My last new car had 7 miles on it when I picked it up.They drive it around their little test thing in the factory at the very least.

My Roadster had 26 miles on it when I received it, and almost all of that happened in a single 24 hour period right after the car was assembled. They did half a dozen or so short drives, including one that peaked at 78 mph. So it looks like they gave the car a good test after assembling it.
They probably use statistical sampling on a high volume production line, so perhaps your car was never given more than basic function checks.
I believe that many car companies do this testing on a dyno and zero the milage when they are done.
That's if you consider your time (12 nights+) worth $0.This means that a charge of $2000 is, in fact, steep, given that I could pick up the car from the factory and take a road trip back for about the same amount, without scrimping.

If I'm very careful and start with a full range charge, I should be able to make it home in one go.
Thanks, GG! The to-be-opened Tesla Boston store will be the farthest North American store from Fremont (about 80 miles further than Dania Beach). I think that my drive from the factory to my summer home might be the longest of those tagged on my map of Model S reservation holders, were I to take factory delivery: 3,277 miles by the most direct route, but I'm sure I'd have a much longer drive to get around the EVSE wasteland of Nevada and the western Plains! That would be a fun odyssey if I had the time to burn.

Talks a little but about factory delivery
I don't really care for the personal (at-home) delivery mainly because it might seem rather ostentatious for the Tesla delivery truck to pull up...
Not at all. With the Roadster delivery, neighbors and friends came round to see what was happening and we started test rides up and down the street.
Hmm... good point. Gotta put on the EVangelist cap, I guess.
I understand the not wanting to showboat, but yea, in this case I'll be more than happy to tout EVs in general and Tesla in particular to anyone that sees the car arrive.Not at all.

Hi Lloyd - what tesla is doing is so interesting. I hope they succeed. Your idea is fascinating.
...It is a win win for everyone.
