The trouble with this is that I have received information from Tesla which says they WILL attach custom plates if we have them.
So like all things with this process, we’ll only find out the truth when the cars are ready for collection...
Regarding exchange rates... yes the AUD is looking sick and Tesla could conceivably raise AUD pricing as a result. But equally Tesla might not do that, or they might do another price drop in the USA which offsets any exchange rate variation the other way here.
In short, the future cannot be predicted. You might get lucky. You might not get lucky. Ordering now solely because you think the price might rise is not necessarily the right choice, especially if you were hanging out for different options not currently available.

And when I went in to my local Tesla store two weeks ago to ask about custom platea, I was told yes, it's fine and to make sure they have the plate before delivery day.
We can't go around quoting this information as goapel. It could be different per state or it could be just plain wrong. We won't know yet

Well said, I think it varies based on the state. For example no sense in paying 175 in VIC for slimline plates just to make them personalised.
Because I am registering in ACT, Tesla has no presence there and will provide me with a Tax Invoice and I have to go do the rest. -- according to them, and I am happy to do this as well. I have the option of collection in either Sydney or home delivery in Canberra.

It's just like the apple store, you can take as long or as little as you like.

You'll get fined in Victoria if you don't display your front licence plate....
"But Officer, you must understand, I would have had to wait 5 minutes to attach them at the pick up location...5 WHOLE MINUTES!".
"I completely understand, just get them on when you start your next charge cycle. Have a good day.". And then he/she drives off in the new Vic Police Model X.

Sorry for not being more specific in my earlier response to your post.
The PWC boffins have actually run a cost benefit analysis on various forms of regulatory models that might be implemented for autonomous cars in Australia. The full report is here:
https://www.ntc.gov.au/Media/Reports/(22F3F874-69F0-92FE-EEBD-C199F9D0697D).pdf
Just some numbers to highlights from the report:
The benefits of automated vehicles – the roll-out automated vehicles is expected to bring about significant benefits in terms of accident avoidance, productivity gains, fuel savings, congestion avoidance and benefits to the wider economy. The report draws on a number of studies and has found the average benefits to Australia could be as high as $80 billion per year (when high-level automated vehicles are fully adopted).
The cost of a delay in the roll-out of automated vehicles – the regulatory optionsalone won’t deliver the benefits associated with automated vehicles, but they could bringforward or delay realising these benefits – either by incentivising or disincentivising the supply-of or demand-for automated vehicles. In this study, the estimated costs of a one- year delay in realising these benefits is $5.2 billion to $10.4 billion (0ver 20 years).
Even though the above numbers have been qualified,, I do not think people will think kindly of a government that delays our society to reap these kind of savings/benefits.
For me, FSD is a key driver for my purchase decision and it is a key plank supporting Tesla's mission which is to move towards sustainable transportation.
If you say no, the car gets reassigned to someone else, and you get the next available one that fits with your delivery date.
Awesome picture - thats like mine (will be) when it turns up ...

1. 1 report from someone living near Tesla Auckland, spotting White cars being transported to the store. Unknown model. If true, this would be from Seoul Express. For all we know it could be Model S, 3, X. Hard to know. Or could be the press cars.
2. Some people have had vins disappear. Not unexpected. UK had this a bit. Probably part of the reason they hide it.
3. 1 person had a vin registered from July 21 - This would mean Brotonne Bridge - July 26 arrival. I would def believe this. It had a long load time.
