I’m so sure that this will happen…

    your new car racks up miles on your own dime before you even get to drive it.

    What? LOL You would prefer to coordinate to have someone drive you over and then drive it back home for the pleasure of…watching the miles roll over in traffic?

      Ever used your eyes while driving? You’ve probably seen those car transport semis loaded up with new vehicles, transporting them to dealerships.

        I see where the confusion from. The OP says “from the factory floor”, but that was never said.

        In a new post on X by the official Tesla account, it posted “One day it’ll drive itself right to your house” to which CEO Elon Musk replied with a simple “this year”.

      Have you never had something delivered to you before? Does the amazon driver pick you up and take you to the warehouse so you can personally pick up your package?

        I don’t even understand what you’re trying to say. Are you under the impression that Tesla operates a concierge service that picks you up from your home?

          No. What I’m saying is you can have the car delivered to you without it racking up miles by carrying it on a semi. Having it drive itself to you starts depreciation before you even get to ride in it, not to mention the warranty limits based on mileage. What you said in your original comment about expecting to be picked up so you can drive it back home is ridiculous, that’s why I responded with an equally ridiculous scenario.

            Okay so the car driving itself to you is ridiculous. Having someone drop you off to pick up the vehicle is ridiculous. How does the car get to your house without being ridiculous, exactly?

              By being delivered on a truck? Not sure if this is a regional thing if you’re not in the US, but it’s not unusual to get a car delivered to your house on a flatbed truck or semi in the US. How do you think cars get transported around the country?

                They get delivered to the dealership, not your house?

                  You can absolutely get a new car delivered to your house even if you buy from a dealership. Either way, the topic of discussion in this thread is having the car drive itself to your house, not to the dealership for you to pick it up.

                    I’ve never heard of this.

                    Yes, that was my point. 🤷‍♂️
