Tesla Model 3 and Model Y Waiting Room and Delivery Queries (No referral links)

I am sure they will give you a rundown if required, but they do expect you to watch a few vids/read up a little before collecting.

I know many of us here are used to EVs but the Tesla is not very complicated.

I did a quick test drive last summer and it was fine so I’m sure it will be like riding a bike.. it’s prob just the additional bits like cruise control and A/C using voice commands and maybe the general screen set up.

Like anything I’ll prob make a load of mistakes before I have a handle on it. Just hoping that the delivery does come in late Feb. That’s prob a bigger concern at the moment 😉

Below is taken form Teslamotorsclub, latest shipping update, which shows things ramping up to get cars delivered by end Q1.

Some observations/guesses for everyone in Ireland waiting for orders

• Grande California is heading to Barcelona first & then Zeebrugge. It's heading through Suez Canal in the next few days, when ships pass through there VIN allocations usually happen, so if people see them popping up in next few days, this could be the boat with Irish orders. Due to arrive in Zeebrugge on 30th Jan, which would tie into some of the indicative mid/late Feb delivery dates. Think it is hopeful rather than likely Irish cars on this
• Lake Kivu left China in last few days, due at the Suez Canal first week of Feb, good chance it could go direct to Zeebrugge. Can see cars arriving before March if they are on this boat
• Dong a Glaucos - similar location to Lake Kivu just off China & heading towards Barcelona. Could then head to Zeebrugge like Grande California above, but unknown yet. This boat would probably tie in with mid March delieveries.

And all of the above could be totally wrong as it is guesswork 😂

Wednesday 18 Jan 23

It's getting busy!

HOEGH ASIA ETA Zeebrugge DELAYED to 24 Jan . Appears to have resumed her voyage to Le Havre ETA 21 Jan. The waves have subsided and the seas will continue to improve. Her speed will probably be slow at first but increase as conditions improve.

GOLD XING ETA Zeebrugge 29 Jan.

BOHEME ETA Barcelona 25 Jan Not believed to have many Teslas onboard.

GRANDE CALIFORNIA ETA Zeebrugge 30 Jan. Is currently anchored off Jeddah - reason unknown, duration unknown.

SEA HELLINIS Probably heading to Koper. If so, I estimate she should arrive there around 29 Jan although not yet showing on Koper arrivals board.

MSC IMMACOLATA ETA Southampton 10 Feb A very quick load at Shanghai South makes me think she may only have 2000-2500 cars at max onboard.

LAKE KIVU Departed Shanghai South for Suez ETA 03 Feb. No idea of final destination at the moment.

DONG-A GLAUCOS ETA Barcelona 09 Feb She is presently heading for Singapore. (Looks to be on same itinerary as BOHEME)

GRAND MARK ETA Southampton 19 Feb. Currently loading at Shanghai South.

If anyone is really bored and want to watch a convoy going through the Suez, the northbound one (boat shapes) has just exited and the southbound one is waiting at anchor (circles). Red are tankers, green are cargo.

Yeah, I'm thinking that based on the Feb 20ish - Mar 09ish delivery range the CALIFORNIA is the most likely boat. Especially since its calling into Barcelona which will make it a few days later getting to Zeebrugge. The GOLD XING is a little too early I think to be our boat. I've gone from "can't get here soon enough" to "the later the better". The later the boat with the original orders (RWD) gets here, the better the chance of there being some/any information about the delivery dates of more recent LR orders.

Like yourself, it's all finger in the wind/guesswork stuff, but more fun than just sitting waiting for a VIN.

Thanks, bit of luck the delivery dates are achievable 🤞

Oh and the SEAI grant credit has now disappeared from both of my reservations for some reason!

Bank transfer

As a matter of interest did your SEAI credit get removed from the payment section of your account?

Mine was there yesterday but I was contacted by a rep from Belfast with two forms to fill in regarding the grant so I'm assuming it will be re added as a credit after it processed.

Video of teslas loading in Shanghai yesterday, gives you an idea of the scale of the operation. See if you can find yours 😂

Sorry I mean within the app itself.

Yesterday, it had the SEAI grant included as a credit;

The above is now gone from my account for some reason. Maybe it will come back after the SEAI grant is approved.

Is yours rwd of lr? Im base with blue rwd and this is my price

LR model 3. I cancelled my model y rwd today so maybe it somehow impacted the other reservation.

I basically went from two reservations, both showing the grant credit, to both not showing the grant credit, to the single reservation without.

Thanks for checking 👍

Was on to Tesla today as figures in my account were incorrect. They did they only look at the order agreement figures and to ignore the account figures as there must be an issue.
