50 miles odo normal?

[shawn_k]

Hi All,

I'm scheduled to pick up a Model 3 next week and I just received the final purchase agreement paperwork from Tesla. To my surprise, the ODO Mileage reading is listed as 50 miles. I assumed the mileage would be under 10 miles.

I called Tesla and was told that 50 miles is normal for a new car and that it's been built for my order and not a previous cancelation.

In your experience, what's the normal odometer reading for a new Tesla upon taking delivery?

Thanks in advance!
Shawn

It's normal. The purchase agreement for everyone says 50.

Your car will have a lot fewer miles than the standard 50 miles on the paperwork. Mine only had 3 miles.

It is normal....my also said 50 but when I picked it up, it only had 3.

When they do the paperwork, they do not know exactly how many miles will be on the car when the buyer accepts delivery, so everybody get a 50.

Thank you all for the clarification!

They just use 50 on all paperwork. Mine had 5 on idometer.

If they gave you a car that had more than the paperwork said, it would be illegal. Thus the 50. Mine had under 10, also.

Is this some sort of legal limit for new cars? boaterva wrote it would be illegal but I mean are all "new" cars required to have less than some number of miles when delivered?

My Sig S had 60 miles on the odo when it was delivered in 2012.

There is no limit to the number of miles on a "new" car, it just can't have more miles on the car than is reported on the paperwork.

In this case you get an extra ~40 miles of warranty.
