these to existing orders. Obvious drawback with this production model (for unlucky customers) arises when the number of cars made with a given specification does not correlate well with the numbers being ordered with each combination of colour, interior SR/LR/P etc. Does anyone know if Tesla actually try to balance production batches with pending orders? Or is it more random and this accounts for some of the disparities we are seeing between order dates and delivery times in the UK?
