The first 1k is just an inspection. Basically just a quick look over.
It does not include an oil change and counts towards the first 2 free services.
Just had my 5k done, no charge. The 10k and all others going forward will be on your dime.

So regarding the first official oil change from the deaer: At what minimum mileage do they change the oil? Did they change your oil at 5k miles?
I did my 5k service at 4.8k which included the oil and filter change.

^^^^Well, I wouldn't and I didn't wait on my first change. If you are planing on using full synthetic oil, the dealer most likely is using dino oil. IMO, get the first free oil change out of the way, then for future changes use your own choice.

Will redline it after the second oil change at the dealership at 10k miles. This is just a personal method of breaking in the engine for performance and trouble-free longivity. My bespoke edition does appear to have an oil cooler installed so should be fine.

Finally switch to full synthetic at 15K miles.
If you are waiting until 10k to redline you are missing out on a lot of fun driving.
These cars are not built to be babied.
