You know the whole "I'd like to buy the world a coke" thing... If I had unlimited funds I'd like to buy the world a Tesla.
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to buy each one a car
A beautiful EV
(It's a Tesla thing)

I love it....Sing it ajay..... That's probably all we are going to get. No one can listen to ajay sing except those who waited in line.

I must have got it in the mail yesterday, but didn't check the mailbox until today. It was in pristine condition, seems like it has been posted here from Sweden. Whohoo!

Well done!
I also like the old National Lampoon version:
"I'd like to buy the world a coke
And tell it jokes and stuff
Then pull its pants down to its knees
And chase it through the rough..."
(Pretty sure it gets even worse from there, but that is all I can remember and Google isn't helping)

I'm pretty sure it's from a laser printer, postage, and paper costs... They might make at least that much on interest from your $1000 deposit. So no worries. It's more about the gesture.
And he's smiling because no more of his friends and family need to die in order to propel your car.

I hate to break the news to you but, unfortunately, all his friends and family already died 60 million years ago... well, except maybe for cousin Nessie.

Plastic is oil based... Kinda weird how a plastic dinosaur could be made out of real dinosaur. Perhaps his friends and family were plastically reincarnated as well?
Yeah, it's a rather profound thought. Although the majority of the source material would be plain old boring plants. --So more like a big dinosaur Caesar salad, probably tastes like chicken anyways.

Stood in line in Palm Springs, placed order within the first 5 minutes, and nada yet.
Still hoping for a nice simple configurable option or code for the line waiters. Executable only upon ordering the car, that would be elegantly simple - rather like the SC network without poo-poo.
No postage, no wacky fulfillment process, no sizing, and no production costs.
Even simpler would be what HP used to do for their teams that came in ahead of time and within budget for key projects - a code or similar to buy one of whatever from the accessory store. However, that wouldn't work in this case as there is some subset of 115,000 line waiters.
So back to the configurable option or code. The *what* is the question, as the how is straightforward.
Would prefer whatever it is to be inexpensive and to not incur thousands of hours of labor and commensurate fulfillment dollars to get done. No mugs, no t-shirts, and as much as I love the scale cars.... No.
And tying whatever it is to the actual purchase of a car seems not only fair but beneficial from an accounting standpoint. Again, I defer to those who do that sort of thing for a living.
Maybe 5 annual servicings for the price of 4 if buying the package? An introductory price for the ESA as they had for the S?

I got mine. The mailman delivered it to the wrong address. Happily my neighbor was nice enough to bring it over.
Since I wasn't standing in line (I live too far away) and ordered when online ordering opened, I never expected to even get a prize. So it came as a happy surprise. Thanks, Tesla Team. I wish I could afford to have bought a Model S and support the company years ago. I'm happy to contribute at this critical time for the company and get a great vehicle, I expect.
