Maybe they just haven't gotten to updating my order record yet. Who knows...
Don Juan is just about to dock in Shanghai, so maybe we'll get more info in a few days?

If I were in your shoes I’d be using the live chat with Polestar tomorrow to find out if they’re expecting you to take delivery on Friday… because if they are you have a bunch of paperwork to do

Out of curiosity, where are you getting this info?

That is impressively nerdy. Well done!
Thermopylae gets to see quite a bit of the world, doesn’t she?
As of now the Armacup website is still showing Don Juan coming to Port Kembla, but they only update that page weekly on Fridays…

My understanding of Nordic_R’s post is that if my car was scheduled for 12 Feb and yours for 17 Feb, I would see “Feb” and you would see “Mar”
So I wouldn’t freak out too much… he says, waiting anxiously himself

Woohoo! Go you!
No email for me, but mine is on a novated lease, so that probably goes to the finance company.
I am pretty sure that I got my VIN about the time the car was built. I’ve certainly had it for a while…

ok, so there are three kinds of charging:
Level 1: Unplug your kettle and plug the car in instead. Your car comes with a cable for this. Very slow, but if your car does 30km/day commuting, might be all you need.
Level 2: Home charging and slow destination charging (7-22kW). You might find one of these chargers at a shopping centre or tourist spot. Great to top up while you do the shopping. Terrible if you’re trying to get from Sydney to Coffs in a hurry. The car can only take on 11kW through these chargers, even if they anre rated at 22kW. Often these chargers do not have a cable, and the car does not come with one.
Level 3: DC Fast Charging. 50kW - 350kW. These have their own built-in cables, and these are the chargers you’re after while you’re en route. No need for a cable.
Most people don’t neeeeed a cable for a level 2 charger, but it’s very handy to have and the 3rd party ones are way cheaper than the Polestar branded ones. Haven’t heard any complaints about cables from reputable suppliers like EVSE. If you do buy one, get a cable that can do the full 11kW the car can handle (it will be a 22kW cable) rather than saving $30 by going with the 7kW one.

Really good point that I have edited into my post. Let me know if it makes sense?

Yeah... you're right. I kinda discounted because if you're doing say 100km/day you have to be much more diligent than I am about always plugging in and if you miss a day you probably need to go find a DC charger at some point.
For me, personally, I don't expect to need anything other than a Level 1 / regular 10 amp plug. And I suspect that most other people don't either.
