There is a lot of mixed messaging on on ID.3 2.1. One of the German forums says 2/22 -
Tue 16 Feb 2021, 8:00 p.m. From 02/22 2.1 should be ready. We'll see if this is really the case ...

Some of the U.K. forums say, okay, we'll see what update you actually come away with.

It is soon, no doubt. Also, ID.3 2.1 maybe "final-ish" in beta testing now. I wonder how close ID.4 2.1 is to ID.3 2.1?

Probably good to give links when possible, let everyone who wants to read the source materials:

SIEM Cicero is parked offshore from Houston. Awaiting a slot, I guess. For all I know, the bottleneck might be just waiting for a harbor pilot.

Anyone know what pier the thing will tie up to? I found one vehicle unloading area in Google Earth, but there might be more than one.

Looks like a ton of marine traffic looking to get into Houston. Bishu Hwy has been in a holding pattern for 2 days off the coast of Rhode Island.

It is a bit hard telling who is waiting for what, but I believe the red dots are ships that are tankers and other oil related things, and green ones are cargo ships.

Keep an eye on the port of Houston car terminal here:

Either way, it looks like a stacked up mess that is going to take some time to sort thru.

The Cicero seems to be sailing to port now. Perhaps we are just a few hours from all first round, 1st Edition D.4's being on US soil.

Viking Queen is finally in port at Emden showing a draught of 7.4m.

The Gift Shop Beach Cam seems to be the closest to the inlet to Galveston Bay. The Cicero may come into view in the next hour or so.

Going up Buffalo Bayou. Not at all what I expected - I don't see a suitable unloading pier up there. Maybe refueling???

The Volkswagen terminal is just beyond the 610. She's almost there.

It wasn't obvious that this Bayou was navigable that far west. But I see where vwgoa is in Google, so it must be.

According to Vessefinder.com the Aristotle's date into Davisville has been moved to 3/1 from 2/25. The Davisville Berthing Schedule still says 2/26. Not sure what is going on there.

Maybe they are waiting for vehicles to be loaded on trains and truck carriers. Seems like the units that have already arrived were designated for dealerships late last week. The Davisville lots might not have space for a few thousand more vehicles.

Bishu Hwy has been anchored off of Rhode Island for several days now. I assume waiting to get into Davisville.

Poor weather in the North Atlantic??

Looks like Cicero has docked in Houston

That was like watching paint dry. It will probably be in port 24 to 36 hours - then what? Back to Emden??

She'll go to Mexico next.
