Comment on Elon Musk: your new Tesla will drive from the factory floor, to your house 'this year'
scytale@lemm.ee 2 days agoNo. 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.

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.

They get delivered to the dealership, not your house?

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.

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 you, not to the dealership for you to pick it up.
