Are scale models still being given at delivery? :)

[Marsnaut]

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.

What do you mean by scale models?

On the official site, they have pre-facelift Model S, facelift Model S, and the Model X for sale.
Example: Diecast 1:18 Scale Model X P100D

Hot Wheels and Matchbox also create a cheaper version.

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.

Fremont- mine was “hiding” in the center console.

I received mine from the Marina Del Rey location on 4/28. It was hidden in the console near the phone charger. I was an online reservation on 3/31.

I'm talking about a plastic assembly model you put together and paint yourself. Most sports cars have them out there on the market as well as a lot of race cars. Some other cars have models too.

Here is one for the BMW i8:

Here is one for a 1976 Chevy Caprice:

Building it from a kit, you can modify the kit as you want to make a specific car. I'd like to make a Model S look like my car. I may have to tweak a kit of a P100D, but it wouldn't take much.

Waiting for mine...took delivery of the 3 last year.

I was an online 3/31 reservation holder as well. Picked mine up in Marina Del Rey and found it hidden in the center console two days later.

Online 3/31 pre-reveal reservation holder in Missouri, received one during my delivery early this week. It was in my center console.

I got one yesterday. Marina del Rey. Reservation 7/2017. Don't think it has anything to do with that...

I'm getting a home delivery, so I asked my ISA to make sure I get the diecast model. If they forget to bring it, I'll just contact my ISA and have it mailed to me or something.

I got a 1:1 scale model 3. Drove it home.

 

[RayK]

My scale model was under the armrest. Gave it to my 26 year old daughter and said that was going to be as close as she would get to driving my car for a little while.

Who gets these scale models? Only for Fremont deliveries? Should I ask for one? Would that be gauche?

 

[wdolson]

I think only first day reservation holders are supposed to get them.

 

[TEG]

I think they have been a bit haphazard about who got them.
It does seem like it was timed to be the "line waiter gift", but maybe doled out a lit more randomly than intended.

 

[hjelmn]

Got a scale model with my Model 3 on July 7. But I reserved sight unseen on 03/31/16.

 

[streetskooler]

I reserved online 4/4/16 and was a non owner. Picked up my new model 3 today and they gave me a scale model. I was quite surprised

 

[Graffi]

I'm kind of a sucker for little scale models of the cars i own... I made reservation on first day. Are they still giving these out at time of delivery?

If not, I'll probably ante up on eBay or something.

Thanks,
Jeff

What??? They will give me a scale model of our Model 3 when it is delivered???

They gave me one when I got the Model S, but they called it a Key Fob so I could use the car without a key.

And here I thought I was only getting a Credit Card sized Model 3 Key. Plus the ability to get frustrated by a Phone App on my phone. Hey, a new use of the term "Car Phone", A scale model of the 3 that is also a phone. At least it will be more practical than Agent 86's shoe phone, and who wears a tie, or sock guarder any more. Maybe a belt phone with blue tooth. That would have been more practical back then, but it was not available at that time.

Got mine in Marina del Rey this week. Reserved July 2017.

 

[Vintre]

I found mine in the console. I reserved my M3 April 2017 and picked up June 2018.

No scale model at delivery as they ran out of stock (Fremont) ... said to call back in a week.

It was a 30+ mins wait for Delivery Center (and counting), gave up
