Can they ship them without batteries?

  It would not be cost effective and more and more cars do not have removable batteries.

  I think that to do the actual 'ro-ro' (roll on roll off) they are shipping the cars with a decent bit of charge in the battery for the roll-off stage. It would probably help a lot to ship them with less charge.

  Sure, but then you'll have to ship the batteries separately and those battery ships will have the same concerns but multiplied due to higher density.

    thats where specialization comes in. its why oil/lng tankers don’t catch fire all the time

  Yes. Then when they put the batteries back in they can claim they were made in the USA.
