    I guess it's only fitting that the production ramp on the scale models mirrors the ramp of the real thing... :p

    Hate to break it to youse, but...

    Was told at the MdR DC last week that every Model 3 owner gets the scale model car.

    Which means that line waiters got and will get, evidently, exactly nothing extra for waiting in line *relative to any other CA owner or CA person who became an owner during the past 2 years*.

    Neh, if your Model 3 didn't come with one, it's coming via OTA in 3 months probably, 6 months for sure, so sit tight. Of course, pending regulatory approvals and software validation. :p

    Well, if they run out of mini-3s by the time I get my car, I'll settle for a bottle of Teslaquila instead.

    It's not just CA. My uncle in Texas who is a current Model S owner ordered online and got one too.

    Are there any late reservation holders who are getting the die cast model? Maybe in Elon's tweet, there could be a unique 'cheat code' for unlocking something in the software...

    IDK I was hoping for at least a supercharger credit when we found out the three wouldn't get any...

    The real token of appreciation is free premium internet connectivity for life ;)

    Definitely would appreciate all the recent 'upcharges' lately.. No allotment at all for supercharging, internet access loss after June, FSD price increases...

    I don't know. I did get a folder though with a sketch in it of the pre production/concept model 3. Were those only for line standers?

    Also, did Elon specifically say day 1 reservation AND line standers prior to the event in 2016 or did he mean just anyone and everyone before the event/day 1. (in person and online before/after the event for the first day)

    I personally would like to have a mini model 3.. I wonder how hard it would be to repaint it to the actual color (Metallic Silver) of my Model 3 Performance that I will be picking up this weekend. Would buying a bottle of Tesla touchup paint be enough?

    I would trade my die cast M3 in for a free trunk garnish. Unless missing the garnish was the day 1 reservation holder ‘something special’? :p
