The special measures needed to transport high-voltage battery packs makes it worthwhile to transport those separately from the cars.
The packs need to be kept alive too - if they are in the car too long without being charged they would deteriorate.
The batteryless Model S bodies now ship in sea freight containers in foursomes.
I bet it is much cheaper to do it this way.
