Tesla has struck again with an unexpected collector’s item: a miniature version of the Cybertruck that floats thanks to magnets. Quickly out of stock, this gadget is now the subject of frantic speculation on resale sites.
A Cybertruck that defies gravity
Tesla offers a reduced and futuristic version of its famous Cybertruck: the “Levitating Cybertruck”, a 1:24 scale model, designed to levitate above a circular magnetic base. Measuring 228mm in length and resting on a 156mm diameter base, this miniature model looks like it came straight out of a science fiction film. Thanks to a system of magnetsthe replica floats in the air, and its minimalist design highlights an angular and modern silhouette, without wheels or doors.
Besides its design, the miniature Cybertruck is equipped with functional LED bars on the front and rear, activated by a simple button on the magnetic base. Powered via a USB-C cable and power adapter, this gadget should be installed on a flat, non-metallic surface to ensure optimal operation. Once in place, it can float in a stable position or rotate depending on its positioning.
An immediate success, followed by a surge in prices
As soon as it was put online on the official Tesla store, the Cybertruck Levitation quickly found itself out of stock. Originally sold for 250 dollarsthis gadget is now the object of desire on resale platforms, where copies are offered between 449 and 980 dollarsup to almost four times its original price.
This price surge is not surprising for a Tesla product. The company is known for generating buzz around its merchandise, attracting both loyal collectors and opportunistic resellers. The latter rely on scarcity to maximize their profit, as is the case with this unique gadget.
The Cybertruck Levitation joins a long list of derivative products inspired by the iconic design of the electric vehicle. Among the items already available, we find objects like the Cyberquad, an electric toy for children, or even original accessories such as the CyberMug, the CyberStein, and even a bottle opener in the shape of a Cybertruck. Even more unusual, Tesla marketed a beer called CyberBeer, which, despite mixed reviews, continues to appeal to fans of the brand.
