Gut wrenching to read this.🫣
Can you imagine if you were tracking your import and the trace vanished?!

I read about this last month, pretty sad.

These car carrying ships are so big now, when anything like this happens thousands of cars can be lost.

I read about that a short while back too when they mentioned something about the lithium-ion batteries in the electric cars being a PITA to put out if they catch fire. The article went out to ponder whether maritime procedures would change to take into account electric cars and the issues they present during transport.

As all these cars were probably brand new, going to main dealers , the owners have just ordered them from a demo model or brochure so have no personal attachment to the car. Will probably just re order another one.

With waiting lists long enough already now being extended even further due to component shortages (and potentially about to increase even further due to the latest world crisis) I wonder how many end users will cancel their orders. It'll be interesting to know in a situation like this (ship sinking) whether the 'buyers' will get their deposits returned.

I guess the purchaser claims off the dealers insurance , the dealer claims off the shippers insurance , the shipper claims off the shipping company , and if you live long enough you get a claims settlement and get your money back .

I suppose it will vary from dealership to dealership. Time to read the small print on your sales contract.

I wonder what the C9 will look like.

I wonder what the C9 will look like.

Chevrolet are dropping the C in favour of a K for 2025 model year so the K 9 will look like this . And it`s all electric .

I'm sure they will go the electric route and come up with a cool futuristic design.
