I picked up yeterday in MN. I did not get one. They said "once a center is out, they are out". Bummer but not too big of a bummer.

Not trying to get anyone in trouble...picking up my Model 3 this Saturday and when I asked about the diecast, the delivery adviser said they ran out but will call around different delivery centers to see if they could ship it over. If I could tell her which delivery center, then she could make a call and hopefully they still have some available. Your help would be very appreciated!

Got my M3 Performance today, although it wasn't mentioned or presented during the very thorough delivery process, I found it later underneath the tray in the center console. Definitely a bonus, my three year old will love it. I was not a reservation holder, literally just bought the car on my iPhone 2.5 weeks ago.

How the hell did Austin have any left? Surely they've been selling a ton. They didn't have any in Dallas when I took delivery months ago.

Same here. Found it under the tray in the center console a day or two after my 11/3 delivery. Unexpected! And pretty cool that at delivery they left it unmentioned to be found at a later time. Funny how something like that will bring a smile to your face. It’s still sitting there in its original shrink wrapped form and will probably live there.
I'm amazed that they're still handing these out. I had to know the secret handshake and beg.... even though I'm a line-stander....
And what's this "very thorough delivery process" stuff? They're still doing "thorough?" Wow. Whole different experience on my end.

Well it started with, “Do you have the phone app? Let’s check it works.” It did, he then had me test all the “Controls” features, and then I called my wife over and we worked that out on her phone as well. He did ask if we had any questions, which I did and asked about driver profiles. He was extremely kind and walked us through it. After that, I asked something else and he just said, “Let’s just walk through all the menu options.”
In all it was probably 15-20 minutes, but at no point was he anything but entirely willing and excited to share his Tesla knowledge. I sort of ended it and said, “I’ll figure it out over time.” While he waited for his Uber, I had him help me configure my 3 Homelikk garages.
So it was thorough, but he didn’t go over every nook and cranny either. My wife mentioned to me whether I was installing the car seat, and I was surprised he offered to do it. Surprised for liability reasons. I didn’t take him up on it since I’m pro-level at that and would never want a stranger to do it, and I don’t plan to move the car seat until I unload my ATS-V next month.
