What? LOL You would prefer to coordinate to have someone drive you over and then drive it back home for the pleasure of...watching the miles roll over in traffic?
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.
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?
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?
They get delivered to the dealership, not your house?
I've never heard of this.
Yes, that was my point. 🤷♂️
I really don't know how to be more clear about this without just repeating things I've already said.
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.
I'm pretty sure Tesla has offered delivery to a home pretty much from the very beginning. I remember they had some money back guarantee when they announced it because obviously you can't test drive if you don't go to a dealership.
You may recall Tesla started out with basically no dealerships, and this was one of the first options for getting one outside of major city centers.

Please. There's no need to continue repeating yourself. I read it the first time. You should give it a try.
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.
Apparently you don't. Because you are the one confused about how one can get a car delivered to their home instead of going to the dealership.
