And also, who doesn't want hundreds to thousand of miles put against your warranty.
Assuming there is any reality to this (big assumption), I assume you are looking at the distance to the nearest distribution center (so Tesla "Not a dealership for legal reasons"). So a lot closer to hundred than not.
Mostly because Factory->House requires a lot of automated charging technology. Whereas Factory->Truck->Dealership->House still lets them take advantage of scale (a truck truck) and can go on a single battery charge.
Yeah, I live like 10 miles from a Tesla dealership, about 1k from a Tesla factory. If having the car drive to me is cheaper than loading it on a truck and taking it to my local dealership, I'm fine with it having 1k miles.
This is all hypothetical though. There's no way this timeframe is happening.
The shortest distance between Tesla and your house is a full circle around the country.
Also at the odometer rate of Tesla Miles, where the warranty runs out faster.
