Did anybody else frame their Model 3 thank you gift?

[ccutrer]

Don't throw it away; you can sell it on eBay! See here: This Is The Model 3 Pre-Order Gift

Whoops. I threw mine away last week. Looks like the only one theta is actually selling is $15 though. I don't know if that's worth the PITA that eBay and PayPal fees are, then to go and ship it...

I stood in line for 4 hours in a snow storm and haven't received anything.

Not even frostbite?

I was with you in that line but I got mine. I finally got in and reserved around 11:20ish. It was COLD

 

[e-FTW]

I was not in line, and ordered late for a fanboy, somewhere in the 300k's.
I received this yesterday.

Here I go, loved the concept, did the Hobby Lobby thing last weekend and..........

I did not have it double matted, instead I used a sheet of their very nice linen-looking construction paper(?) to make the blue border and here it is waiting on me to put hangers on it and put it on the wall. Oh, the joy!

Framed mine as a reminder to keep saving for that massive down-payment

 

[WileyTheMan]

I barely have any pictures of my kids framed. Not sure what that would say of my priorities if I ended up framing that.

 

[MTN Ranger]

I framed mine the other day. I probably won on cheapest: $12.50 for 16x20 frame and $2 for mat board (I have a mat cutter). Single mat with a red poster board background, $1.

Framed mine today from Hobby Lobby, just as @cbotnyse for just under $60.

In case anyone is wondering the frame is 16x20 and the one he used is 16" x 20" Dark Walnut 2-Toned Wall Frame | Hobby Lobby | 249987

That frame is $22. How on Earth did you spend nearly $60?

Conversation with older lady at checkout - FREE

Her: Is that your car?
Me: Someday. In about two years.
Her: I've never heard of that name (pointing at Tesla)
Me: It's an electric car
Her: Oh, I rode in one of those once. It didn't have any "get up and go".
Me: This goes zero to sixty in about 3 seconds. (thinking to myself) She's fast enough for you kid!

I think we forget that some people still haven't even heard of Tesla.

Maybe she's thinking of a Prius... Many people still think the Prius is a fully electric car and that all electric cars go like slow golf carts.

Yes, that was my guess. The Leaf would at least have some low-end torque.

I follow Tesla so closely that it's almost shocking to hear "poor acceleration" as a criticism for an electric car, but it just goes to show that some of the general public still isn't fully aware of the technology. The Model 3 is going to hit the industry like a tsunami.

 

[jsanford]

Well, add me to the framing club...although I had the thought we should just deposit the money into the savings account. We framed just the print though, not the note or folder. I'll post pictures when received.

Some? In my area it's way more than some. Shortly after we got our X, we had a conversation like this in the parking lot:

Wow, that's a cool car! What kind is it?

A Tesla.

Oh. Who makes it?

... Tesla.

... Oh.

 

[FlatSix911]

The Model 3 will join my collection from the Tesla owners Model S and X launch events

WTF is behind the frame ... this needs a custom matt
