According to reports, Tesla’s children’s version of the Cyberquad electric four-wheeler, which was recalled last year due to noncompliance with safety standards, is now back on the shelves on Tesla’s official website in the United States.With an official price of US$1,900 (approximately RMB 13,800), the car has also been dubbed the cheapest “Tesla” by netizens.
The new model on the shelves this time is code-named "Model915" and was developed in cooperation with RadioFlyer, a well-known children's toy manufacturer.
Equipped with a 500W drive motor, it has a top speed of 10 miles per hour and a maximum range of 15 miles (approximately 24 kilometers).
Previously, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled the toy car.It is because it believes that this product should be classified as a youth ATV (all-terrain vehicle) rather than a toy vehicle.
To this end, the new model changed the rear suspension system and made other changes to ensure that the product complies with the department and related toy safety standards, and the applicable age was increased to 9-12 years old in exchange for the right to be put on the shelves again.
In addition, in July this year, Tesla’s Cyberquad electric car was also launched on the domestic official website, priced at 11,990 yuan.
Not long after it went on sale, this toy car was sold out, and even third-party platforms even increased the price to purchase it. However, now, the price of this car has returned to normal.
