I then talked to my sales rep who wanted me driving the car even more than that.
Since I am away and everyone makes it seem as it is some catastrophe, I am hoping to get some sensible recommendations from this forum.
How much does my car need to be driven per month? I was also told stop and go driving won't cut it -- is this true as well?
Thank you.

I think it will be fine parked in your home garage. Just put a battery tender charger on it, and take it for drives when you are home (use a whole tank so you get fresh fuel). Not sure I would trust any friend to not get carried away driving it. Oil does need to be changed once a year regardless. Fuel stabilizer is an absolute must.
