Could this be a new record? The dealer was rather vague: “It’s probably just some random additional testing done at the factory.” Should I escalate this?

I would definitely ask the dealer for a better reason...that's almost 400 miles.

There is no testing done at the factory on a customer's new car that encompasses 400 miles.

Its only 570 miles from Emden to Switzerland...did the transporter breakdown in route?

That’s the fuel range, the odometer reads 152 kms/95 miles.
New car ordered, not in stock.

Umm…not sure what metric system you’re referencing but 152km is about 95 miles. Still lots of mileage for a new delivery vehicle but…

My bad....it's been a long day...sorry.

Yeah, even at 100 miles that sounds like a high number for a newly delivered car.

It’s an opportunity, get the dealer to punch the warranty, wait a week and sell it to you CPO with an extra 2 years of warranty (at a discount?}.

I requested and obtained a DME report before delivery. It shows 0 over-revs and 35 hours of use for 153 km, which suggests an extremely low average speed, more consistent with factory testing than road test drives. I think everything is fine.
