\"Tesla<\/a>Tesla’<\/strong>s<\/a> electric pickup – Cybertruck<\/a><\/span><\/strong> will cost you nearly $40,000 when it goes on sale. Thankfully, Hot Wheels<\/strong><\/a> has teamed with Tesla to make a radio-controlled Cybertruck for the rest of us<\/strong>. The Mattel<\/a> (MAT<\/a>) versions include a deluxe and a smaller HotWheels version.<\/p>\n

\"Tesla<\/a>The deluxe Cybertruck version<\/strong> is a limited-edition<\/a> 1:10 scale model. This model features, functioning headlights and taillights, a tonneau cover, and a telescopic tailgate that fold out as a loading ramp. It has a pistol-style remote to control<\/strong> the all-wheel drive<\/strong> with “Chill” or “Sport” driving modes that can get up to 250 mph<\/strong> scale speed.<\/p>\n

Deluxe Cybertruck<\/h3>\n

The 1:10 model even comes with a reusable \u201ccracked window vinyl sticker<\/strong>\u201d that mocks the fail at the launch event<\/a>. It also includes a plastic body that can be removed to see the model’s interior, the battery, and the drivetrain. The large truck has a 9.9-v, 3300-mAh rechargeable battery<\/strong>, and the run-to-charge time is 1:1. The deluxe Mattel version is 1\/100th of the cost of the full-sized Telsa version at $400.<\/p>\n

\"Mattel<\/a>The traditional scale<\/strong> HotWheels version of the Tesla Cybertruck fits on the classic orange Hot track<\/strong>. The 1\/64th scale RC car has a gaming-style remote control, two-wheel drive but has Chill or Sport driving modes. Hot Wheels says the 1:64 car can get up to 500 mph<\/strong> scale speed. This version will cost you $20<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How to order a Cybertruck<\/h3>\n

Hot Wheels already offers the Tesla Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model Y, and Roadster as traditional Hot Wheels, so it no surprise that they added the CyberTruck to the stable. Just like real Tesla’s, the time between order and actually taking delivery of the purchased product is extremely long. Mattel says not to expect deliveries until mid-December 2020<\/strong>. The 1\/10 version can be pre-ordered here<\/a> and the 1\/64 version can be per-ordered here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
