Default How Many Miles on Car the Day of Pickup?

Hi All! Odd question that is just curiosity...how many miles were on your brand new car when you picked it up from the dealer? I've seen listings with miles as low as 2 and some over 15...
(this applies to customer spec allocations, not dealer specs that were sold off the lot)...what is typical?
If I could figure out how to make a poll I would...

I ordered my GT4. It had 8 mi on it when it arrived at the local dealership. And then once they did PDI prep and test, it had 10 miles once I took delivery.

I bought a '21 GRSpyder off the lot and when I picked it up much to my chagrin there was 40 miles on the digital counter. The advert listed 18 so I was unpleasantly surprised. Just a data point. I got a great deal and a no contact sale on a car I love so I'm not mad.... just disappointed :P

I wonder where the miles come from? The car rolls off the factory floor...onto a carrier that takes it to port....rolls onto the ship....rolls off the ship....usually rolls to a carrier that takes it to the dealer.....then the dealer does PDI, etc. Not to over-analyze, just curious how that turns into 10+ miles on the odometer in many cases...
input welcome!

I believe they run the engine at the factory on a dyno type machine with a rear wheel roller in the QC process.
