Are scale models still being given at delivery? :)

[azred]

Ok, let’s see if I can stop this thread.

If you bought a Model 3 — not an X or S — and you haven’t received your model yet, go to your delivery center — or call them — and tell them you didn’t receive it yet. Ask them when you can expect it and how it will be delivered. You're welcome.

PS There is nothing special about the model.

lol, like I say... they're special to me.

Did they ever make any in a color other than red? I recall someone once saying they would be color matched to the car, but I am only hearing about red ones now.

We got one on 4/17.

Not to worry. Available on Amazon.

lol, and that would actually be the one which accompanied the launch event (can be had for a little less on eBay).

The one being provided at delivery is actually 1:43 scale.

If it was $1,199.99, that's one thing, but I have Prime, I'm not spending $4.49 for shipping!

Launch toy (left) vs line-waiter toy (right):

The new one is better because the case is big enough for the mirrors to extend out now !

We were at the Fremont delivery room for 2 hrs, we saw many people picking up model3 also. They didn't get any scale model.

They are normally hidden in the glove compartment and are for day 1 peeps only.

Mine was in the center console under the armrest.

I think it's a stock thing. When I took delivery on April 21, it was there waiting for me when I got in to drive away.

 

[Daniellane]

Mine was in the center console under the armrest.

Ours too. Found it later that day. Pleasant surprise.

Red scale model was in the console when I picked up my car at the Marina Del Rey delivery center yesterday (May 5).

Ditto

No day 2? Is the cutoff published somewhere or this is a guesswork?

Also, is the model multi-coat and anybody noticed paint chips?

 

[dunster]

They handed me one in Dedham Mass today when I picked up my Model 3. The model is red (my car is blue) but it's still neat.

I got a red one today when I picked up my M3. It was hidden in the center console. Found it tonight when I was just sitting in my car in the garage! I reserved it in Feb, 2018, so definitely not a day one line waiter gift.

To date myself I remember auto dealers giving away plastic models of cars when you went on a test drive in the early 1960's.

One thing that's weird is there are no scale models of any Tesla cars. I never built car models, but would like to make the Tesla family. Nothing exists. I don't know if Tesla is being boycotted by the model makers (who do have licensing arrangements with car companies to make car models) or if Tesla is declining offers to produce plastic kit of their cars.

Where are these delivery centers that are hiding them in the frunk, center console, glove box, etc? In San Diego, they were sitting and waiting for us on the tables where the paperwork was finalized, so you knew you were supposed to get one. If they are hidden out of view to be found later, I'm sure a lot of people who never realized they were supposed to get one.
