I should be picking up my car in the next 10 days or so. The dealer is about 20 minutes from my house so I've mapped out the most logical and expeditious route home after delivery. For reasons unknown, it turns out it's exactly 501 miles back to the house! I must be doing something wrong! Any who, l told my wife I would be gone about an hour, so I guess I'll have to revise that a bit, I'm sure she will understand! I'd appreciate any help with my mapping skills!
I think your mapping skills are admirable. I'm not familiar enough with Florida to know if any of your route is on Interstates, but if it is I would suggest rerouting to avoid them. interstates are just plain boring. State highways are much more interesting and provide natural break-in variety (various speeds, slow down/stop in towns, etc.).
We put 1500+ miles on ours heading home from our NCM delivery. Never on an Interstate. Lots of interesting good back roads (national and state highways).

See what routing options are selected. Do you have avoid toll roads selected?
I love it! I'm staying in Siesta Key till Feb 11th, if you want to stop by to show it off. My car is currently on the carrier in transit to the dealer so I have to wait even longer to get it now. Exciting times indeed!

I agree on the backroads route.
There’s nothing more boring on this earth than a Florida interstate. I’d head for A1A.
I'm in Tampa and might steal your route! I just need them to ship the car already.... built on 1/12, at 4000 status still.....
I suspect you will have yours very soon! Mine arrived this morning in the pouring down rain but it still looked amazing!! They are doing the PDI now and the dealer add-ons and should be ready to go tomorrow AM! You are going to be so happy!!
I agree with many members, stay off of interstates. During this 500 miles, stop and go traffic is perfect to break in the DTC. Also Interstates in FL are very sandy making front end and windshield chips happen. It may take a few hours more for the drive. You may find some new Mom and Pa eateries that you have never seen before. What every you end up doing, I hope you enjoy the ride and many more
assuming you are going thru Fort L on highway 1, watch for a farmers market on west side of street. Lady there selling Jerk Pork that is Great. That stretch on 1 will take hours by its self LOL We drove a lot of it a couple weeks back
Mapping trouble!
