When should I put my new car through an automatic car wash?

Should I wait for a certain time after I have taken delivery of the car before I put it through an automatic car wash?

I would not use one at all unless it's mid-winter and the car is filthy and covered in sale, and you'd get frostbite if you attempted to clean it yourself.
