that’s a lot of cars!

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I wonder how many are stolen

[Red Badger]

They are new vehicles..................

[CodeJockey]

Lithium battery was not stowed properly?

[Red Badger]

I remember a ship full of Hondas went down in the Pacific a few years back in a storm.............

And they can legally be yours if you can get to them.

Many of these vehicles were on order by individual purchasers. News is gradually becoming known because dealers are contacting customers.

Many of these were very high end vehicles.

[Red Badger]

I was thinking the same thing. Nobody is saying anything about the cargo, what kind how many, etc.

If it was a shipment of all electric vehicles, it would be a public relations disaster for future electric sales!...............

Salt spray and the transport of EVs is not a good combination.

[Red Badger]

I’m wondering how many electrics were on board...................

[Blurb2350]

There’s a simile in there somewhere.

[Squantos]

Sink it ......

[Red Badger]

Batteries should be shipped separately.............

[WKUHilltopper]

So, can we expect big discounts on the stickers of these? You’d think this would be a pirate’s hay day with all these cars floating around aimlessly. Lazy punks! LOL

[Red Badger]

If it’s a ship full of electric vehicles, it will still burn and pollute the ocean. It will eventually burn a hole in the ship..

[Red Badger]

If it’s a cargo full of electric cars, that will sink all future sales!......................

[Red Badger]

Whenever there is a big flood up north there is usually a flood of used cars for sale down south in six months..............

You’re very own burned Porsche zonk mobile.

Surprised that there aren’t a few salvagers trying to get a tow line on that ship.
