Stuck at English Port

My 2023 SE Signature has been sitting “at port” on the tracker since 5/26, going on 3+ weeks now. My Mini is arriving through the Baltimore port. Anyone else having a similar issue getting off port at England? I’ve tried to be patient but 3 weeks seems like a long time.

I have tried calling Mini and they said they don’t have any updates until after it switches to “in transit”
 
So. I may have an update or good news for you. I also have an SE Signature that is currently sitting "at port" on my tracker as well. I called MINI customer service on June 8 (the day or day after it switched to "at port") to get the name of the ship that it was on. They told me that they don't have that information but my MA would. I feel that I have been pestering him enough, so, I did my own digging.
I read in old posts that you could track your car through Wallenius Wilhelmsen's website, but that is no longer an option. So, I searched for vessels leaving Southampton and traveling to Baltimore, the port my vehicle is also supposed to arrive at.
I hope that this means this is good luck for you because a ship, named Tombarra, left Southampton on June 10 and is scheduled to be at port in Baltimore on June 21!
Here is a link to some tracking information. It is currently out to sea so, unless you pay for a subscription you will not be able to see the current location until it is closer to shore. https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ai...21/mmsi:249758000/imo:9319753/vessel:TOMBARRA

I am crossing my fingers that both of our cars are almost here!!!!
 
That would be truly a blessing if this is just an error and the car is crossing now and almost here. I just had my level 2 plug installed in my garage today on a 50 amp breaker (wanted to future proof it for other EVs down the road) so I’m also set and ready for it to be here! Fingers crossed we are both in the same boat here
 
OH! Also, one reason I thought that my car was on this ship was that it was the ONLY ship (a vehicle carrier no less) that was leaving Southampton and traveling to Baltimore. Maybe that means your car was just waiting for this one ship to bring it over and it had to wait a few extra weeks? Here is where I found that information: https://www.southamptonvts.co.uk/Live_Information/Shipping_Movements_and_Cruise_Ship_Schedule/
However, since it has been 8 days the ship information is no longer listed there. Wish I would have taken a screenshot for you!

I just bought my level 2 today! Which one did you go for? I am counting down the days. We had to purchase from a dealer out of state so we have to fly out to get it and road trip it back. It's going to be interesting.

Which dealer did you get yours from? Also did you have to order it or are you getting one whose buyers backed out?

The 2023 comes with a level 2 charging cable set up. I just got my my 14-50 240 volt outlet installed in my garage. I put it on a 50 amp breaker. That’s over kill for the mini SE as it basically will max out charging rate with a 32 amp breaker. But I wanted to “future proof” the set up for other future EV purchases. It was $600 total for everything including labor
