I got my antenna 2 weeks later and the keys 6 weeks later. Still waiting on the nice book cover though. lol
Actually, I'm surprised they give a paper manual at all any more. Software stopped give those years ago. It's all PDFs now.

They have to give it in print as still too many don't have internet let alone computers yet.
The legal implications of someone not being informed on many of the topics would give a lawyer an open door if anything should go wrong.
The owners manual is as much a legal disclaimer as it is an instruction book.

I learned allot about my car in the first 5 minutes. I was in such a hurry to get to work after buying it, didn't look at the gas gauge. Got a mile down the road and heard a beeping noise, looked at dash and got the low fuel warning. Pulled into nearest gas station, reached down for fuel door release. Um, O.K. maybe it's by the dash, maybe glove box. That led me to the Manual, found the page and felt like an idiot. I had my wife convinced the fuel door won't open unless you have the car key near it, so not just anybody can open it.
My car came with a cheapie velcro/nylon case. Better than what others have got, it sounds like!

Full tank of 93 octane, 50 gift card for fuel that came in mail about 8 weeks later, and a beautiful clear plastic storage bag for the manuals. Glad when I traded the silverado in I kept the leather cover off those manuals
