Carvana delivers to your door, but that's used cars. Some traditional new car dealers will also deliver to your door on request (FatherInLawBuzzard was a car salesman for 30 years, and I went on a couple of drop offs with him).

My question on this is how sustainable is Tesla's repair model, if what you say is an example? What happens once the car is out of warranty? I'd burn through the limited bumper to bumper (4 years/50,000 miles) in less than 2 years. The drivetrain is a little better at 8 years and "infinite" miles for an new one. That might make it worth the cost.

The B2B warranty shows what little faith Tesla has in their coachwork though. I was actually expecting it to be higher just because that seems to be the way they work.
