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”.

        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?

            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?

                    You can absolutely get a new car delivered to your house

                    I’ve never heard of this.

                    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.

                    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.
