I am assuming you mean the National Corvette Museum (NCM). Someone that has selected that option for delivery should be able to assist you with your questions.

Yes that is correct-looking for key questions that should be asked. TX

Do you mean what questions to ask AT delivery about the car, or BEFORE delivery about the actual museum tour/pickup?

No matter what you ask, there will be things you learn over the couple of months following the delivery. The folks there that help with your delivery are very good at explaining the different functions of the car, however, you'll likely forget some of them. I found that It took me awhile to fully understand the 'Great Wall' of the heating and cooling switches.

Usually, it was the tech questions about apps, Android Auto, and the connected services, etc.
. Break in rituals and limits.
Getting the setting right for me.
Of course, I would usually forget most of what was said.
My mind was always on getting out and driving....lol.
BTW, I've done R8C 4 times. This year will be my fifth.

Don’t need to ask. They go through everything and then some. By any chance they miss something you can find it in the owners manual. You can always find out on the forum

Agree with the above. They'll tell you the main stuff, and you'll be able to ask anything you're unsure of during the walkthrough. The rest you can find easily here or elsewhere on the internet.

The delivery host is very knowledgeable and will take as much time as needed to explain anything you may need additional time on when they are demonstrating features of the car. They will point out everything and more about your car and make sure you are happy with the car's settings when you drive away from the museum. Have fun!

When you are at the NCM be sure to look over the car VERY carefully to make sure the PDi was completed correctly. In my case the tire pressures were off by quite a bit. The host said the system hadn't picked up on the updated pressures--he was wrong and we drove about 2800 miles to get home before I could confirm and correct them. Also the windshield on the inside still had a bit of haze on it and finally, I discovered a scuff mark on the door leather.

You will learn a lot about the car here and in the owner's manual too.

Aside from these items, we had a good drive home.

Did they give you an SD card at the NCM or did you have to bring one?
