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.
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.
Not a Tesla App
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 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.
Giga Berlin’s next expansion won’t just mean more Model Ys. Speaking at the Automobilwoche Congress in Berlin, plant manager André Thierig said that if Tesla builds a second factory at the site, “we won’t be building another Model Y factory,” according to a translated report from Automobilwoche.
Thierig didn’t say what that factory would build, and no decision has been made on a second factory or a new product yet.
What Could Giga Berlin Build Next?
Many fans have hoped for a cheaper, compact Tesla for Europe, but the Model 2 was reportedly shelved in early 2024 as Tesla shifted its focus to robotaxis. Instead, Tesla launched cheaper Standard versions of the Model 3 and Model Y.
A new Model 2 or Model Q could secretly still be in the works, but the more likely candidate is the Cybercab. Musk said earlier this year that it’s the “most likely next major product” for Giga Berlin, with Optimus possibly following, and he recently said he hopes to bring the Cybercab to Europe soon. Tesla is also taking the Cybercab on a tour of Europe right now, with four stops in Germany, including Berlin.
Not a Tesla App
Tesla has finished clearing land for the expansion and plans to submit a building application in 2026. It’s part of a broader plan to expand Giga Berlin and eventually take its output to 1 million vehicles per year.
Giga Berlin Keeps Growing
“We are probably the only ones in Germany who are currently growing,” Thierig said, according to the translated report.
Battery cell production is also on the way. Giga Berlin already makes electrodes, which are shipped to Texas to be turned into cells and sent back. Full cell production in Grünheide is set to begin by mid-2027, which would make it the first European plant to build everything from battery cells to finished cars at one site.
Not a Tesla App
Thierig also said Tesla won’t budge on its 38-hour work week, calling a cut to 35 hours “a red line for us.”
Tesla still hasn’t confirmed what a second Berlin factory would build. With the building application due before the end of the year, we should know more soon.
