Tesla has added two new collectibles to the online Tesla Shop in China: a remote-control Cybertruck and a factory-themed Optimus action figure. Both are China-only for now, but Tesla usually brings this kind of merchandise to North America, so they’ll likely show up here soon.
Update (11/11): Well, that was quick — Tesla has officially launched both the Cybertruck RC Racer ($350) and the Action Figure 2.5 | Factory Edition ($45) in the U.S.
Cybertruck RC Racer
The Cybertruck RC car costs ¥1,769, or roughly $250. Tesla’s listing emphasizes its speed, and the specs suggest it’s more than a basic toy.
It’s a 1:10 scale model with a brushless motor, four-wheel drive, and independent suspension, so it should be able to handle rough terrain. Tesla says it can hit up to 60 km/h (about 37 mph), and a gyroscope helps keep it stable when you drift. The 2.4 GHz remote has a range of up to 99.4 meters (~326 feet), and the body is made from impact-resistant polycarbonate to handle crashes off-road.
The model measures 56.5 cm long, or about 22 inches, and runs on an 11.1V, 3,400 mAh battery that lasts up to 20 minutes. It comes with a pistol-grip remote and a charger, though you’ll need four AA batteries for the remote. Tesla also notes that once you’ve actually used it, it can’t be returned without a reason.
The RC truck arrives as the real one nears the end of its run. Tesla announced it will end Cybertruck production to make room for more Cybercabs, and said it will have to refund deposits for a lot of buyers it can’t build trucks for. Musk has since extended Cybertruck production through the end of summer 2027, but for many fans, this RC car may be the closest they get.
Optimus Gen 2.5 Factory Edition
The new Optimus figure costs ¥199, or about $28. It’s based on the Optimus Gen 2.5 design, with gold and black limbs, and this “Factory Edition” comes dressed for work. It wears an orange high-visibility vest with a Tesla logo and comes with a white Tesla hard hat, a Tesla-branded wrench, and a cordless drill. The figure is poseable and comes in a display box with a Tesla factory backdrop.
The real Optimus has moved on to its Gen 3 design. Tesla started Optimus production at its Fremont factory last month, in floor space that was once used to build the Model S and Model X.
Tesla hasn’t said when either item will come to other regions. With the holidays coming up, however, a North American launch could come soon.
