Import Data relating to Tesla vehicles

Paul S made this Official Information request to New Zealand Customs Service

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Paul S to read a recent response and update the status.

From: Paul S

Kia Ora,

Under the Official Information Act, I request an extract of import data related to vehicles imported by Tesla New Zealand (or their designated shipping agents) between October 1st, 2025, and the present date:

1, A breakdown of the number of vehicles imported under HS Code 8703.80.00 (Electric Vehicles), specifically requesting the "Goods Description" field for these entries.

I am specifically interested in entries that denote "Evaluation Units," "Prototype," "Type Approval Units," or new sub-model designations (e.g., variations of the Model 3) that differ from the standard RWD/Long Range/Performance nomenclature.

2. Any records of Import Entry documentation that specify the Battery Capacity (kWh) or Motor Power (kW) for new variants of the Tesla Model 3.

Thanks,
Paul S
