My R1S will be delivered to my home in about an hour. I tip everyone who delivers stuff to the house…big or small…but I’ve never had a car delivered. What do people do? Any guidance is much appreciated

Pretty sure Ann Landers said you should tip the car delivery person a car of equal value.

When you take delivery at the factory, there's a mandatory $1800 tip.

I know that didn't help, but I couldn't resist.

Ha! Perfect…20% right? And those funds get split between the wait staff ( delivery guy ) and the chefs ( factory workers )…I’ll run to the atm and get unmarked bills

I always offer at least a bottle of water.

I don't think they're allowed to accept anything of meaningful value.

If they ever do decide to delivery my R1S (October 2020 order) I will gladly tip the deliver person something ! It is not unusual for me to give a small cash tip to some delivery guys because this trip is quite aways away from anything.

Nothing special, at least to me, and nothing they cannot fix after since you are in Chicago.

And congratulations!!!

When I got my R1T, I insisted on tipping my delivery driver given the 130 mile trek (3 hr drive) for home delivery. For folks that live an hour+ from a service center and got home delivery, I think the delivery folks would appreciate it

I think you should think about not tipping someone in booze who's responsible for driving a vehicle. I learned this lesson the hard way when I tipped somebody with a 12 pack and things didn't go so well. It opened me up to a lot of headaches.

We told our delivery driver that we were giving him money to buy himself a nice dinner on his 4 hour drive home. He was very appreciative.
