So you're driving 3 hours for a test drive. Then you order a different made for you car online. They ship one to a nearer service center, you inspect it - in your case it just happens to be a smudge that the service center can fix without parts. If not then you're either stuck driving a car that needs fixing or reject delivery (not sure if that's possible) and wait another 3 months. Contrast that with normal day GM/Toyota/Honda car dealership - you walk in after maybe a 20 min drive, you inspect and test drive any car on the lot and buy the one you like the most. End of story. If the one color you like had QA issues the dealer can't fix in short time you can go to another dealer nearby. In fact that's exactly what I did recently during shortage - was still able to buy a car I like that I could inspect in a day's time.
