All you ever wanted to know about Tesla Batteries - Part I
INSIDEEVs answered in a YouTube Video and on their website lots of open questions regarding Tesla vehicle batteries.
Also the discussions on these batteries in the chat is absolutely worthwhile reading. Here the link to the overview:

But not yet mentioned in Part I are all information regarding international shipping.

That´s why we sent the following chat entry to INSIDEEVs:

QM Programm / UN 38.3 Test
Unfortunately some important infos for the logistic of shipping a Tesla or a Tesla lithium ion battery were not given - some questions are therefore still left unanswered:
1. In order to ship a battery-powered vehicle internationally the battery needs to be manufactured according to the Quality Management System described in the transport regulations (Source e.g. ICAO TI, Part 2, 2;9.3.1 e)).
2. Also each non-prototype non small production series lithium ion battery needs to have successfully passed the UN Test Series 38.3.
3. A confirmation that the battery incorporates a safety venting device or is designed to preclude a violent rupture under normal conditions of carriage.
4. A confirmation that each battery is equipped with effective means as necessary to prevent dangerous reverse current flow.
Up until now we were unable to receive any of those infos from Tesla. So it would be great if in Part 2 of "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Tesla Batteries" you could answer those questions, too.

You want to have all requirements for logistics in one document? For non-yet-customers you can find an example of such a Supplier Inquiry Form for free under this link:
