Something about levitating gadgets intrigues many people, no matter their age. Perhaps because the anti-gravity property of such accessories is perfect for your desk, office cabin, or living room shelf. Be it a speaker, desk lamp, planter or mug – if it’s levitating, it sure is alluring. Now, add to that list a Cybertruck, if you are a fan of the all-electric pickup truck.
Tesla has unveiled the Levitating Cybertruck for fans who like the unconventional futuristic looks of the pickup truck which has mixed reviews from automotive pundits out there. As a neutral audience you either love it or hate it. Either way, it has made all the news in the last year. No wonder the levitating replica of the Cybertruck sold out within minutes of its release on the official Tesla shop.
Designer: Tesla
The 1:24 scale model of the element-proof truck comes minus any wheels and levitates over a magnetic levitation base. All the cool levitation magic is done using an electromagnetic field just at the right intensity to make it possible to hover the object in mid-air. This levitating Cybertruck looks super cool and something right out of a sci-fi den. Of course, geeks will love its silver-coated form just like the real one, and the fact that it has functional headlights illuminated by 14 LED lights and lifelike taillights.
On your desk, the accessory measuring 8.98 inches in length, 3.28 inches in width, and 2.36 inches in height can be a fidget toy as you can give a slight spin to set it in motion. To set it up, all you have to do is, place the base on a nonmetallic flat surface, position the Cybertruck over the base until you feel the magnetic resistance, and place it around the center. Once the truck is balanced you can see the mid-air hovering magic.
The limited edition collectible is priced at $250 and we’re hoping it comes back again in stock so that you can grab one for your work setup. Tesla however has not hinted when this steeply priced desk accessory will stock up again, if it’ll ever!
