Gotta reckon they will want to get these cars in the hands of customers as quickly as possible. The Stinkship has space for just over 6,000 cars. If they are all Tesla Model Y, that's something like AUD420m in delayed sales. That will have made a big hole in many commission plans for the final quarter of 2023. Selling through the Don's cargo FAST will clear the decks for all those Model Ys when they come back (on whatever ship is assigned that task).
None of which explains why I have no VIN.

Just gotta hope your selected combo is one out of the roughly 500 possible permutations that is also available when the DJ makes port

No VIN for me in Canberra, but I didn't order my LR until December 11.
Still EDD of February - April for me.
VIN for me, M3LR white, black interior est delivery Jan 18-Feb 8
Don Juan showing up in Brisbane tomorrow which means Port Kembla a day or so later, followed by Melbourne maybe a week or so after.
Seems realistic to land, get customer cleared and to Sydney by Jan 18 even factoring public holidays.

22nd December, I also made sure I completed all steps in the app on the same day.

Hmmm... I don't think it's that many.
(Assuming that the AP/EAP/FSD are software-only options that can be freely configured at point of delivery... that is, that those options are not 'set' at the factory and hence don't generate additional SKUs (Sock Keeping Units)):
Number of variants = [number of drivetrain options (RWD/LR)] x [number of colours] x [number of wheel options (Photon/Nova)] x [number of interior options (black/white)] = 2 x 5 x 2 x 2 = 40.
It's a long time since I studied permutations and combinations, but I think that's how it works.
Of course, they won't all be required 'evenly', but a spreadsheet and some sales history will pretty quickly point to the split of SKUs to be ordered to fill a ship. And the same spreadsheet will be able to tell you how many of each variant need to be shipped to each port.
