You have many possibilities.
1. You can take the ferry from Göteborg to Kiel in Germany, or
2. Drive from Göteborg to Malmö and take the bridge to Copenhagen, drive to Rödby, take the ferry to Puttgarten or
3. Take the ferry from Göteborg to Fredrikshamn in Denmark or
4. Drive to Trelleborg and take the ferry to Travemünde or
5 Drive to Helsingborg and take the ferry to Helsingør and drive to Rödby and take the ferry to Puttgarten.
All the ferries take cars.

The ferry from Göteborg to Kiel is operated by Stena Line and runs overnight (dep. around 5 p.m., I think and arr. at around 7 a.m., again est.).
The ferry from Trelleborg to Travemünde (close to Lübeck) is operated by TT- Line. Two- to four departures daily. Sailing time from seven hours during the day to a little longer if you travel overnight (dep. around 10 p.m. and arr. at around 7 a.m.). Same company has ferry service to Rostock scheduled time around 5 hrs. They also operate a speedferry called Delfin which will take you there in around 2.5 to 3 hours. You ought to check, if it is operative at that time of the year, though.
Also Trelleborg to Rostock service operated by Scandlines about the same time required, e.g 5 hrs.
If you choose to drive all the way you could also cross from Sweden to Denmark at Helsingborg/ Helsingör (or take the toll- bridge) and proceed to Rödby from where there are ferries crossing to Puttgarden. The latter take 0.75 hours to cross and operate every half hour, 24 hours a day. Service by Scandlines which also operates the Helsingör/ Helsingborg ferry.
Depending on where you arrive, Rostock, Puttgarden, Kiel or Lübeck I would usually estimate driving time within Germany from around 6 hours (hardly any stops) to 9 hours, also depending on traffic and the speed you are willing to go. As your car will be new I suppose you might want to drive carefully so the engine will not be damaged- in this event add another 1 to two hours. So basically you will be on the road all day.
You might consider a stop on your way in between.
As you were the person interested in Dresden (if I remember correctly), you might want to opt to take the ferry to Rostock and then proceed South and stop in Dresden. Driving time for this option should not exceed six hours.
Check out the ferries' homepages:
www.scandlines.de
www.tt-line.de
www.stenaline.de
All homepages are German but readily available in English- you will see small English flags or other icons to get a translation.
Have fun

Hi

probably the easiest route is to take the boat Goteborg - Kiel.
It takes 14 hrs and leaves at 19.00 year round.

Watch the islands, bite to eat, short session in the nightclub, good sleep, light breakfast and you'll be in good shape to drive to Munich.

I used to use this boat regularly. I think Frederikshafn to Munich is too far in one day. Rodby may be better , but not as easy as Kiel because of the extra driving.

You also need to think of the weather in late November. Snow is possible in Goteborg, so limit your Swedish driving ?

If you don't like ferries, you can take a very simple and fast route:
E20 from Goteborg via Malmö and Copenhagen to Kolding (interchange);
then E45 from Kolding via Hamburg, Hannover, Kassel and Nurnberg to Munich.
Autobahn all the way. Some impressive bridges and tunnels.

Although there are no speed limits on most of this route, I think you will need a whole day.
