We take the $100 Cybertruck R/C for a spin

Mattel is selling a toy version of the Cybertruck for $100, and Bridget Carey gets an early look at the R/C vehicle. Pre-orders for the new collectable begin Friday May 21 at 8 a.m. PT (11 a.m. ET) at MattelCreations.com.

My test drive didn’t last long when it broke in the first five minutes of playing with it. I reached out to Mattel about it, and the company shared this statement: “The version provided to CNET was an early-phase product sample. Fans will receive a final version of the latest 1:10 Hot Wheels R/C Cybertruck to ensure they can enjoy the best play experience possible.”

So things may be different when the final models ship to customers, which Mattel says will be by September 15. (And maybe when I send back my model to Mattel, they can investigate any issues.)

    The build quality of the first RC car seems to match the average Tesla’s build quality.

    She is definitely the best reporter on CNET!

  14. Read my ABOUT section PLEASE

    May 17, 2021 at 8:39 pm

    You have an extra $1? ???? Savin’ to get a laptop (homejob). No opportunities outside due to constant lockdowns (unlike other countries). ???? Sorry for this. ???? I’m not a bad person, just a desperate breadwinner. Lost a lot since 2020.

    Off-topic, I know… I hope you understand the desperation. I know some people need more help than me and my family but I do hope that does not invalidate my cry for help. ???? 

    Things are getting worse here. We don’t have stimulus checks or anything like USA. So I’m just really doing whatever I can to put food on the table. We may not be killed by the virus but the situation is surely slowly killing us. ????

    Peace be with you. ❤ GOD bless. ????❤

    And to anyone who’s also struggling, let’s hold on tight. All will soon be well. ????????????????❤❤❤

    if you think this sucks… wait until the RC community mods it with performance RC parts. because medium size 5 axis CNC machines and 3d printers are a real.
