Well they should! Jk. My thought was the only time they need to be driven is on and off the various transports (e.g., trucks, ships, containers) that haul them across the globe. I wouldn't think that adds up to a whole lot--may a quarter mile in the aggregate. Based on other posters, it looks like the main culprit is testing. |
Testing, moving on/off the modes of transport to and from the ports, trip to the gas station by the dealership to fill up the tank, and any other misc. movements can all add up. Given so many cars sitting at the ports for the stop sales I'd also wager that some of these are getting out at the far reaches of the port storage areas since they need to pack them in due to several weeks wait to clear them. I'd say anything over 20 would be excessive for a brand new, just rolled off the truck, vehicle.
