Find an in-stock item by calling stores
@MattPRD says Muse called five Tesla locations at once to find a Model YL in stock to view, found one, and handed back transcripts of every call, including a few where nobody answered. This page shows how to ask for an in-stock item by phone and what to check in the transcripts.
What you can get
What it is
Multi-location stock check with call transcripts
A specific in-stock item located by calling multiple stores at once, with transcripts of each call to review.
It came back right when
- Multiple locations were actually contacted, not just one.
- Transcripts or a clear record of each call are available to review.
- Unanswered calls are reported as such, not silently skipped.
- Stock information is treated as current at the time of the call, not guaranteed to hold.
The checks are editorial, not from the source.
- Name the item and locations
What you are looking for, and where to check.
- Calls are placed
Multiple locations contacted, possibly at the same time.
- Review the transcriptsStops for your approval
Read what was actually said, not just a summary.
- Decide next steps
Visit a confirmed location, or try unanswered ones again.
Editorial, not from the source
Works when
- You need to check stock at several locations and calling each yourself would take too long.
- You want transcripts to verify what was actually said.
- The item is something worth confirming in person before traveling to a store.
Does not work when
- A single phone call would answer the question just as well.
- You need a reservation or hold placed, not just a stock check.
- You are not comfortable with calls being placed to businesses on your behalf without reviewing the script first.

The source case
On X, @MattPRD describes asking Muse to call five Tesla locations at the same time to find one with a specific model, the Model YL, in stock to view in person; it found one. In follow-up replies on the same day, they add that some calls reached no one and that they were given transcripts of every call to read through afterward, and they posted what they describe as a real transcript of one of the calls. Checked on 2026-10-09; the posts do not say whether the showroom visit happened or how the calls were actually placed (through a phone integration, a calling service, or something else).

From the source
Source excerpt
My muse just called 5 tesla locations for me at the same time.
Source excerpt
It handled a few where nobody was there. And it shows me transcripts for all of the calls which is really wild to read through.
Source excerpt
Here is a real transcript of my @muse calling Tesla to see if they have a Model YL I could look at.

Other ways to ask
Editorial rewrites of the brief above, for a different emphasis. Copy them separately.
What you need
Editorial, not from the source
You supply
- Item being searched for
- Locations or area to call
Connected
- A calling capability, which the source report does not specify the mechanism for
Approved by you
- Awareness that real businesses are being contacted on your behalf
How to try it
Editorial, not from the source
- Say what you are looking for and ask it to call nearby locations to check stock, rather than relying on a website that may not reflect what is actually in the store.
- Give it the locations or area to call, since the source report describes calling stores near the poster, not an unbounded search.
- Ask for transcripts of each call, as described in the source report, so you can see what was actually said rather than trusting a summary.
- Expect some calls to go unanswered; the source report describes exactly that happening for a few locations.
Let it make the calls you would not get around to
The report behind this page describes a specific kind of task: not impossible to do yourself, just tedious enough that it usually does not happen at all. Calling one or two stores to check stock is normal; calling five at once, simultaneously, to find a specific vehicle model to view in person is the kind of thing most people would not attempt on their own. That is the actual value here, not that the task is hard, but that it is slow and easy to put off indefinitely. If you have a specific item and a list of nearby locations, handing over the calling itself, rather than the decision of where to go, is what this task is built for.
Ask for transcripts, not a summary
One detail worth copying directly from the source report: after the calls were made, the poster was given transcripts of all of them to read through, and described it as wild to go through afterward. A summary can smooth over exactly the detail that matters, like whether a store actually confirmed stock or just said someone would check and call back. Transcripts let you see what was actually asked and answered, store by store, rather than trusting a condensed version of five separate conversations rolled into one. Ask for this every time, since it costs nothing extra to request and gives you a way to judge the result yourself rather than taking a summary on faith.
Expect some calls to go nowhere
Not every call connects. The source report's follow-up replies mention that a few locations had nobody there to answer, which is a normal outcome when calling multiple businesses at once, not a sign that something went wrong with the task. Treat a batch of calls as giving you answers from whichever locations actually picked up, and be ready to try again on the ones that did not. The report does not say how the calls were technically placed, so this directory cannot confirm the mechanism; what it does show is the shape of the task, calling several places at once to save the time of calling each one yourself, one at a time, in sequence.
Open Muse to try it. That is the product's own site; this guide is not part of it.
Limits and confirmation points
Limits to confirm
- One report plus follow-up replies from the same person, with no confirmation that the showroom visit happened or that stock was still available by the time they got there.
- How the calls were actually placed (through what service or integration) is not stated. This directory has not verified the mechanism.
- Businesses are being contacted directly. Keep requests reasonable; mass-calling locations to check stock is different from dozens of unrelated calls.
- Stock that was available during a call can change by the time you arrive. Treat a positive call result as current information, not a hold on the item.
Stop and check
Editorial, not from the source
- Before calling: confirm which locations and what item.
- After calling: review the transcripts rather than just a summary.
- Before traveling: confirm stock is still current, since it can change.
If it goes wrong
Editorial, not from the source
- Some calls go unanswered
- That happened in the source report too. Treat it as a normal outcome for some locations and focus on the ones that did answer.
- You want to verify what was actually said on a call
- Ask for the transcript, not just a summary, as the source report describes doing.
- Stock confirmed by phone is gone by the time you arrive
- Treat a phone confirmation as current at the time of the call, not a hold. Call again or ask about reserving the item if that matters to you.
Common questions
How many locations can it call at once?
The source report describes calling five locations simultaneously. It does not state a limit beyond that.
What if a store does not answer?
That happened for some locations in the source report. Treat unanswered calls as a normal outcome, not a failure, and consider trying again.
Can I see what was actually said on the calls?
Ask for transcripts. The source report describes being given transcripts of every call, which the poster found useful to read through afterward.
Does this reserve the item for me?
No, based on the source report. It describes checking stock by phone, not placing a reservation or hold.
How are the calls actually placed?
Not stated in the source report. This directory has not verified the mechanism behind the calling itself.
