Question:
How do car manufacturers get 0 mileage when the car travels from the factory to the showroom?

Obviously the main part is on a transporter but I'm talking about getting it on and off the transporter and into and out of the showroom

You will never buy a new car that has 0 miles on the odometer.



Ever...

They don't. As Nomadd says, they'll always have at least a portion of a mile and often a mile or two on them. They are driven off the line to a parking compound, from the compound onto a transporter and off the transporter into the garage. In addition those made abroad are driven from a compound onto the ship, off the ship to another pound, then to a transporter and so on.



No, the mileage is NOT adjusted.

No, genius they can't reset the mileage.

The odometers always have a mile or two on them. They drive them off the assembly lines to parking lots and to the transporters.

You wouldn't want a vehicle that hasn't even been test driven, would you?

They don't. A new car usually has a few miles on it by the time it gets to the showroom.

All new cars have a few miles on at least, all new cars have to do a quick test run before transported

They use transport lorry to get to showroom and then then drive car into show room. When the car travels a mike it will say 1 mile on the meter. It's not a mile from the lorry to the showroom, more like 100meters.

Then they can reset the meter to Zero

They don't drive it they use some other sort of transporter to put it there.
