I’m so sure that this will happen…

    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?

                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. 🤷‍♂️

                    I’ve never heard of this.

                    Now you have. You can even get a used car delivered to your house and have your old car taken away at the same time if you are trading it in.

                    Yes, that was my point

                    Ok? So what was the point of your first comment? Anyway, I think this conversation is going around in circles, and it seems like it was just because you weren’t aware a car can be delivered straight to your house, instead of having it drive by itself and rack up miles and wear and tear before you even get to ride in it.

                Tell me you’ve never had to have your broken car towed to your home because you couldn’t afford a mechanic.

                People have cars hauled to their home all the time on a flatbed tow truck.

                Those cars do not rack up mileage while on said flatbed truck.

                  Brother we are not talking about a broken car that you pay someone to tow, we are talking about a new car delivery.
