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.
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.
I really don’t know how to be more clear about this without just repeating things I’ve already said.
you weren’t aware a car can be delivered straight to your house
I wasn’t “unaware” that it was possible, I’ve just never even heard of that happening. Every car I’ve ever bought and every car I’ve seen someone else buy had to be picked up from somewhere.
I don’t even see what point you’re trying to make. All I said in my first comment is that having the car drive itself from the factory to your house saves Tesla the hassle of delivering it to you, and it will put unnecessary miles and wear & tear on the car before you even get to drive it.
That was my first comment right? Now look at your reply to that. So I explained that a car can be delivered to your house on a flatbed truck where it won’t put on said unnecessary miles and wear & tear. No imaginary special concierge needed to pick you up and take you to a dealership to get your car. Do you agree? If yes, then I think the conversation has reached a conclusion.
I’m pretty sure Tesla has offered delivery to a home pretty much from the very beginning. I remember they had some money back guarantee when they announced it because obviously you can’t test drive if you don’t go to a dealership.
You may recall Tesla started out with basically no dealerships, and this was one of the first options for getting one outside of major city centers.

They get delivered to the dealership, not your house?

I’ve never heard of this.
Yes, that was my point. 🤷♂️

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.
