Bribe an employee. "Call me when one comes in and there's $10 in it for you."

Perhaps, but some of the fun is the hunt.

Wrong red.

Oh, and for the record I contacted [email protected] (address listed on their website) about acquiring a "fleet" (with the intent to distribute at TMC Connect)...

I’m interested in a bulk purchase of 100+ of the “Tesla Model S” “HW Workshop” (217/250) toy.
How do I go about creating such an order?

and got the following response:

We regret to inform you that we do not sell individual cars on Mattelshop.com. Please check with your local retail store that sells Hot Wheels products to place a special order.

Finally, both Hot Wheels and Matchbox are introducing their versions of the Model S! Details from Evannex:

More news - Tesla Model S Matchbox And Hot Wheels Toys Are Finally Here - Gas 2
But no solid information on when we'll find them in stores.

Matchbox - Looking Good

Hotwheels... not so much. That spoiler!

Kill it! Kill it with fire!

About time! I'll get a few of the Matchbox one. The Hot Wheels car is shiny but not accurate enough for my tastes. Hopefully soon.

I found this link to order them: http://is.gd/hotwheels_TeslaModelS

Just watch out you are buying the scale you really want, I couldn't find it documented but I'm sure it's in the fine print.

I bought five! Thanks

Looks like the Bieber version.

Except you can't find them anywhere.

The Hot Wheels and Matchbox "dealers" (aka Walmart, Toys R Us) offer a horrible experience compared to the direct-from-manufacturer purchase model used by Tesla Motors.

It's trivial for me to order 10 actual vehicles directly from Tesla. It's been frankly impossible to just find a single Hot Wheels or Matchbox variant at every Walmart within 100 miles of me (and some Toys R Us, Fred Meyer, Target ...).

You could wait for them to show up online?

I just bought 3 red Matchbox ones. It matches my car for the most part

 

[andrewket]

I'm looking for a red one to match my car but all I'm seeing is silver. Can you post a link?

Just took delivery of my second Tesla today!!!

(It's from the eBay auction linked in this thread.)

Same here - but that's by design. They're the same company now, Matchbox focuses on accuracy while Hot Wheels is about custom unique takes on a vehicle.

That is a seriously cool amount of detail on the inside of the car. Is that rear facing jump seats?
