Mileage at Delivery

Just curious as to what was everyone's mileage at delivery to see if I should overreact?

Not sure. My car was a launch demo, so it had been on at least a couple demo rides. Now it has 13,604 miles on it.

, mine will also have high mileage when/if the world opens given the daily commute. I was just expecting an under 10 mileage for a brand new car.

Yes. Understood. That’s my expectation as well, but not always my experience.

But... since this is electric, there’s no break-in period. So there’s that upside.

What mileage did yours have? Mine had 10 which is about the bare minimum, I think.

36, yes can understand 10, but thank you all for putting things into perspective for me.

Yours was definitely test driven. Was it an ordered car? If so, I'd be furious.

Ordered car with deposit paid several months ago.

FWIW, mine had 11 miles as soon as it was off the transporter (I got so drive it before it was even unwrapped; still in transport mode, limited to 22 mph with blocks in the suspension). I think the 20 miles put in it after that point were driving it back and forth to the detail shop. That’s what my SA said and I didn’t even ask. They may have taken the long route...I certainly would have...

Highly unlikely an ordered car was test driven after the dealer gets it. But these cars come from a long way away, so it's hard to say how much it was moved around prior to getting on and off a boat.

Certainly not much of a break-in, but the manual prints otherwise:
"In a new vehicle, the moving parts first have to be
broken in with each other. The first 3,000 km (1,865
miles) are required for this. The oil and fuel consumption
may be somewhat higher than the specified
values during this time.

Drive as follows during the breaking-in period:

• Preferably take longer trips.
• Do not participate in motor racing events, sports driving schools, or similar."

Like the part about fuel consumption!
However, the brakes, transmission, differentials, and wheel bearings do break in, just not as difficult as piston rings!

The vehicle originally had 8 miles at the dealership but ended up being recorded as 111 miles on the purchase contract (vehicle was home-delivered).

Very Right.

I quickly looked through “Good to Know” but didn’t find anything.

I took delivery in Maine, in December. It was snowing. So I was being gentle anyway.

If I had read that, I probably would have stopped reading when they discussed fuel consumption. Though, I did “take longer trips”.

Mine was delivered yesterday and it had 34km's on it

Mine was delivered this past Tuesday with 10 miles on it.
