I was in a very similar position to you and was concerned about additional charges, but I managed to beat any 'No Deal Deadline'.
If it helps, and you might just be in with a chance, below is what happened with my car :

30/11/20 Paintshop start
03/12/20 Released to carrier
08/12/20 At sea
09/12/20 At port of entry (UK)
14/12/20 Arrived at dealer, (north of Scotland).

Hopefully, if yours is as quick, you'll be OK anyway.
But, even if there is no deal, I suspect the car would only have to have left Germany before 31/12/20 for no additional taxes to apply.

Good luck !
