Comment on Elon Musk: your new Tesla will drive from the factory floor, to your house 'this year'

  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.

      The same trucks that tow cars can tow new ones to you.

      It’s not a difficult concept.

        I’m fully aware that tow trucks exist. It’s not a difficult concept, which is exactly why it’s surprising that you seem to be so confused.

  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.

    I’ve never heard of this.

    Yes, that was my point. 🤷‍♂️

      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.
