Because it seems that child-sized cars have already entered the little ones’ hierarchic system as a new method for wealthy children to show off, Radio Flyer now plans to start making the classiest wheels for your children. To be more exact, there is now a Tesla Model S that comes in about 20 sizes smaller and naturally, a lot less fast.
Radio Flyer is the name that also produces the infamous red wagon for kids and just announced the Tesla Model S for kids as starting preorders with the first units shipping out somewhere in May. And while the basic model starts at $499, there’s a surprisingly huge amount of customization that you can do to it. Although it will cost you.
The Tesla Model S comes in more color variations: there’s the classic Red Multi-Coat that you can see in the preview videos as the classic model, Midnight Silver Metallic and Deep Blue Metallic. Seeing a close-up photo of the Tesla Model S for kids could probably easily fool you into thinking it was a full scale model, thanks for the carefully designed exact model replica of the real thing. Not to mention that you can also customize it a fair bit too: you can get custom Tesla-branded license plates that will cost you an extra $15, a parking sign that will be an extra $25 or even a $50 indoor car cover.
Not to mention that you can also get some flashy and classy new wheel covers called the Silver Turbine Wheels for an extra $15.
The Tesla Model S for kids works on a 140 Wh rechargeable battery that is hidden in the back of the car, which will also be able to be upgraded to a 190 Wh model for an extra $50. It has a surprisingly fast recharging time (up to 3 hours), and can either be plugged to charge through the side of the car or by taking it out.
The Tesla Model S for kids also has 2 different speed levels: one will limit your kid’s speed to 3 mph while the speedier one will go up to 6 mph. Not only that, but the small scale vehicle has its own sound system that you can hook up your music player too, fully functional headlights and a trunk, which albeit is in the front is relatively spacious for the size of the car.
The Tesla Model S for kids is made for children ages 3 to 8 and has a weight capacity of 81 pounds. You can preorder one of those fashionable cars for your kids straight off the Radio Flyer website.
