It’s the season of giving, but not everyone in your life deserves a good present. Some people deserve to get crap, and that’s exactly what you can do by getting that very special someone a “Levitating Cybertruck” for Christmas this year. Man, Tesla really loves putting out shit like this rather than a well-built car.
Anyway, what we’ve got here is a magnetic base that makes a 1:24-scale silver-colored Tesla Cybertruck (sans wheels) float above it. Why you’d really want this, I have no idea, but it’s a thing that exists in the world. According to Tesla, you can either “leave it motionless” or you can get it to spin with “a gentle tap.” That’s just magical. If that wasn’t enough, it also has working front and rear lightbars thanks to 14 tiny LEDs.
Here’s how Tesla says this magical little device works:
- Plug in and power on your levitation base. Make sure it is on a flat, non-metallic surface.
- Use two hands to hold your Cybertruck directly above the levitation base.
- Slowly lower your Cybertruck, keeping it level, until you feel resistance from the magnet.
- Position your Cybertruck until you feel it sit centered and supported by the magnet.
- Once it is balanced, slowly release your hands.
Magnets. They’re really something, folks.
At this point, if you’re a sicko, you’re probably asking yourself how much this amazing gadget costs and how you can get your hands on it. Well, I’ve got some bad news on that front. Tesla says the $250 Levitating Cybertruck is sold out in its store. However, I did some digging (read: looked it up on eBay), and there are currently 21 confirmed Levitating Cybertruck pre-orders on the website. That’s right; people sell these things before they even get a chance to enjoy them. There’s only one issue: the current going rate is anywhere between $500 and $700 for one of these. That’s a pretty penny, but I can think of few better ways to tell someone you really do not care for them than with a Levigating Cybertruck.
If you don’t want to fork over that sort of money, you can still get the person you hate a $450 bottle of Tesla Mezcal, a $110 Tesla Glow Lantern, various Tesla drink holders and even $65 Tesla Salt + Pepper Shakers. Is this a car company or an isle at Home Goods? Nobody knows anymore.
