Hot Wheels Is Making a Remote-Controlled Tesla Cybertruck

Hot Wheels announced today it will sell two remote-controlled scale-model versions of Tesla's highly anticipated Cybertruck. Buyers will be able to choose between a smaller 1:64 scale or a bigger 1:10 scale truck, each sporting that same radical design and a handful of neat features.

The smaller car is built to the same scale as a normal three-inch Hot Wheels car. It has two driven wheels and two drive modes: Chill or Sport. It recharges by plugging into the included controller, and will cost $20.

Thanks to its size, the bigger Cybertruck has a bit more included features. It too has Chill and Sport driving modes, but for this version, all four wheels are driven. According to Hot Wheels, it can hit a top speed of 25 mph thanks to its 9.9-volt, 3300 mAh battery. There are working headlights and taillights, a tonneau cover, and a telescoping tailgate that can fold into a ramp. The exterior plastic body is removable, allowing a peek into the interior. It's priced at $400.

Pre-orders for both trucks are open now, with first deliveries expected in December 2020. If you have a Tesla fan in your life, this might be the perfect gift for the upcoming holiday season.
