Park further away from numpties.
My recently-sold 6-year-old Subaru Liberty had ZERO car park damage, so I'd be chasing up any identifiable events.
(I should say that I drive my wife mad by parking in the furthest extremes of car parks to avoid (where possible) encounters with other vehicles. [Perhaps The Professor is a bit of a misanthrope.] I know where all the 'best spaces' are in my local shopping centres (pole on both sides of the space, or similar), Sydney Airport P3, etc. My car will soon learn where to park.)
My plan is to reach there atleast 2 hours before and hang around with a gopro or mirrorless and relax, rejoice and devour each and every second with a smile. Even considering going there early morning taking the whole day off.

I feel for you. The system is not deterministic.
Another member on here ordered same config as me (and you) in December, and received his car in the first batch from Don Juan.
You can see my details in sig (below) - ordered same car as you a few days AFTER you. My car was on the MV Paganella. I've been through all the date changes you have experienced. The experience is identical EXCEPT that I got a VIN a couple of weeks ago, and I haven't had any EDD change today.
There is some (anecdotal? unreliable? speculative?) evidence that choosing Chatswood DC can cause things to be delayed because the daily delivery capacity at Chatswood is only a handful of cars. I originally selected Chatswood DC, and I missed out on getting a VIN in the first round of excitement across the Christmas/New Year period. I contacted Tesla (took a punt?) and asked to change to the Alexandria DC, and now I have a VIN. I don't think this proves anything with any degree of certainty... but you have to wonder why my order seems to be progressing and your (slightly earlier) order is languishing in some way.
On the weekend, I popped into the Alexandria showroom to check a few aspects of the car and to confirm that the change from Chatswood DC to Alexandria DC had been completed. It had. But the sales guy also told me that many people who had selected the smaller DCs would see their deliveries shifted to Alexandria because they need to move a LOT of cars in the next month or so - and Alexandria is the way to make that happen.
Don't do anything because I told you to (I hope you've spotted all the caveats in the words above), but I gotta wonder whether you might be caught up in the Chatswood Malaise. Or not.
I was sitting in my my car in sons work carpark waiting to give him a ride home when an old lady parked next to me, got out leaning her door against mine. I opened my window and it was clear she did not care. After she started to walk out i got out and took a photo of her car and number plate. She got angry citing im not alliwed to takd photos of her car or something.
I just said obviously you dont care about others property but my insurance company is, prepare to hear from them.
Lots of People just dont care, its all about them. One day they will do it to someone less peacefull and they will end up getting thumped
