No expert here but I don't think so. Normally containers go onto trucks and except for inspection purposes aren't opened at ports.

Just while our New Zealand cousins are celebrating, and assuming that it is the Seoul Express that is carrying our precious cargo, then for Sydney drivers according to this site:
Daily Vessel Movements | Port Authority New South Wales
it would mean that the ship arrives on 9/6/2019 at 12:30 pm on 6 Brotherson Dock
The exact location of the Dock can be seen here:

I wonder if the containers will go out to Erskine Park as suggested earlier by Fantomsss (#3217) or just to the 1/118 Bourke Street/Alexandria Service Centre, which is closer to Port Botany, but might struggle with larger numbers of cars?

Hard to say. The 3 demo cars seen on the street together 2 weeks ago came out of the direction of the port. But this is not a predicator of larger number of containers in Auckland. It’s a bigger logistically task than having 3 drivers.
Hmm, I dont have "Prepare for Delivery" ticked. I put my delivery address in (Christchurch) even though I want to fly to Auckland to collect. I wonder if Auckland deliveries are prioritised perhaps?

They'll be taken to the euphoria containment and holding facility I'd suspect
I was told in the Tesla showroom that South Island would be prioritised due to the longer lead in time so that deliveries are received across the country at the same time.
Definitely thinking into it too much then! It is interesting that some buyers are getting VINs and some (me) are not. Lots of possible reasons though. Finance selection could be another reason.

Yup, I feel the same. Plus I have declared custom plates. That could be another factor as well.
Model 3 questions answered today:
- v10 YouTube/Netflix hopefully on separate app rather than via non-existent browser
- Premium connectivity potentially equivalent of USD$100pa after 12m comp
- Accessories are scarce at this stage
- Floor mats premium interior only Tesla Tom on Twitter
- No further info on FSD price increase or NoA
- licence plate drilled into low profile bracket (video coming soon)
- White Seats on Perf only (same as US)
- Reason that LRAWD > Perf range is purely down to the aero wheels. Not software locked. Not battery nor power train.

How do you know if you have a VIN, my account just has ‘pending trade in valuation within 24 hours’.

Click on Tesla Account. Click on the image of your car. View source (if using Chrome browser it is Ctrl U) and search for vin.
This. Search in the source for 5yj3. This is the start of all Model 3 vins

Woops, in my excitement to finish the ordering process I never saw the bit about custom plates, did they specifically mention it?
If so I guess a phone call tomorrow can sort it. I have my VIN at least...
Super annoying online delivery system. After entering my address it told me it was incorrect and defaulted to Auckland "United States". It's also impossible to navigate past the Trade-In screen. Finally, what's the difference between paying in "Cash" or "Self arranged loan"? They both end up with Tesla receiving $73k by direct credit unless people front up with a briefcase full of $20 bills...
No, all containers are loaded on trucks and taken away after the customs inspections
There will be another boat in another week, and another week after that. Tesla wont want all cars at once.
