I’m so sure that this will happen…
Aka they save on delivery costs and your new car racks up miles on your own dime.

Imagine it gets into an accident lol

“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.”
SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 1 day ago
Tesla “FSD” switches off seconds before an accident, so this will be interesting.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Surely it would be Tesla since you don’t actually have possession of it, right? Right??
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
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 .
untakenusername@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
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?
riodoro1@lemmy.world 1 day ago
It’s not happening.
sorghum@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
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.
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 1 day ago
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!”
WetBeardHairs@lemmy.world 1 day ago
It doesnt waive that fee because it is a federally required fee to be applied to all vehicles regardless of their… destination. Uhg.
Ulrich@feddit.org 1 day ago
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?
moncharleskey@lemmy.zip 1 day ago
Ever used your eyes while driving? You’ve probably seen those car transport semis loaded up with new vehicles, transporting them to dealerships.

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?

It’s irrelevant because I’m never buying anything that piece of shit touches.

And also, who doesn’t want hundreds to thousand of miles put against your warranty.
NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 1 day ago
Assuming there is any reality to this (big assumption), I assume you are looking at the distance to the nearest distribution center (so Tesla “Not a dealership for legal reasons”). So a lot closer to hundred than not.
Mostly because Factory->House requires a lot of automated charging technology. Whereas Factory->Truck->Dealership->House still lets them take advantage of scale (a truck truck) and can go on a single battery charge.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Yeah, I live like 10 miles from a Tesla dealership, about 1k from a Tesla factory. If having the car drive to me is cheaper than loading it on a truck and taking it to my local dealership, I’m fine with it having 1k miles.
huquad@lemmy.ml 1 day ago
The shortest distance between Tesla and your house is a full circle around the country.
50MYT@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Also at the odometer rate of Tesla Miles, where the warranty runs out faster.
Jaysyn@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Yet another lie.

BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Tesla lost 6% of its value today so I’m sure Elmo felt compelled to find something to pull out of his ass.

… Even assuming the self driving tech was actually capable of doing this, which is won’t be…
How would this even make any sense?
Ok, if you live within about 200 to 300 miles of a Tesla factory, … you have this option?
Fremont, California; Sparks, Nevada; Austin, Texas; Buffalo, New York; Lathrop, California.
Outside of 250 miles ish of one of those places? No self driving delivery for you.
… And I am pretty not all models are made at all those locations.
Despite long ago claiming his EVs and charger network would be capable of automatically recharging or battery swapping themselves… to make a long distance journey… that … doesn’t exist, he abandoned all of that.
Even funnier: Imagine a tesla self driving from the as of yet to be completed gigafactory in Monterrey Mexico… through the border checkpoint.
The auto charger network doesn’t exist, the car would murder people, cause an accident or fucking explode in the border queue… and even if none of that happened… how in the fuck is a self driving car gonna get through a militarized border crossing?
If he just gives himself a waiver via DOGE for his cars… congrats Elon, you are now a drug trafficker / arms smuggler, whether you know it or not.
… fucking lunacy.
_stranger_@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
He’ll have a single car delivered this way, and there will be a Tesla robot in the driver’s seat being puppeted by someone in the back seat of a Tahoe driving behind the car (they couldn’t do actual remote because starlink doesn’t cover the delivery area).
They’ll then awkwardly film the whole thing, interview the overenthusiastic stooge they hired to “buy” the car, and fly the mission accomplished banner.

Anytime Elon says anything about Tesla with a timeframe, you can guaran damn tee that it will not happen within that time frame.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
If you double it, you might actually be somewhat close to hearing a believable date for the actual time frame.

To put it more sussinctly:

… from the Tesla factory floor, through the ditches, crash through several loony tunes landscapes, over your neighbors’ dogs, cats, pet turtles, children, and finally park inside of your house after crashing through your living room wall to add an additional car port you didn’t know you needed! Here at Tesla, we insist cameras are superior in every way possible to LIDAR. Quality is significantly improved on object detection when paired with 3M MAXIMUM EXTREME Quality Blue Tape+ for a premium cost. Every new purchase comes with a free, permanently center dash mounted Hitl -I mean- Elon bobble head performing the awkward “throwing much love” gesture. 3M Blue tape non transferable upon sale of the vehicle. Tesla retains the rights to not be held responsible for any damages resulting in your choice of using personalized automated delivery. Void where prohibited, which is nowhere. CALL NOW!

Do most people still believe him about, anything really?
untakenusername@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
I used to about some things, like when he talked about the how the spaceX rockets worked, but then he went insane. And now I’ve heard there’s a pretty good chance that starship isn’t gunna archive much at all, because its too heavy from the stainless steel they used to make it.
primemagnus@lemmy.ca 19 hours ago
He just parrots bits and pieces of things other people have explained to him. His entire life is a lie thru and thru. I mean Tesla makes 99.9% of its profits from reselling carbon credits. He built a car company that can’t even make money from its cars.
He as fired from PayPal after 6 months with prejudice. His entire code needed to be gutted and essentially rewritten it was so bad.
He said there would be people living on Mars and built spaceships to get them there and in the 10 years since then, all they do is blow up.
He planned to build tunnels that would only let Teslas drive around lol.
He is poking electrodes in chimps claiming you will get superhuman powers and implanted people with the chips all of which showed the revolutionary skill of eye tracking, something Apple software has been able to do since 2021/22.
His starlinks are used mostly for political espionage and control by the rich oligarchs or oppressors.
He called a diver a pedo letting loose a legion of his sycophants because he criticized his insane idea to build a sub for a cave that could barely fit a person in choke points. In an other country. Where no one had asked him for help.
He faked being really good at a video game for internet points. Then people found out and laughed at him.
He did a Nazi salute.
I don’t know man. I can’t see anywhere at any time a smart person. All I see a little troll that conned the lot of you because most people know nothing about anything so stringing together some jargon seems legit.

Tesla will begin its roll out of its self-driving Robotaxi fleet in multiple US cities in the months to come, already taking appropriate regulatory steps in both California and Texas.
