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

  What? LOL Do you derive some sort of satisfaction from sitting in the driver’s seat in traffic and watching the miles rack up?

    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?

      • scytale@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        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.

    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”.

  It’s not happening.

  Yeah, no.

  That would be true if any of this self driving shit actually existed, but it doesn’t. Elmo lies. A lot. About everything. So this? He’s just lying again .

    It does, and I’ve heard its safer than humans in some cases, but there’s legal issues in the way. Like if a driverless car kills someone, who’s fault is it?

      Where do you get any of that?

      No, Elmo cara do not drive themselves. On the 5 steps to full self driving, Teslas barely make it to step 2. Full self driving doesn’t exist yet for any brand but most definitely not for Tesla

  Imagine it gets into an accident lol

    Tesla “FSD” switches off seconds before an accident, so this will be interesting.

    Surely it would be Tesla since you don’t actually have possession of it, right? Right??

    “we planned for this edge case, and have programmed the vehicle to quickly leave the scene of any accident where a driver is not present. by accepting delivery (by purchasing a vehicle) you accept that all vehicles are sold as-is. tesla insurance customers get half-off repair claim deductibles for the first 7 days.”

  If it waives the destination fee, then I don’t see it as a bad problem depending on how much it would normally cost to deliver vs how many miles.

  source

  • WetBeardHairs@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    It doesnt waive that fee because it is a federally required fee to be applied to all vehicles regardless of their… destination. Uhg.

    Dealers: charge bullshit fee

    Mftr: “get rid of this bullshit fee by racking up miles right from the factory”

    Customer: “this is such a phenomenal deal!”

    • sorghum@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      bullshit fee

      Do you think shipping and transportation of goods is free? Do you think truck drivers drive stuff around out of the goodness of their hearts?

      source

      • wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Nope, but it also isn’t my problem. Roll it into the price of the car, like everything else, and it can be part of the price that you can discuss and haggle over. Coming to a 50k price just to see another 1k+ this and 1.5k that tacked on is absolute bullshit.

      Eh, I live <1k miles from a Tesla factory, and I wouldn’t be too annoyed at having 1k miles on it when it gets to me. Knock the price down a bit since you no longer need to ship it everywhere and we’re good.

        I’d want whatever the warranty was to be the same plus the miles.

        So if it’s 5 year 50k miles and I get it at 1k, I 'd want 5 year 51k miles.
