A tesla driven normally and once you have worked it out uses hardly any brake capacity other than in an emergency. Note above 95% charge the battery wont accept full regen braking, so the brakes are critical at that point.

Marine Traffic website. It has been under 2 tugs in SFO and is at port 80 now on the map
Vessel details for: TRIUMPH ACE (Vehicles Carrier) - IMO 9209506, MMSI 352062000, Call Sign H3CB Registered in Panama | AIS Marine Traffic
The ship will go to auckland first. Here is the port of auckland schedule, so you can match ships. In the past tesla have used ANL.
Of course it could be a phantom ship thats kept off the schedule....
POAL - Expected Arrivals
I saw that too. Triton Ace is currently in East China sea and heading to a port in China. Would guess from where it is, to be going to Korea to pick up Kia and Hyundais (or go to Japan) and then go to New Zealand, rather than to US and back to NZ.
Ahh that would make sense! I thought that perhaps it would be doing its first trip and then the next would be to SF, however i know nothing about timing with long haul cargo!
Most ships have a regular cycle with contracts in place. There is still the reality that to make a ro-ro a viable transit it would need to be near full, so around 30,000 tonnes of cargo. Still can’t fathom that many sales to australia and nz, and if there are we are about to have a serious service problem.
I’d be watching ANL container ships more closely.

ANL are the company that brought out my tesla’s on each occasion. Of course tesla wont confirm or deny this, but by piecing together the information provided by updates from the portal and the delivery specialist it became reasonably obvious which boat mine were on. Indeed I was unable to find any other carrier doing this run.
Here is there schedule, just scroll down to get the correct journey. The boat has to go to nz, sydney, and melbourne. Adel and perth will be railed from melb. It could also be that not all cars are on the same boat.

That’s a bummer when you live on top of a hill, I imagine coming home after a long trip, the hill might cause a little angst. Leaving home with a near full battery for the same type of trip would render the regen pointless.
Yes that correct, but going down a steep hill using the accelerator is a bit disconcerting the first few times. Your tesla will fairly much stop if you dont. Doesnt matter if you are going up, down, or flat, your tesla will only do what you ask of it. Takes some getting used to, and particularly difficult to adapt if you drive both a tesla and a fossil car regularly.
Best avoid full charges, helps the battery and makes driving consistent.
A good example is departing adelaide for melbourne. Up the freeway you will use 70km of range to get around 40km distance. Coming the other way you will use no range at all until you are halfway across the city. Hence you have to consider up hills if you are planning a marginal journey that has no down hills to average out.

For Aus and NZ to fill up 30,000 tonnes of Tesla in single shipping, I suspect they would have to open all options and configurations including the SR without plus. As there are many waiting for different options and probably plenty of people for whom even SR+ would be out of price range.
Other problem is tesla dont count a delivery until the owner has paid, so having 10,000 unsold cars stashed on two islands isnt going to help the stock analysts, not to mention the cashflow.
Also all tesla cars are showing an august delivery, which suggests none of them are made yet as S and X are made to order.

I'd put AU/NZ orders at around 1500 at July 31. Reasoning; ~3600 S/X in AU vs ~20000 in UK, or, AU 1% global Tesla market Vs UK 5%, both ratios ~20% of UK share, then add another 5% of UK for NZ. Google docs has UK Model 3 orders at ~6000, so 25% of that is 1500. That's <1/3 of a RoRo vessel capacity, so the Teslas would have to be in the company of other makes to make it viable. Containers make sense to stagger the deliveries so it's a more orderly delivery and storage situation - and it's regular shipping service.

I agree that cars for Aus and NZ are not made yet, as the number of RHD VIN-s is still too low to even cover the first months orders for UK, though I suspect they should start making them shortly, if they plan to have them delivered in August. I do not believe they would send any cars here just for stock and unsold, as they are constrained by production so leaving cars waiting while there are customers wanting theirs is not the kind of thing they would do.
