PS: Jack mode simply disables auto leveling if you have air suspension. Handy for car washing and changing tires

The OP is buying through a third party dealer, not Tesla. That dealer is unlikely to have access to that mode.

Always wondered what mode the cars were in on a transport/carrier/train. Interesting... I’d assume that also cuts off all radio transmission, myself.
It's possible the car is in a covered transport that is blocking gps reception but not data. Give your car the Tesla Delivery Checklist inspection at delivery to make sure all is fine and harass them often since they're so late, but don't panic.
No way! It was a helpful suggestion. I forwarded it to the dealer who asked Tesla if that was a possibility. The (filtered) response was that it was only possible in two scenarios:
1) The trucker is a skilled hacker (read: can follow a Youtube how-to) and put it into dev mode.
2) The previous owner had it in dev mode and the trucker inadvertently found transport mode and engaged it.
They couldn't confirm it, however, because in its current state they can only get limited information. So it wasn't ruled out!
They say I'll have to wait until it arrives and do a reset. Just really odd timing that something "so rare" happens just as its being picked up.
The good news is, the trucking company contacted me today saying they're on schedule and I should have it Friday! YAY!
Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more than YT haha. But yeah again, I forgot it was private party. Theres like, a 99.99999% chance its not in Transport mode
Yeah well, I was trying to appreciate your contribution anyway 
FYI, the car is still reporting its estimated range (which keeps declining) but it still isn't reporting its location. Instead of saying it is at the dealership, however, it now shows a black screen with "communication error" in small text at the bottom.
