Ship 1 - Debussy arrived in Sydney at 4.15am Wednesday

I see Debussy departs for Melbourne at 2.00pm today (Thursday).
Wonder where they unload the Perth bound cars?

I do see when the cars are unloaded. They were all unloaded by mid morning today. All cars are unloaded, including Perth cars, in Sydney. Processed at Autonexus and then back on a ship to Fremantle. Expect close to a month.

Thanks Veda. Sydney to Fremantle by ship - sounds tidier than by truck.

Ship 4 Kota Ekspres arrived in Sydney last night - over 100 onboard.

Ship 5 Brotonne Bridge is going to unload in Melbourne and transfer cargo to next ship due to industrial action in Sydney. Arriving Sydney now Sep 28.

Last cars of Q3 production arrived in Sydney on MSC Sindy - 89 of them. These cars were built in August. A long journey.

Q4 cars have started leaving the US.

2021 model vins have started being built.

I’m checking for hidden VIN every day from my 16th October order

The ships are complex this quarter

When do you usually find out how many vehicles are on each ship?

 

[Vedaprime]

I generally know 2 weeks after US departure. Cap Capricorn has over 50, Kota has over 150

 

[Shane Appleton]

Any idea how many Cap Capricorn left in Auckland, if any? Saw it departing today right on schedule.

None were on the ship for unload in Auckland. All are Sydney bound - 56 to be precise. The ship will stop in Melbourne first. I am providing regular Twitter updates on progress too @Vedaprime. This quarter is getting very complex in the next month with the ships. The ship schedules are changing constantly. Here on TMC I will give the major updates.

Thanks for the reply! Hopefully we get some Auckland bound soon! Looks like Kota Ekspres is the next opportunity arriving 13/11, will keep an eye out!

I do know Kota has none for Auckland onboard either.

Brotonne Bridge however does, but it is skipping Auckland. The cars will move ships in Melbourne and go back to Auckland. No details about that ship transfer yet.

Take a look at MarineTraffic.com for updates on Brotonne location when it is near land.

Awesome, will do. Thank you!

Edit: Looks like from POAL arrivals transfer ship could be Hansa Freyburg or Hansa Offenburg if it's a quick turnaround on arrival, or ANL Emora a week later. Assume they wouldn't want to store them at Melbourne Port for that long though.

I will know for sure once it is closer as I have the manifests for Brotonne.

If you google Vedaprime you can find out more about me.

The Cap Capricorn is due in Melb today
Is it likely some VINs might start getting assigned soon?

Vin assignment has started across multiple ships, and will continue for the next month.

Cap Capricorn will not unload Tesla in Melbourne. The cars remain onboard until Sydney due next Monday.

Tesla has changed their website. The Hidden vin finder now works on this page.
www.tesla.com/en_AU/teslaaccount/product-finalize?rn=RN<your rn number>

You can search for it manually in the source code of this page "5YJ3" - Model 3 "5YJS" - Model S "5YJX" - Model X.

If there is no vin the section will say
"vin": null

If there is a vin it will say
"vin": "5YJ3xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
where x is the remainder of the vin

Vins will be allocated gradually over the next month.
This will be the first time you see movement of your order on your account.
Vins will also appear on your invoice once this is sent closer to delivery.

The first Tesla of Q4 have arrived in Sydney on Cap Capricorn. Over 50 known vin onboard.

Hi,
I've had a Model S on order for 2 months now. Any idea when that might be coming in to Melbourne?

My Tesla rep is "quietly hoping" for an end of year delivery. So would that make it like to be in ANL Warrnambool arriving in Country on Dec 2?
