Radio Flyer now makes a Tesla Model S for kids
- 8 years ago
It's a great time to be a kid if you like tiny, expensive, electric vehicles.
Last week, a company called Actev debuted the Arrow Kart, an extremely smart go-kart with a top speed of 12 miles per hour.
This week, Tesla's getting into the mix with a tiny Model S made by Radio Flyer, the 99-year-old company known for its bright red wagons and tricycles.
The $500 "Model S for Kids," as it's being called, is basically a scale model of Tesla's popular electric sedan.
It's made for children ages three to eight and has a weight capacity of 81 pounds, and tops out at 6 miles per hour.
(The speed can be limited to just 3 miles per hour with the flip of a switch, much like how Power Wheels operate.)
The Model S for Kids charges in just three hours, and also utilizes swappable batteries (something Tesla has had trouble with on the real Model S).
