More Uk-bound Ships?

[NastyNick83]

My understanding is my car is currently in Zeebrugge. Having spoken to Tesla this morning (very friendly if not a little vague) thinks the car will be over in the UK any day now - but has absolutely no visibility or assurance of this.

Does anyone have any view on how long it takes to move from Zeebrugge to UK (presumably Southampton). The last update Tesla operative had was 1st December. He even suggested it may already be on a ship over. I'll believe it when I see it though...

 

[Mr Miserable]

Cars from Zeebrugge used to go to Sheerness and Grimsby and I see no reason for that to change.
Southampton was port of entry when one of the Brexit dates was looming.
So I expect Southampton to feature again at the end of January.

My VIN matched car is apparently on the Dong a Glaucos which is currently mid-Atlantic. My Tesla account has been updated.

So the Dong arrives in Zeebrugge on the 9th and I would expect your car to be shipped via Grimsby to Edinburgh.

Could you let me know how you can find a ship using a VIN?
I have a VIN with the estimated delivery date on 30th December according to the final invoice.

Makes sense. Logistically I’d expect Sheerness to make most sense (especially with a Birmingham end destination). Are Zeebrugge to these ports frequent? Any tracking on them?

my finance company person appears to be on the ball. They sent an email to me last week stating I had been VIN matched and the car was inbound onboard the Dong a Glaucos.

I think Southampton may still very much be in use. Bumped into a Tesla engineer chap at Fleet on his way back north from Southampton. Got the impression he had been working there on deliveries.

 

[Mr Miserable]

The Dong is now passing the Azores with a revised ETA at Zeebrugge of 11 Dec ie 2 days later than originally planned.

Would you be so kind as to enlightening me when the VIN numbers are assigned / matched to orders ? Is it whilst the vehicles are in transit ?

On Monday I drove past a car transporter going north on the M3 at Southampton, which I’m guessing had come from Southampton.

Nice. My car is supposed to be on Sirius which is in Zeebrugge, I'm supposed to be collecting from Edinburgh also but no sign of a delivery date in my account...Although I am leasing so account details might be different in that I don't think I get a final invoice

I was told via phone by tesla my car is in Zeebrugge but not to expect delivery till mid Jan M3P also collecting Edinburgh. Mine also a lease so nothing showing in tesla account.

Does somebody know how the car are shipped to Amsterdam? Is the boat stopping in Zeebrugge and then Amsterdam or is it another one taking over? I was hopping my car was on the Sirius but I can see it heading to Hambourg

 

[Mr Miserable]

The pier at Koopmans in Amsterdam is currently full of Model 3s but rumour has it that the RCC Europe which is currently waiting for its slot to transit the Panama Canal tomorrow will be routing direct to Amsterdam. We should find out whether that is true or not tomorrow.

Davey,

I was told by my lease company that they had been told by Tesla that I would have a pickup date before the 22nd Dec, so I called Tesla straight after being told this to see if I could get an exact date.
This was around 10 days ago, and was told the same thing as you, mid Jan for my delivery.
Then 2 days later a pick up date of the 19th Dec appears in my Tesla account.
If I was you I'd speak to your lease company and see what they say.

Yup 11 at the moment. Beyond excited. But haven’t told anyone yet as I’m still a bit sceptical it will actually happen.
Hopefully I’ll see you there.

The Dong A Glaucos is getting closer...
