As you might imagine, there's already a plethora of Cybertruck models & toys, but here's the first 1/18 replica I've seen. It looks good but the frunk does NOT open. These are available now for about $300.

does one really even NEED a trunk on your brand new truck ????? what a silly car 🤨

To me it's a waste of $300....but hey, each to his own!

I find the styling absolutely hideous...but the engineering is quite amazing. When not shackled to the existing parameters, its really cool to see what the engineers can come up with. Just wish the design side had had the same success. As far as the model, definitely not at that price point (or any price point, really 😉 )
A great video from Hagerty & Jason Cammisa on the Cybertruck, if you're interested.

It's a butt-ugly truck, which means I want one! However, $300 is a bit steep. I might have to bite the bullet and get one anyway.
BTW, you can get one from Tesla for $225.

@marty-johnson Awesome!
Thanks for the link Marty. I hadn't yet checked Tesla directly but have purchased from them in the past. What's nice is that if something is sold out, they will notify you when they restock. That's how I purchased my Tesla sedan.
I'm not interested in this Cybertruck replica ONLY because the frunk doesn't open. Perhaps another manufacture (Autoart, Kyosho, Dealer Edition ) will make one. 🤔 🤨

I like how the description says that every curve is replicated. I really don't see any curves on that model. It just looks like Origami to me. It's all angles, folds and flat surfaces. 😁

Elon doesn't fly under the radar. Not with his ego LOL.

@100ford2003 By all accounts, he's a great visionary, engineer & designer with tremendous drive. But sadly, all that money has turned him into a rather unpleasant, crude & mean-spirited person. He freely admits, "Who cares? I'll say & do what I want, when I want."

every curve is replicated.
Let's review: The windshield has a slight curve, the frunk, the steering wheel, the tires, small areas of the seats, and some of the wiring.
That's about it. 😏 😏 😏

I think he's a genius basically and I don't fault him for anything so I admire him. He has the biggest 'cojones' of any automobile manufacturer I've ever seen or heard of lately.. And when you have that much money and hard work and development behind you what the heck go for it. At least there's no 'coke' involved like with DeLorean.

Well, dayum... I'm an idiot for not noticing those 'fine, fine' curves....😂

@100ford2003 Here's a few more 1/18 pics for ya! DESPITE NOT having an opening frunk, I might just have to get this anyway..... the more I look at this model, the MORE I want it!
What's not to love? I suspect MANY Police versions/commercial applications will be roaming our country within 3-5 years!
