Tesla Bot Replica Sold Out in Minutes, Official Price Surpasses 10 Times
The highly anticipated Tesla Bot replica, a scale model of the company's autonomous delivery robot, went live on December 26 at 10 am. The item was quickly snatched up by enthusiastic collectors and fans, with all major online platforms and official stores showing sold-out status.
On second-hand e-commerce platforms, the price of Tesla Bot replicas has more than doubled to between $479 and $199, a staggering increase from the original price. This suggests that collectors are willing to pay top dollar for the novelty item, which is officially priced at just $199.
The replica, available in a 1:10 scale, consists of over 40 individual parts and features 20 interactive nodes, mimicking the movements and design of Tesla's second-generation humanoid robot. However, unlike its electric counterpart, the Bot replica lacks dynamic functionality.
Tesla Bot first made headlines when Elon Musk showcased it at a Cybercab launch event in October this year. The futuristic robot sent shockwaves on-site, with even baristas donning replicas to engage with attending attendees. At the time, Musk emphasized that humanoid robots will become increasingly affordable for consumers in the future, potentially serving as companions and helpers in daily life.
