Just recapitulating our collective knowledge with respect to the Cap Capricorn (I could have replaced the words "our collective" with the single word "Vedaprime's", but I did not want to hurt anyone's feelings).
Are we still thinking that it is more likely than not that the first batch of Model 3s will arrive on the Cap Capricorn?
Despite some comments suggesting that some Model 3s have been spotted here and there, I still think these might mostly be the press cars?
I did NOT get the impression that the Seoul Express delivered a significant number of cars - right?
Following a trip to the Blue Mountains yesterday, I am feeling a bit sick - though it could also be that my immune system is struggling to cope with the never ending excitement (sleepless nights, rapid pulse spike on reading some new snippet of news, etc) in relation to our imminent deliveries - so I am not sure whether or not I will be able to go out to Port Botany to witness the Cap Capricorn's arrival.
I would feel a bit silly if I went out there in the cold only to find out afterwards that the Model 3s had arrived on another ship - not that at my age I am too bothered about feeling a bit silly every now and then...
Anyway, what probability do we assign to the Cap Capricorn being IT?
Cap Capricorn - yes. On balance of the evidence and sources. The logistics side takes a while to sort out from the port (thanks Fantomass), and cars slip by us. plus this direct quote to the NZ customer +plus everything we know. Downside is this logistics process will take a couple of weeks.
I think Sydney has some sleepers ‘press’ cars just spotted now as well as the Auckland ones I just mentioned. All from the press batch.
Seoul did not have any. It doesn’t match with any known vin ranges. The dates don’t work.
Is Cap Capricorn worth watching arrive? If you think it makes you feel better, and see the pivotal moment Australia transformed into an EV economy - well at least a sense of ‘I was there’. Sure go for it. It just a ship though. You won’t see any 3’s. I’d go if I could just for the stalker bragging rights. We’ve been tracking this ship for so damn long, a picture would be good. Note. The arrival time is at the Botany anchorage when the pilot and tugs meet it, not the berthing time.
