I for one would like to know where I can get a non cheesy die cast CT from.
Not me! I ordered a metal die cast CT from Amazon. Found out when you pull it back just a bit, it makes “realistic sounds”, according to the box instructions. So I pulled it back, and it sounded like a methanol dragster! Oh, VERRRRYYYY realistic!

Ironically, I actually Googled "desktop clicking balls" to get the correct name so I wouldn't be mocked for saying, "one of those swinging metal ball thingys!" I can't win! :)

I don't need more little toys floating about, and I already have the broken-glass tshirt and coasters made by one of us, but if Tesla were to give me a nice Cybertruck sweatshirt I wouldn't complain. Mostly I just want to get a Cybertruck with 3 mm stainless exoskeleton and 500+ mile range. Everything else is just icing on the cake.
The downside of extra range is a heavier battery. There may be circumstances where a heavier CT has advantages, but generally I'd say lighter is better.

Acknowledged. I do not really care what the truck weighs as long as the range is good. It will already be the heaviest and largest vehicle I have ever owned.

I think for model 3 it was day one reservation holders got the thing.
We had a first day Model 3 reservation, delivered in May 2018 with a model car in the center console. That summer I ordered a Performance Model 3. Took it home in September, slightly sad there was no miniature Model 3 in the console (but we had heard they had stopped doing that anyway).

A week later I was washing it and decided to clean around the inside of the frunk. I popped the hood and there was *another* miniature Model 3. Thanks Elon!

I know this comes as a complete surprise but investigation revealed..................

Some selections come in NON-standard colors and some are "simulated" wrap BLACK.


I already have two cruising around the house on FSD. Fun to find in the middle of the night with a bare foot.
