I spoke with my delivery adviser today (out of Calgary, AB for those who are wondering) and they asked me whether I'd prefer home delivery of my Model 3. We currently own a Volt and I've accumulated a couple of weeks in the Model S on Turo and in 2 weeks I've got a 4 day rental of the Model 3 on Turo. I'm one of those guys that actually reads the manual and is also really good at figuring things out on my own. With all that, I'm pretty confident that I'll have no issues with figuring out the TM3.
To pick up the car at the nearest delivery centre would be a 2.5 hr drive each way. My wife and I would both have to take the day off work, and work is overwhelmingly busy right now - I'm not quite sleeping on the roof yet, but sometimes feel I should. I'm leaning toward home delivery (seriously, a delivery truck shows up with your new car at work/home and drops it off for you - how cool is that?!!!), but am wondering what I'll be missing. Off the top of my head:

Off the top of my head:
- Someone else to teach my wife some of the more unusual/interesting features of the car (sometimes it's just better that way ).
- If there are defects on pickup I can point them out to the delivery specialist, with home delivery I've just got a driver rather than a delivery specialist. I'm thinking any problems would be under warranty so shouldn't really be an issue anyway. Right?
- Hanging out with/meeting other new TM3 owners!
