Why has only 1 person actually reported reciept of this gift?

Op is possibly suffering from multiple personality disorder. and printed this up as Elon and mailed it to himself. Either that or a troll.

Time of order. Its that simple. There are 3 interesting time-groups here:

1. Pre-online ordering (up until about 3/31/16 7:30pm PT);
2. post-online ordering but pre-reveal (3/31/16 between 7:30pm and 8:30pm PT) and
3. post-reveal (after 3/31/16 8:30pm PT).

You seem to be clearly in the group 2. Elon did say, and I quote his tweet here: "... Also, small token of appreciation coming for those who lined up." So, I suspect that he really means group 1 only.

I suppose its possible that some stores (where?) were still processing in-store orders during the period after the online-ordering started but the reveal hadn't yet started. These people could be separated by what is I am sure, meta-data showing that the order was processed at a store.

I think the intent is to reward people who were willing to stand in a physical queue at the stores, before the product was even publicly revealed.

I also don't know if we'll find out anytime soon. No one said he'd send out the "extra" thing at the same time as what you've shared with us. It could be that we'll get something in the car itself (as some mentioned above) or perhaps around Reveal 2. Certainly the Tesla marketing department will make it a newsworthy thing all by itself.

Could be an interesting week ahead though!

It's the internet age.

They can tell how/where you placed your order by the source IP address.

It works a bit different on my Win 10 system. Right click on IMG tag and then select "view image."

If this is a hoax, someone sure went to a lot of effort...........but what else do we have to do while waiting for the real thing!

Perhaps I am also being too skeptical, but I find the use of the word "ordering" a little fishy. In states like Arizona, Tesla had to be careful to state that your $1,000 was buying a spot in line to order (i.e. making a reservation), not to placing an order.

The $1K was a reservation if you want to be specific.

Anyone else received theirs?

Just got mine

An appropriate token of appreciation. I expected nothing more.

Does anyone know if we can order a poster size print of this? I was already planning on framing a larger one for a garage. This is a great Thank You that they did not have to do.

So the OP was legit, nice.

I can copy mine when I get it .... if you really want one.

Legit? Nope. The conspiracy is just larger than we thought...

Legit? Nope. The conspiracy is just larger than we thought...

I wouldn't be surprised if people thought that. They'd probably use the fact that most of my posts on this board are photoshopping the Model 3, Model Y, hatch, roadster and truck as "proof" that I made mine up too....

Mine's legit... or is it????

However, the problem I see is as follows. How do they know I didn't wait in line? I assume everyone reserved through the same application, and there wasn't a check box for "waited in line" or not. What constitutes a "line waiter"? I don't think anyone has a good answer to that question. I know the UTC store in San Diego had a line through late afternoon, but the one I reserved at (Fashion Valley) did not. Is everyone who went to UTC a "line waiter"? Are the store employees going to make a statement "Well, the line lasted until X time" that is going to determine the cutoff?

It's not that hard to figure out when the line ended. Here's a very simple approach, if you want to be more exact, I can come up with something for you which would have a lower false positive rate, but would be more complicated.

the truth is out there.

I want to believe.....

I'm fine with this, actually. I wasn't really expecting anything other than an early reservation number.

My biggest complaint is that it's not going to look very nice after my mail carrier folds it in half. For some insane reason, my mail carrier (one or all of them, I'm not sure) takes the largest piece of mail, creases it down the middle to make a trough in which the rest of my mail resides as it's slid into my mailbox. So, if this is not the largest piece of mail I receive that day, I may be okay. if it's the largest, forget it.

 

[Model 3]

Just got mine

NOW I get it! The reason only one got it yesterday, and one today is that they are just posting one each day. So the last will get his/hears in about 100k days

Sigh.... same here.

I just got mine! It was only slightly bowed to get it into my mailbox. Everything looks fine though. I'm just glad to finally have something tangible for my long wait to get the real thing (M3). Thanks Elon!
