Probably something like "How the hell are we going to compete with a company with such devoted fans of their brand?"
Seriously, can you even image someone buying a new Ford, then wanting to donate their time on a weekend at the Ford dealership?

I just came from Westmont Il service center.
I was told that Saturday would be a great day for me to come help as they have over 100 cars scheduled to deliver that day.
They are preparing for a mad house.
They only have 4 delivery spots. I don't know how they are going to do it, however if I can help.....then I will.

Probably "I wonder if this violates labor laws, and if not, we should sucker people into working for free for us too"
That's what saleman is before you sign above the dotted line.
Probably sticking their fingers in their ears and loudly yelling "la la la I can't hear you".
But remember folks, don't pay attention to Ford ending car production altogether, it's Tesla that will be out of business soon.
I would love to go in and help out, but I'm married with two kids. Weekends and evenings are not free time for me. 
I’ll hopefully see you there at 12:30 to pick up my AWD. Thanks for helping us get our cars!

I would love to help out too but it's not realistic with family obligations on the weekend. But if they started up some kind of phone/text/email "big sib" kind of thing I'd be happy to acquaint new owners.

Technically Tesla cannot accept volunteer help. As a for profit company, they have to pay for time worked.
Yeah when I took delivery, there was a Performance Model 3 in front of me and that guy was going over his car with a fine toothed comb, which is fine but when my delivery appointment was already 45 min late, I found myself wishing for twice the delivery bays.
My delivery advisor at the Fremont center said that on a Saturday they will deliver anywhere from 350-400 cars. Insane. 100 cars in a weekday.

That kinda makes sense, but what could actually happen if they do this? One of the people tries to sue for pay and everyone just laughs?
At no time was anyone required, or even asked, to assist with these deliveries so i'm not sure what could come of this. There's no way a lawsuit would win, because if it did you'd suddenly see people start showing up to random businesses and start 'working', even though no one asked or agreed to pay them, and demand something in exchange.

Well then I won't do any "work".
I will just hang around helping my new EV family understand all of the features of my P3D+ and answer any questions they might have about their pre-delivery car....even to the point of getting in their car with them - and showing them what Tesla might show them during their delivery time.
Then if they want to go and sign some papers with Tesla for some random reason....then that's their prerogative.
Then... Ill ..rinse.....and repeat.....
(hmm I wonder what the anti-work police will look like)

Garlan:
make sure you get a 'free' SW update while you are there.
SW update? you lost me
I sprained my ankle while volunteering and helping people learn about their new model 3 this weekend. I've decided to unionize due to dangerous work conditions and lack of overtime pay.

If you sprained your right ankle....then at least you have EAP/FSD to help you get to where you need to go.
I'm still waiting for AP2 ankle sprain technology to be on par with AP1 tech
