Brand new, fresh off the line Tesla Roadsters look almost like toys, especially to their brand new owners. But these Teslas really are toys -- Hot Wheels to be exact. So if you can't shoot for the real thing (and at over $100,000 who can blame you), you can have a scaled down version for just a few bucks.
While the real Tesla Motors is in trouble again, having raised the price of its Roadster by at least $6,700 and screwed some 400 buyers out of their deposits, these tiny replicas should sell just fine. And speaking of replicas, Autoblog Green has it on good authority that the toys are quite convincing, seeing as the Hot Wheels maker "Mattel reportedly had access to electronic files of the Roadster from Tesla." Tesla Hot Wheels are available in Metallic Aqua, Metallic Watermelon, and Metalflake Silver. The fourth, Metallic Grey model is said to come out on Valentines Day.
