I bought my M3P in summer of 2019...i can't tell if Tesla is giving me a toy Model 3 (which looks just like my car) for my referrals or they are almost 2 years late... i wouldn't be surprised by either with Tesla

If you are talking about those tiny 1/42 scale cars in a plastic case, then yes, Tesla occasionally, but not always, gives them out. Sometimes a service center (depending on location) will give them out like if you come in with a kid for service. It's sporadic.
Actually, it is diecast 1/18th scale model car. Seems very high quality...and its panel gaps are better than my actual car...

wonder if we are talking about the same thing. Maybe I am misinterpreting the 1/42 on the package. Yea, I guess the gaps are better.Actually, it is diecast 1/18th scale model car. Seems very high quality...and its panel gaps are better than my actual car...
Its actually this model they sent me from the Tesla shop

Must be nice. That's an expensive model. I got the 1/42 Red model when I picked up my M3P. Doesn't match my car at all, but it's a nice gesture.
I've never heard of Tesla just sending those out randomly.
Could someone have ordered you one as a gift?

Update: it was an anonymous gift form co-workers as its my last day at my job. hahaha. There wasn't any indication on the shipment so I thought Tesla was just being nice.
Good luck at the next job. Hopefully your next co-workers are just as thoughtful. Glad you figured it out.

When we picked up our first M3P in September 2020, it came with one sitting right on the center console. The die-cast was 1/43 (the sleeve says 1/43, not 1/42) and was in red, even though we picked up a black 3. Our second M3P we picked up a couple weeks ago did not come with a die-cast. I was hoping to get a second one, but this just made our first delivery slightly more special.

The sales agent gave me one of the 1/43 models when I picked up my new Model 3 last week and I told him I had 2 nephews, so he gave me another one! (I love the car, of course.)
