If you’re too embarrassed to drive around in a real Tesla Cybertruck but want to taste that futuristic goodness, then now’s your chance because Hot Wheels has created a radio-controlled 1:10 Tesla Cyber Truck. Unsurprisingly, this Tesla toy is no longer available on shelves in Australia as it was released more than two years ago. However, it’s available on the second-hand market for a pretty large markup, around $500.
Do you still want to get your hands on one? According to Mattel, the Hot Wheels Cybertruck is built much like the Tesla version. That means authentic wheels and tyres, working lights, and a unique controller that mimics the innovative steering wheel. There’s also proper utility, with a pick-up bed that can store your Cyberquad.
