Hotwheels Model S

and the 3/5 Super Volts. I see so many of the Super Volts.

Yup. I saw three of them yesterday while perusing the Hot Wheels at Target!

My wife found our first of the Hot Wheels silver cars and the Matchbox red cars last week. We have about 30 of the red Model S Hot Wheels, because my 3 year old son insists on carrying around "daddy's car" all the time, but it was a good find. For a while there, as Mattel was producing the Disney Cars line, we were doing all the crazy stuff like timing truck shipments, gaining friends in the stockroom, standing in line for K-Mart's exclusive releases, etc. Not so much anymore, we just wait until they pop up by surprise.

Nice!

Where did you find it?
What's on the right, blue Roadster Matchbox????

 

[FlatSix911]

I have a few Tesla models in my collection ... just need to find a Model X?

 

[FlasherZ]

There is a green roadster from hot wheels as well. Have the packaging for the blue model S so we know what to look for?

Found it at Walmart.

And the blue Roadster is Hot Wheels as well:

Sweet! What Schuco models are those? I only have the 1:43 red Model S from them...

I have two Schuco 1:43 models, the Red Roadster and the Black Model S. Now just waiting for the Silver Model X with the falcon doors.

Also have a few Tesla models from the injection molding machine at the Fremont factory ... they used to give them out on the tours ... no more.

So far, I've only located the Hot wheels Roadsters and Model S at Walmart, Target and Toys R Us. Are there any other stores carrying these, especially the Matchbox version (impossible to find so far)?

I've had the same luck, for the Matchbox I had to break down and buy via EBay ($5 including shipping...)

2 hotwheels Model S's, 2 matchbox Model S's, and 2 hotwheels roadsters followed me home from Krogers this weekend. Only 99 cents each

Man, that reminded me of home. Both the trip to Kroger, and the fact that you stuck that superfluous "S" at the end.

Anyway, enjoy the cars! I had to resort to eBay for mine, unfortunately.

Need a white one. Or need to paint the silver one. What paint would be best?

Get the touch up paint from Tesla

Hotwheels has better availability in their Tesla's than Tesla does in their touch up paint!

Has anyone else noticed the Hotwheels models are not very accurate with a cartoonish large rear wing ... the Matchbox models are much better.

If you're not using Tesla's touch up paint, which is a really great idea, you want to use model enamel paints, like the ones from Testor.

Yes, that's always true - Hot Wheels are artistic interpretations, and Matchbox are exacting replicas.

Wait until you see the Super Volt

The Hotwheels Roadster looks pretty good tho (have tons of them), but I really want the impossible to find Matchbox Model S.

There are quite a few Matchbox Model S on ebay, but not for 99 cents.
