Perfect for Model X.​

They will be sending this sticker to all future owners...

He already replied to someone on April 2 on that asked if it might be a "scale model 3" and he said "among other things"

Nice Find

I think the scale model 3 will be hand delivered to each reservation holder by Elon himself. You know, in his spare time.

Have not read through all 11 pages...So not sure if mentioned. He tweeted a pic of the concept drawings for the Model 3....Have been thinking that would be one of the gifts. 8x10 print or something...

Wait a minute.

If we are talking about line waiters, maybe it is actually a gift for those people who were helping the people who were waiting in line. Like a restaurant waiter.

So as far as gifts go... I wasn't expecting anything and thought it was a kind gesture to not only send reservation holders something but to also acknowledge those in line on Day One with an extra something.

While I hold out hope as one of the earrrrrrrly line waiters for something nice and easy such as a free option during Design Studio time (no shipping costs and that would be So Simple - gratuitous hint, hint), it appears instead that we will likely receive one or more of the following:

1. Artwork similar to what was given to event participants at the first reveal
2. A Model 3 cap
3. A scale Model 3
4. A Model 3 mug

No sizing required, and all relatively small/less expensive to ship. But think of all the shipping costs that could be saved if one was merely granted a free option at configuration time . Yeah, yeah, I know. Wet blankets.

So, in the spirit of idle prognostication, here's an idea... 4%-7% of the reservations were from owners. Using the first day's number, let's just call it 5% of 115,000 or about 6,000 owners on Day One. If Elon really wanted to wow the populace Yet Again, all he'd have to do is to sign 100 of those pieces of artwork each day for the next 60 days and have a freshly minted marketing intern mail out all 6,000 pieces. Suitable for framing, and there you have it. I realize that if he ever got wind of this idea that Elon would well and truly kill me about eight different and highly creative ways - after the feeling in his signing hand returned.

Those caps and mugs are going to be nifty.

The thing I'd like most is a free upgrade for something that is simply software related. Either supercharging enabled if it's not free for everyone, or autopilot enabled. That would be an amazing gesture for those of us that sat in line that morning, and would cost them nothing (other than losing that money potentially on the sale end). I'd trade my mug and scale Model 3 for that

So long as you know it won't be happening.

I want a trip to Mars with my Model 3. Who else can say they drove a car in space, let alone one of the best cars ever made?

Come on that's totally ridiculous..how would you breath...unless maybe the bio weapon option could somehow create oxygen and get rid of the radioactivity at the same time, not to mention the added cost of such a system..

Well I didn't mean right away. I'll wait a few years until Musk makes it suitable for us to live on Mars, or at least part of it.

This is awesome and hilarious lol
