Tesla Factory Tour + Sponsorship?

Hi all,

This year Team 3992 reached out to Tesla Motors and we're getting sponsored by them! (kinda).

Tesla is providing us with a few things.. one, an exclusive tour of the Tesla factory for 25 (they don't do tours, only for execs and VIP's, this is a first-time thing for them), a "take a tesla home for a day" and a series of "swag bags" with tesla stuff in them.

We're in a little bit of a financial coop so we're going to be doing something with these things to raise money for our team - we're thinking along the lines of auctioning them off, or raffling them.

I was wondering how many teams or people on ChiefDelphi would be interested in this sort of stuff - we were ecstatic about the tesla factory thing, but being a Florida team it's a bit impractical so we wanted to offer it to teams or peoples in the west coast area..

Anyways, the end question is - would you be interested in the above stuff? Tesla swag bags, tesla factory tour, take a tesla home for a day?

We'll likely be doing either a raffle for the factory and tesla (something like enter your team for $50 or $100 for a chance to win) or auction the whole thing off for a certain amount of money. Same with swag bags.

After all, this is going to be a fundraiser for our team for the FRC season as we're low on funds - we're interested In hearing if you'd be interested as well as any ideas you may have as to how we should go about utilizing these great gifts from Tesla.

Disclaimer: Tesla Motors isn't actually ready to sponsor teams - they're a new company and getting started - they specifically told us they can't "sponsor" us but can offer these neat gifts - they ask that they're not approached with sponsorship requests from hundreds of teams so please do not contact them lest they get overwhelmed

EDIT: This isn't tesla offering us stuff for us and us wanting to be greedy and auction it off - they offered us these gifts as tools of sponsorship - there was no expectation of our team using them - we can but we're financially strapped and opted for this as well - they understand this.
