So do cars destined for Melbourne also come off at Port Kembla or do they come off in Melbourne?

Yeah it is. The only one that is different is WA. I am unsure if it is always different for WA though.
I'm in a similar boat to you. I live in regional Tasmania, although I now have a final invoice (in the order page of my account) which shows the allocated VIN.Thanks mate, checked and no luck on VIN. Guess I d better forget it and wait
My understanding (which may not be correct) of the delivery process in regional areas is that Tesla cannot give you an EDD until just before delivery. They are not doing the delivery themselves, but are using a third party transport service to do the last leg(s) involving shipping , registration and delivery.
Until that third party service notifies them that they are almost ready for the delivery, they cannot tell you.
One thing to be aware of is that I've found some of the 15A sockets at caravan parks are on pillars where the supplied lead doesn't physically fit, due to the right angle plug, so a 15A caravan extension lead might be necessary if you're planning to charge at one.
Really appreciate it. Is there anything that stops someone stealing the Type2-Type2 cable?
In the picture below you can see the small square hole at the top of the type 2 plug, both male and female ends feature this.
When your Tesla starts to charge you will hear a loud click where the charge port will use this to lock the plug to the car; to remove it you need to stop charging and unlock the car before you can pull the plug out of the charge port.
Most untethered chargers also lock the plug when charging starts but not all.
It's a shame they can't offload the local Tesla deliveries in Brisbane too — I guess they're just fueling up?

Yeah it seems mad that they stop here, then take all those cars to Sydney, only to load them onto trucks and drive them all the way back.
Probably to streamline customs process and maybe reduce costs on using the ports, my guess.
Here watch this while you wait14 days down. 12 to 18 weeks to go.

I would also recommend his test drive with the new autopilot update.

That's true. If venturing to a route where you are dependent on these, always allow for weird situations! e.g. in the pic below (many years ago, not a Tesla), the weight of the brick part would put the plug out of the socket, unless I looped the cable over the top of the post.
I already am. I just paused it to order some of the things I've seen in it
Look on the bright side, it could be like this:14 days down. 12 to 18 weeks to go.
