Thoughts on Home Delivery vs Pickup

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
We have a second M3 on order. The nearest Tesla delivery center is four hours away (8 hours roundtrip). If I have a choice, I'll probably choose home delivery. Here's my thinking:

If there is no issue on inspection:

Delivery center: Total driving: 12 hours (one car there, two cars home).
Home: Total driving: 0 hours.

If there is an issue that they can fix immediately:

Delivery center: Total driving: 12 hours
Home: Total driving 8 hours.

If there's an issue that can't be fixed immediately:

Delivery center: Total driving: 16 hours
Home: Total driving: 8 hours.

Is my reasoning sound?
 
Are you required to accept the car no matter what if it’s delivered to your home?

I‘m anal and don’t want anyone else driving my car, so I chose pickup. But if you’re ok with that it sounds like home delivery is the way to go for you. Enjoy! I picked my car up about 3 weeks ago and love it!
