More Tesla Model 3s due
Several ships carrying Tesla Model 3s are understood to be landing them in Australia and New Zealand before the end of 2019.
Tesla ship tracker @VedaPrime reckons six Model 3 carrying ships have arrived or are due to arrive in Australia from California from early November until December 31.
The Synergy Keelung arrived in Auckland on November 18 and is due to dock in Sydney on November 23, the ship reported by VedaPrime to be carrying Model 3s.
The tracker also confirms Model 3s are on the ANL Tongala, due to arrive in Auckland on November 25 and Sydney November 29, the Debussy in Auckland on December 2 and Sydney December 6, and the Seoul Express due on December 9 and 13 respectively.

for each ship with up to 800 vehicles able to be carried on each.
The Tesla Model 3’s arrival in late August caused a stir in both countries, but the rate of deliveries dropped off during October.
vehicle figures put the Model 3 in the top 10 of all cars sold in September, also putting it at the top of the country’s new EV list even in October when 82 sales were reported, way ahead of its nearest EV rivals.
More than 2400 Model 3s were expected to be delivered in Australia in September, numbers declining in October.
Tesla doesn’t provide official Model 3 delivery figures for either country, although the Electric Vehicle Council in Australia gives an annual Tesla “estimate”.
