Tesla’s 22-day production halt at its Giga Shanghai factory slowed down delivery of some of the automaker’s cars to European customers, though the wait is nearly over for said customers.
Two ships are headed to Europe from a port near Shanghai with Tesla’s Model Y and 3 units, and six more are set to head the same way in the coming months, according to multiple observers on Monday, as Tesla Mag reports.
The first two ships have already departed and are heading to a port in Zeebrugge, Belgium, set to arrive near mid-August.
The first ship includes 2,949 electric vehicles (EVs) total, with 1,999 Model 3 units and 950 Model Y units.

Future ships include the Hoegh St. Petersburg, scheduled to leave with exactly 2,000 Model Y units aboard, before the RCC Classic lands in Barcelona with 4,052 Model Y units on board in mid- to late-August.
Another ship, the Glovis Spirit, will arrive at the Spanish port in mid-August as well, with 3,946 Model Y units
Next, the Helios Ray will bring 2,900 Model 3 units and 2,048 Model Y units to the Koper port in Slovenia in Q3.
Finally, the Glovis Captain and the Lovis Crystal will arrive in Zeebrugge and Barcelona, respectively, on or around September 19, each with another several thousand units.
As of Q2, Tesla says Giga Shanghai now has an annual production capacity of over 750,000 cars, up from 450,000.
