Two versions of miniature Cybertruck are available online.One version is a classic small Hot Wheels toy car, as we all know from our childhood, but with the difference that the Cybertruck also has a driver.The second version is larger and, of course, more expensive.

The smaller versions in 1:64 scale cost $20. The larger version of the Cybertruck is in 1:10 scale and has a price tag of $400.This version is currently sold out, but you can join the wait list.

The Cybertruck 1:10 scale is of course more detailed and has more features.The most interesting features include functional lights, four-wheel drive, two driving modes (ChillandSport), a fully functional manually operated ramp, a functional load compartment cover, or a reusable broken window sticker referring to a trap with broken windows that happened unveiling Cybertruck.

Hot Wheels designers have studied a real Cybertruck from every angle to capture as much detail as possible.As part of this project, they even met Tesla's design team.

Mattel has already opened pre-orders but the delivery of these miniature Cybertrucks is scheduled to begin sometime in December of this year, which is approximately a year before deliveries of the actual Tesla Cybertruck.
