The official Cybertruck account posted a very Tesla kind of update on November 11, 2026: “In other Cybertruck news… RC Racer now available on Shop.” The 24-second clip is the joke and the pitch in one take. A full-size Cybertruck sits still. A tiny stainless twin charges a ramp, goes airborne, then tears across a dirt hillside throwing dust like it has something to prove.
In other Cybertruck news…
RC Racer now available on Shop
— Cybertruck (@cybertruck) November 11, 2026
This is Tesla’s own Cybertruck RC Racer, sold on the Tesla Shop — not a third-party knockoff, and not the old Hot Wheels version. It is a rechargeable 1:10-scale remote-control truck. Tesla’s listing even calls it “built for any planet,” which is a lot of marketing for something you will actually drive around a parking lot.
On paper, this is closer to a hobby-grade ready-to-run kit than a Christmas-morning toy. The official listing describes a high-efficiency brushless motor, electronic stability control, four-wheel drive, independent suspension, and an impact-resistant polycarbonate body with a quick-release design. A 2.4G radio system is rated for distances up to 326 feet. An optional Gyro feature is supposed to help with counter-steering so the truck does not spin out. Power comes from an 11.1V 3S 3400mAh LiPo battery. Tesla’s published figures are a top speed of up to 37 mph (60 km/h) and a run time of up to 20 minutes.
In the box, Tesla lists one RC racer, one transmitter and one charging adapter. AA batteries for the remote are not included. The listing also flags a choking hazard, says it is not suitable for children under 14, and notes that a Cybertruck RC Racer Spare Parts page is “coming soon.”
We have not driven one, so treat 37 mph and 20 minutes as Tesla’s claims, not our stopwatch. Thirty-seven miles an hour is a serious clip for a 1:10-scale truck, which is probably why this is marked 14 and up. Twenty minutes is a short session if you actually use that speed, and a spare battery would be an obvious add-on once those parts go on sale.
At the time of writing, InsideEVs and Not a Tesla App both put the U.S. price at $350. InsideEVs said the RC was available now, with first shipments expected to start arriving next week. Not a Tesla App first spotted a China listing at 1,769 yuan, then reported that Tesla had already launched the U.S. Shop page at $350. Recheck the Tesla Shop for the live price and ship timing before you buy.
A few other details come from that same coverage, not from Tesla’s short listing text. Not a Tesla App says the model is about 22 inches long (56.5 cm), uses a pistol-grip remote, and, once you have actually used it, cannot be returned without a reason. InsideEVs described charging over USB-C after you pop the quick-release body, and said a full charge may take up to three hours. That last number would make a spare battery even more attractive. We have not independently confirmed those extras on the live Shop page.
This is also not Tesla’s first miniature Cybertruck. In 2020, Mattel and Hot Wheels announced two Tesla-designed RC versions: a 1:64-scale model at $20 and a limited 1:10-scale hobby-grade truck at $400, with working lights and a telescoping tailgate. Deliveries slipped into 2021. A later 1:10 Hot Wheels version, sold around $100 in 2021 with a Cyberquad in the bed, was advertised by Mattel as topping 12 mph. This new Shop model is sold directly by Tesla, claims roughly three times that speed, and leans on a brushless 4WD layout. Different toy, different era, and a very different price-to-speed pitch.

For $350, you are not buying the cheapest fast RC on the market. You are buying the official stainless wedge, the Tesla badge, and a spec sheet that looks like it belongs in a hobby shop instead of a toy aisle. If the 37 mph claim holds up, this will be a handful in a driveway. Just budget for AA batteries, maybe a second LiPo once parts exist, and a little respect for a truck that is not meant for little kids.
Replies to the official post were about what you’d expect. Some people already want one under the tree. A few joked that this might be the only new Cybertruck they can actually afford. Others asked Tesla to sell it in more countries. Fair enough. This one will at least fit in an apartment.
