Ship unloads Tesla RHD Model 3s
Container ship the Cap Capricorn has reportedly unloaded Tesla Model 3 RHD EVs in Auckland on August 12 and 13 and should arrive in Sydney on August 16 to drop some off there.
Just how many are due in each city isn’t known but Tesla has said there’s keen interest, with New Zealand ahead of Australia by a few days in getting them.
The Cap Capricorn’s previous port of call is listed on the Ports of Auckland website as Long Beach, California.
It unloaded at the Fergusson terminal in Auckland with the vehicles trucked out.
Those with Model 3 orders began getting emails from Tesla early in August indicating deliveries would start shortly.
Several RHD test drive and media vehicles have been in both countries for weeks.
The Port of San Francisco’s Pier 80 is busy loading Tesla Model 3s on ships, Xautoworld.com reports.
It says the Glovis Cosmos was loading at the port, the Glovis Courage was sharing the Tesla global delivery load and the Glovis Champion would meet RHD Model 3 demand in the United Kingdom.
Tesla has been approached for comment.

I’ve received an email and txts from Tesla. Hope my red M3P was on the Cap Capricorn! If so, not long to wait now.
