How many Guests can you take to a Delivery ?

[pacman65]

This maybe a strange question, but how many "guests" ( people not registered as car owners) are going to the Deliveries ?

As it happens my wife can't some to my delivery, and when I mentioned it at work 2 EV owners immediately asked if they could come instead.

I'd imagine many families will take 2 or 3 children, I'm sure 2 fairly well behaved engineers will be OK.
Is anyone planning or avoiding going with an extended fan club ?

Should be fine, i took 1 person with me but there were others there with groups of 3-4. They did not ask who they were so don't worry.

 

[AlternateFlux]

Yep, what Davidmc says...

Precisely what happened with me.
I was on my own (I know!) But the guy next to me had has three kids with him and that seemed fine.

They were the most excited family I've ever seen! It was lovely

Take the whole band, the more the merrier. Ask them to help you check the delivery check list.

The handover is quite manic...and there isn't a lot of room to wait (especially if they are running behind). I would take max 1 or two.... Although... handy to have more people to check the car over!

Yes, the more the merrier. My wife came, and a friend drove us there, so I divvied up the checking between us - I did the interior, doors, boot and frunk, while the others crawled all over the bodywork looking for panel gaps and paint defects.

They seem very flexible at the delivery centre. There were groups of three and four people there. One guy came on his (rather expensive looking) bike, and they popped it into one of the unused offices so it was safe while he had his handover. He put it into the M3 boot to take it home

They have free coffee & Tea too! (And grab a few little Tesla Coffee cups - @DaveW pointed that one out to me )

As everyone above says, take who you want with you. Also the more people you have the easier the checklist can be checked through.

Also as its your car i guarantee you will be on cloud 9 and those extra eyes do help a lot in checking

if (number of guests > number of seats -1) then
bus tickets = (number of guests - number of seats) # +disappointed guests with bus tickets
end if

And an endless supply of little choccie bars (DAAAMN that diet...)

Error in your code
bus tickets = (number of guests - number of seats - 1)

I went with my wife and two sons (18 & 12). I never gave any thought to whether it was allowed or too many. The staff at the handover were all delightful and no one seemed to pay any attention to it. I say, as long as the people you bring are behaved and it is a sensible group, take whom you like.

Error in your code
bus tickets = (number of guests - number of seats - 1)

surely that is also wrong? should be:
bus tickets = (number of guests - ( number of seats - 1))

 

[pjuk]

bus tickets = (number of guests - number of seats - 1)

Good job I don’t code for Tesla.

 

[MrBadger]

And none take into account constraints like occupant/cargo weight limit.

4 , one to check each door panel

Makes no difference. Brackets establish which calculation to do first, but with only subtraction the results are the same.

Sorry, but wrong... The second (correct) version has a double subtraction which has the same effect as an addition.

You sure that you and @pjuk don't code the Tesla car allocation system...? ;-)

 

[NorfolkMustard]

Show your workings, assuming

guests = 7
seats = 5

Uh, sure... Which language?
