Are there any more ships coming in at the end of May?
Just got off Nissan CS and they told me there is a shipment expected end of May.

There was one other ship in Oppama a few days ago, but can't remember the name - but it didn't appear to ever go to Long Beach.
Any other ship would have had to have left at least a couple days ago to make it to Long Beach by the end of the month.

Thanks for the info drees.
My dashboard says June. Both CS and PD don't have any further information except that CS indicated to me today that my car should be delivered "end of June". Therefore, I am trying to determine the ship that potentially has my car in its cargo.
If there are no ships coming into Long Beach end of May, does it mean I will not see my car even at end of June?

My earlier post in the June deliveries thread w/data from my dealer's NNAnet access expresses doubt that my car is actually on it's way given it has a May production month - both United Spirit and Andromeda Spirit left Japan in late April. Ecotality seems to think my ETA is ~June 22 - we'll know soon enough if that holds up or not.
For what it's worth, through all of my conversations with Nissan CS and with what I have seen on this board, my theory is that Nissan's definition of 'production' or 'build', includes certain steps taken at the US port. So your May production month may still allow for ship that left in April and a delivery that occurs in June.drees said:My earlier post in the June deliveries thread w/data from my dealer's NNAnet access expresses doubt that my car is actually on it's way given it has a May production month - both United Spirit and Andromeda Spirit left Japan in late April.

BTW -Ecotality also said that Nissan told them to June 22 for my estimated delivery date. However my dealer says that Nissan gave them a June 11th delivery date for my car (you might want check your with dealer as well).
I would think 'final assembly' is part of the 'production' of the car.aleph5 said:Got my car last Friday . Interesting to note that the "final assembly" on the sticker is not Long Beach, but Norfolk. This doesn't come up in a search, so apparently the few eastern U.S. deliveries have allowed this to fly under the radar on MNL. However many Norfolk has received I have no idea, but this may explain confusion over the various reported numbers of cars in the country at certain times (1000, 1500, etc.).
Holy crap - good catch. I totally missed that it was heading to Vancouver (NEW WESTMJ == Vancouver - it was even on my status post that I update). That must be the ship that mxp said is due to arrive in Long Beach at the end of the month bearing LEAFs.MaryC said:It looks like the World Spirit is likely the next ship in. It left Oppama on 5/14 heading to West Canada. It will probably head to LA after that. That seems to be the pattern lately.
2-6 weeks from port arrival to delivery is a rough estimate. Some vehicles that arrived Long Beach on 03-24-11 haven't been delivered yet.drees said:My theory is:
1. To maintain a June delivery must be be in port already - it seems to take 2-6 weeks to prep/deliver a car. It takes 10-15 days for a boat to get from Oppama to Long Beach depending on the route and stops.
2. Any remaining June cars were on the last ship to dock (Andromeda Spirit on the 14th) - and haven't reached the step in processing where customer dashboards update w/the week-of date and VIN. Typically this seems to happen between 2-7 days of the ship docking.
Your car could have been on the World Spirit which docked in Long Beach on April 11 and left Japan in late March.TimLee said:In my case, I got a week of delivery projection on the dashboard and the VIN # from the owner's portal about 3 weeks after the vehicle was manufactured. Since it was manufactured on 03-10-11, is highly unlikely that it arrived at Long Beach until the Hoegn Inchon docked on 04-24-11.
So at least on my order I was notified of the VIN around the time the vehicle was leaving Oppama.

Impossible. No way it could arrive Long Beach 05-11-11, have A/C firmware change done which CS advised was done at port, and have options added, and be rail shipped to TN and arrive at dealer on 05-16-11.drees said:Your car could have been on the World Spirit which docked in Long Beach on May 11 and left Japan in late April.TimLee said:In my case, I got a week of delivery projection on the dashboard and the VIN # from the owner's portal about 3 weeks after the vehicle was manufactured.

Sorry - I meant "docked in Long Beach on April 11 and left Japan in late March" - edited my original post.TimLee said:Impossible.

Fairly unlikely it made it onto the ship that left Oppama on 03-10-11 on the same day it was manufactured. So almost certain that it arrived Long Beach on Hoegn Inchon on 04-24-11.

And its a big one, 6400 car capacity! Of course not all Leafs. What are the Luna Spirit and World Spirit, like 3000 or so cars?drees said:The Grand Cosmo docked in Long Beach this morning. It was at the Oppama port on May 3rd so seems very likely to have LEAFs on it.
