Sweet. Great job on the forced perspective.

My red was supposed to deliver today but I forget to put in my work address as the "ship to" last week. Switched it Monday and that somehow added a day to the schedule. You wouldn't think a few blocks would make a difference...

Sigh. Order placed. You got me again, Tesla. I plan to keep it on my desk at work so they will have one more thing to make fun of me about. They seem to think I'm obsessed...

They seem to think I'm obsessed...

I get that, too :smile:

Maybe we should ask Elon to extend the referral program to the diecast models... Would love to get a free Model X model!

I still don't like the fact that the chrome trim doesn't align properly. See the rear passenger door in the above photo, for example. I can't spend $200 on a model if there is such an obvious flaw.

The chrome trim isn't aligned properly on my real MS so as far as I'm concerned the die cast model is spot on.

If you got one of the first 1000, it has an A battery. Check the sticker.

And just to make the purchasing experience exactly like for the actual car, the smaller one gets hit with duty when brought into Canada. Had to pay another $18.00 when it arrived.

Hopefully everyone is protecting the paint when not gazing at it, or has a good paint protection film applied ...

Yeah. Mine's in for paint correction and Opticoat.

I wonder how much an XPEL installer would charge to wrap this car.

Bless your heart.

PSA Note to Owners:

The frunk cargo net will pop off if a little girl sticks her finger in there and gives it a yank. Repair will require very small needle nose pliers, jewelers screwdriver and extreme patience (which, as a parent, you already possess.)

The bottom of the cargo net has two longer & very thin prongs sticking straight down - that's the easy part. The top is held in place by two shorter thin prongs sticking toward the side and in slightly. They are a bit more challenging to seat. It might take you a long time fiddling with it. You'll be tempted to look for superglue but just stick with it.

For the record, nothing beats having a daughter. Absolutely the greatest. Daddy's toy car will be moving to the office Monday. Matchbox on order for home use.

During breakfast Princess asked if Daddy's Tesla could come home from the office for the weekend. When I got home home she asked if she could please play with it ("I'll be careful. I won't break anything and I'll clean when I'm done.")

Then she filled it with 7 teeny tiny figurines from one of her toy sets and "drove the family" all over our loft apartment. For like two hours. Then she took the microfiber cloth out of my eyeglass case and wiped all the fingerprints off. For like 10 minutes, looking at it from every angle. Future 2038 Model Y owner there. Daughters are the best.

That's fantastic!

I just got mine - looks perfect! I'm going take a picture of it using false perspective and will announce that I'm now a two-Tesla household. That will be sure to bring on parental ire, as they hate it when I spend money on anything. And I'm 46. It never ends with parents. It'll be a fun joke...

... Daughters are the best.

Yes, indeed. especially when we train them to have such excellent taste...but then we must pay for that excellent taste.

I still have not done mine. I'll have to call Pete and see how much he'll charge me for the Gtechniq Crystal Serum, the 3m and the bra too. I wonder if it will be 1/18 what he charged for my P85D? It is the same color, after all.
