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.

Mftr: “get rid of this bullshit fee by racking up miles right from the factory”
Customer: “this is such a phenomenal deal!”

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.

I suppose that’s fair. But you’re unlikely to see much difference with 1k miles.

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?

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.

Except that not every place is next to the car factory. Delivery to Portland, Maine is going to be a much different price in comparison to Austin, Texas. Do you also expect the cost of titling and taxes be included in the advertised price? Do you know that those vary from location to location as well?

As a European, yes. Absolutely fucking yes. I drove a Model 3 away (a while ago obviously) with all papers in order paying exactly the listed price.

When did I say that every place was near an assembly line…? I said ‘not my problem’. It’s a company, they can figure it out.
And yes, yes I do. Again, not my problem. It’s almost like different locations can set different prices or something to compensate for variables. Amazing, what a concept!
