Not only do you have a shorter route to watch, but you also are getting better updating. Mine doesn’t have a position update for the past 15 hours. Longer and boringer.
Once you are out to sea you have to switch to satellite tracking. You can do a free trial or pay for one month of SAT Flexible https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/online-services/single-services
Even though it’s only $15, my wife confirmed my secondary impulse to not watch a dot cross a blue expanse. Can I assume I’ll still be able to “watch” it go through the Panama Canal, since that’s close to land? (I also will likely do the free trial when it is with seven days of reaching the destination port so I can watch it then, unless coming up the West Coast doesn’t require Satellite to see?)
I, too, will resist the impulse to pay actual money to track a digital dot. But I think the 7-day trial I started will cover the Atlantic crossing without trouble, and then it will be back under AIS terrestrial tracking for free. You have a lot more geography to deal with.
I had east coast delivery so cannot say. I noticed when it was close to land it was trackable. Mine made it from Spain to Baltimore in the trial window myself.
Yes, when close enough to land, it will be in range of AIS receivers and your free tracking capability will resume.
I just wish I knew if it would be close enough to land coming up the West Coast. I clicked on a handful of ships on the marine tracker map along the coast and some were in range, and some were out of range. Just not sure when to trigger the free trial in these 23, longest days of this journey.
I've noticed that myself. Oddly how far out some would be tracked and then not others too. Good luck deciding when to sign up.
Today’s the day after ‘today’s the day.’ #stoked I’ve updated the spreadsheet with my dates. @folks that have received their ‘22 MINIs: is the charger included still the 110 Volt / 15 Amp? Kind of hoping they’ve upgraded to 110-240V options. Thanks!
I'm not sure we have had anyone post a 2022 'delivered' on here yet. I'm probably 2 weeks out or so. Congrats on your production status! So if your status just changed to "today's the day" yesterday, then you can expect about 2 weeks on that status until it moves into 'exterior body assembly'. Mine was 12 days of 'today's the day'. After that it moves quickly through other statuses. Should only take a couple days from 'exterior body assembly' to sitting at the Southampton port.
Congratulations! And welcome! You picked a nice place to be while you wait. It does seem you will want to track the Delivery Stories thread. When someone (read:GvilleGuy) pops up with the first 2022 here, you can ask loads of questions!
My little green blip of a ship is almost halfway across the Atlantic! Go ship, go! Today I emailed my salesman and verified my add-ons. (Roof rack, bonnet stripes, shorty antenna, weather mats) He said it will all be taken care of.
You have such a shorter trip! My boat, at best, is still 7 days away from its first stop, Cartegena, after which it will take another 13 days to get to California.
Sorry to disappoint you, but the label on my SE's Level 1 charging cable says only 10 amps. However, it's possible it may operate on 240 Volts with an adapter cable. A brave person proved the Level 1 charging cable that came with our Clarity PHEV works on 240 Volts with an adapter cable to fit a 240-Volt outlet. It's been postulated that electric car manufacturers use the same basic charging cables with different plugs in countries whose electric sockets deliver more than 200 Volts. I can't remember if anyone on this MINI Cooper SE forum has tried this experiment. I don't recommend being that brave person.
