Guesses on "token of appreciation" for line waiters tweeted by Elon Musk

[Bruin1996]

So... has anyone heard of any updates on what we might be getting from Tesla as a token of appreciation? I hope it's a scale model Tesla Model 3 rather than a Hot Wheels version. I wonder what else we might be getting?

A mobile phone charger shaped like a Supercharger would be tight: Build Your Own 3D Printed Tesla Supercharger

I thought so. Got one from Porsche last year.

The one from Porsche has the car shape with cool LED headlights.

I want him to give us free autopilot software.

According to Elon 'scale Model 3 and a few other things'...

Porsche sent me a wooden scale model of the Cayenne with a battery bank charger for mobile phone. Maybe a similar idea with the Model 3 ?

Elon's original twitter post:

"Token of appreciation for those who lined up coming via mail. Thought maybe 20-30 people per store would line up, not 800. Gifts on order."

I remember when I reserved at Scottsdale Tesla store that they did not have a single iPad available to check out ANY merchandise. I think originally, Elon had in mind to give us a free Tesla clothing of our choice (hat, shirt, sweatshirt, etc.) but then realized that the store would not be able to give out that much march due to the (unexpected) massive crowds reserving Model 3 in person.

At some previous Tesla events they gave some little plastic models of Model S like this:

Not much to it... Just a plastic "shell". I think maybe they made them using some of the existing equipment at the Tesla factory.

I suppose there is a chance they might do the same for Model 3.

I wouldn't mind a copy of Model 3 sketches... Or a 'lottery ticket' for Part II invitation...

At Dallas NorthPark Gallery they offered 20% off merchandise on March 31st for those who reserved Model 3. Free cookies and bottled water was in abundance too.

Nearby restaurant took advantage of the situation that day - I saw a few people in line ordering lunch from them. It wasn't a free food however...

A bobblehead Elon doll perhaps?

I think this is likely the gift. This photo was posted by Steve Jurvetson on his Flickr page.

Is that a chocolate Model 3?

I would gladly display that in my office. I hope it's something fun like that.

A keychain would be cool, but I don't think it'll happen. At least for the Model S, the keychain of a Model S is the proximity key to use the car. And I think it'll be the same for the Model 3. So why would they give us a keychain of a Model 3, when the car's 'key' is a keychain of a Model 3? But the scale model an drawing are good idea, and certainly something I would value.

even nicer would be an special color option at ordering time

I agree and think the Design concept sketch would be a great item.

You mean like chocolate?

Oh man. If I can get purple without a huge upcharge... and it can be proved that the idea came from you, I'm gonna buy you a beer. Or two.

If you look closely at the brown colored car, it appears to be a model S not a 3. 2 give always: roof line / window breaks and it looks like there's a nose cone.

p.s. The fact that I'm over analyzing this speaks volumes about my unhealthy model 3 obsession
