High-end luxury car dealerships frequently offer loaner cars, often times nicer than the car that needed servicing, and some of them definitely do pick-ups.
It makes people buy new cars. Exact thing just happened to my boss. Chucked in his workhorse of 13 years to buy the new model he got loaned.
A bit OT financial advice: it's almost never worth it to buy a single share. The reason is the commission will eat you up. Assume a low $7/trade commission. That could possibly cost you $14 round trip (purchase/exit). With Tesla ~$100/share, It'll have to go up 14% just to break even on the trade. Even if you just buy in single shares but exit in multiple shares to spread the commission, you still have to fade 7% com…

(Assuming this was meant as a reply to my comment) - I do understand that, I pretty much just bought a single share to say I had one, and see how it would perform, more as an experiment and out of curiosity than an actual business interest.
> I pretty much just bought a single share to say I had one This I can understand. It's nice psychologically to be an owner of something. > and see how it would perform But this you can do without buying :)
The Model S does not need to be brought to our service center by the owner. Tesla will pick up the car at a location of the owner’s convenience, provide a Model S loaner if needed, perform the work and bring the car back to the owner a few hours later. Does anybody else offer service like this?
1) Innovators/Early Adopters (their goodwill, word of mouth etc. is highly desired as is the feedback you can get)
2) High end stuff that is bought because it is high end (some level of service similar to this is standard for Porsche etc...also a good chance to sell you a new car :P)
3) Equipment that professionals use, it's basically an implicit insurance policy (cameras, lab equipment)

Presumably the advice should be "it's never worth it to only buy a few hundred dollars worth of shares", since buying a single share worth $10,000/share is a decent deal (with respect to the commission, at least).

Very impressive service for what sounds like a blown weld. I wonder if this will result in a robot getting reprogrammed or welder getting retrained (or fired).

IIyama, twice I've had an IIyama screen die on me, once within warranty (due to the high volume of electric devices dying I installed a surge protector, since then no problems) and once outside of warranty. Both times they send a courier service to pick up the screen at my house and deliver me a replacement one at no charge.
Logitech will also do that, had a mouse die, call them: > Yeah so my mouse doesn't work anymore, it's a >> Ok do you have a serial number? > Sure it's >> Could I have your address to send a replacement? > >> OK thanks a lot, we'll get the new one send right away > How do I send the old one back? >> It's broken yeah? > Yeah >> Then you just throw it out or whatever, try to repair it if you enjoy that No charge, no fus…
I bought my first ever share - a single share in Tesla - two weeks ago. I saw the headline and my heart sank. But if you have to deliver bad news, that is how you do it - proactively and efficiently. It answers every question a Model S owner will have whilst providing solutions to every problem. Brilliant.
You should consider getting out of the stock market until you have better nerves, or you're gonna have a bad time.
