Musk delivered (or maybe even overdelivered) on that promise when the Cybertruck was announced in November 2019.

But as he got closer to revealing the vehicle, he kept teasing that it would have a “ futuristic-like cyberpunk, Blade Runner” design. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has long said that his company would build an electric pickup truck. Both versions were designed with help from Tesla. It also has two driving speeds but fewer moving parts. The 1:64 scale version is the size of a typical Hot Wheels car. Mattel says the body can be removed to reveal the “interior and access internal battery and drivetrain system.” The bigger RC Cybertruck even comes with a “cracked window vinyl sticker” in a nod to the now-infamous mishap from the real truck’s big reveal. The 1:10 scale version is described on Mattel’s website as a “hobby grade-radio-controlled vehicle that is off-road and rugged terrain capable.” It has functioning headlights and taillights, and two driving modes: “chill” and “sport.” Just like the real Cybertruck, it has a telescoping tailgate that slides out into a loading ramp for the bed.

Both are expected to ship in December 2020, but they’re limited editions and will only be available until they’re sold out, Mattel says. It is available to preorder now and will come in two sizes: there’s a 1:64 scale RC Cybertruck that costs $20 and a much bigger 1:10 scale version that runs for $400. If you can’t put a Cybertruck in your garage, one under the Christmas tree might be the next best thing.Mattel has announced a Hot Wheels-branded remote-controlled version of Tesla’s Cybertruck. So if your taste is big, but not quite big enough for the real thing, pre-orders are already being accepted and the RC Cybertruck will begin arriving at your doorstep in November. Wu added that the 1:10 scale Cybertruck will be available for purchase in “extremely limited” quantities. Some of those who don’t have the resources to purchase the actual truck have the opportunity to bring a little bit of Tesla into their household. The detail and effort Mattel and Hot Wheels put into the design of the RC Cybertruck is sure to turn some heads. Vice President of Design for Hot Wheels Ted Wu said, “We think for a Tesla fanatic this would be perfect.” And it is. A quarter-million confirmed pre-orders later (and probably way more now), and the Cybertruck’s Blade Runner design has become the inspiration for a variety of different things.

The gamble inevitably paid off for Musk and Tesla. Nobody had ever seen a truck like this in the real world and perhaps no other automaker even thought about making a truck that looks like the Cybertruck does. When Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled the Cybertruck in November 2019, he was starting a revolution in some ways. This feature gives owners a realistic, but slightly smaller, feel of what it is like to have the most talked-about pickup truck in years. A piece of the plastic chassis is also removable for those who want to take a peek at the Cybertruck’s unique interior that includes a recycled paper dashboard. But don’t get too excited, because Hot Wheels has not included the Tesla ATV with the RC Cybertruck.īoth RC models will be outfitted with the actual vehicle’s headlights and taillights. The truck bed rolls off into a loading ramp, just like it did at the unveiling ceremony. The 1:64 scale model RC version of the truck will have 20 minutes of drive time before needing a charge, while the larger 1:10 scale Tesla Cybertruck will offer an additional 10 minutes of playtime.
