That's a good result , thanks for that.
I think Grahame got 17th of Feb on the ship database.

And just so you all know... I'm #7 so get those horses saddled up!
Grimaldi keep changing the schedule. In a week it has gone from 12/2 to 17/2 and today it's the 19/2 with 2 leaving on 28/2

I’ll take that!
Have I ruined it all by becoming number 10? I'm not going anywhere unless I win the lottery, which I don't play, and can suddenly afford three times the price for the top end Plaid+ Model S with 520 mile range and a house move so I'm near the Tesla dealer when it breaks....

The more the merrier. I'm still up for a MME meet at Gridserve in Braintree WHEN we get our MME'S and WHEN we get out of lockdown. Anyone else? If I remember correctly they have 36 charging stations although some are Tesla's.

Count me in too (FE, AWD, ER, Rapid Red). By the way the VIN tracker is not giving me any dates yet, but just spoke to my dealer (Gates Stevenage) and they say Vista is showing a production date of 01/03/2021, but no guarantee. They agreed to call me with any update after this date.

Do you think this could be due to the ship not being full as cars expected to ship are delayed due to the QC issues? Hopefully this would mean they are waiting for our cars to pass the QC and be loaded.

The QC issue should be a relatively quick fix as it seems a lot of US cars were sorted at KC speedway rather than going back to Mexico etc. There is also word about other cars build dates pushed back, I hope this is to free up staff to sort out the QC on the prebuilt cars like ours. Fingers crossed they can clear the QC backlog in the next two weeks and get the cars to the docks.

Perhaps Ford are the biggest exporter for that ship as there will be 100s of uk and other cars ready to export so they might be able to influence when it goes.

It would appear that maybe it was just a reset on sync4, battery coolant fluid level check, a variopower box issue and a couple of other things. Someone posted on the forum about them. I would imagine that they are getting short of space at the factory which is why they are putting back production or it's due to supply issues.

After all the posts on here recently from people saying that they were pulling the plug it's nice to hear that there are some in it for the long haul. At least 6 of us anyway.
I'm here for the long run as well!

I've got 5 months more to wait but that Grabber Blue First Edition just ticks all of the boxes for me.

If the AWD ER arrives 2 months before I may take it and resell once the FE arrives if anyone wants to cut the wait and get a low milage used one!

I'm sure that there will be someone who would take it off your hands
