In 2019, as an Easter egg for the Cybertruck launch, the rider drove a full-size Cyberquad directly into the pickup trunk. As soon as it appeared, it attracted cheers from the audience.

As the "official" of Cybertruck, the Cyberquad is an ATV (all-terrain) off-road pure electric quad. Not only are the two perfectly integrated, the pickup can also charge the off-road vehicle, has a cyberpunk design language, leaving aside the practical, Elon Musk "spirit" is carried through to the end - cool is right.
Now that Cybertruck's delivery time has been pushed back, Musk has clearly stated in the 2021 Q4 financial report that Cybertruck will still not be delivered in 2022, and Tesla's business focuses on expanding ModelY production capacity and robot research and development. This disappointed the 1.25 million people who booked pickups in advance, including me.
Fortunately, at the end of 2021, Tesla released a children's version of off-road "Cyberquad for Kids" (hereinafter referred to as Cyberquad), which cost $1900. The "toy car" sold out within hours of being on the shelves and has not been restocked so far. Second-hand market prices have also been hyped up. Of course, as the "strongest in the universe" with goods Internet celebrities, Musk can fry red pants into "hard currency".

At present, Cyberquad is only available in the United States, and many domestic users are suffering from no purchase channels, and are even willing to pay a high price of 30,000 yuan without free shipping. What was the Cyberquad experience like? Secretly tell you that riding it to buy vegetables is really convenient and windy.
Cyberpunk style, pull full
"Cyberquad for Kids" is actually a version of a stroller based on a full-size Cyberquad design, which at first glance looks very similar to the original - tough body lines, multi-faceted shape design and through-led strips.

The material used in the chassis is almost all welded steel pipes, which are very strong but also relatively heavy. In terms of strength and durability, it can withstand rough terrain. The upholstered seats are also more comfortable to sit on.
It is very recommended to ride people with social cow X disease, the unique shape and imbalance of the proportion of people and cars (after all, it is a baby carriage) can attract too much attention, once I stopped at the entrance of the supermarket waiting for pickup, many people recognized, "Hey you see, this is not a Tesla motorcycle!" ”

Cyberquad officially gives a maximum load of no more than 150lb (about 68 kg), but I personally think the data is more conservative. After all, I've seen the reaction from Twitter's Tesla shareholder community that the car wasn't bought for kids at all, but was waiting for Cybertruck's "fans" to buy it and dry it — perhaps Tesla didn't expect it.
According to a stroller design, its forward mode has two speed controls, 5mph (8km/h) (reverse speed is also 5mph) and 10mph (16km/h).
Many adult car owners, including me, exceeded this limit, and I tried it, riding without any problems and running without effort.
As a key battery life, Cyberquad is equipped with a lithium battery with a voltage of 36V and a capacity of 288Wh, with a range of up to 15miles (about 24 kilometers), and can be fully charged in 5 hours using a household power supply.
But I felt that the data was still conservative, and I rode it to the supermarket twice, 7 miles, and the battery dropped by only one block.
It is worth mentioning that this baby carriage is actually adjustable in front wheel toe (leg binding), and the original factory is toe out, making the steering more flexible and free. However, if the turn is too urgent, it will really feel like it is easy to roll over, and if you feel dangerous, you can adjust the bolts on the toe arm to reach 0 toe or toe in to improve stability.
The first Tesla for young people, but not the "real" Tesla
Cyberquad for Kids is actually a co-branded product of Tesla and Radio Flyer, an established Toy Company in the United States, which is responsible for manufacturing it. Radio Flyer is a household name for children in the United States, and almost everyone has this red cart.
Radio Flyer has long been selling "Stroller Model Y" and "Baby Carriage Model S", and can become a Tesla "owner" at the age of 2.

The official introduction always "highlights" why a baby carriage can be worth 10,000 2, adjustable suspension, rear disc brakes, thick rubber pneumatic tires... To achieve good handling and maneuverability in different terrain situations. But I don't think Cyberquad for Kids is really a Tesla product in a sense.
First of all, the suspension system of this car is really "pulled down", and the only shock absorber of the whole vehicle is to provide protection for the transmission system. The actual use effect of damping can be said to be "full of cheap feeling", and it can be turned upside down three or four times over a small slope.
The front wheel responsible for steering does not have any suspension system, but the diameter size is slightly larger than the rear wheel to play a part of the energy absorption role, and that's it.
Driving a speed bump in the community feels very bumpy, not to mention really taking it off-road. (Of course, strollers are not officially on the road.) ）
Secondly, this car really "can't brake", and you should be especially careful when crossing the road. Whether it's a two-wheeler or a four-wheeler, the front-wheeled brake system is the main source of braking power, and the Cyberquad doesn't have front-wheel brakes.
The only rear-wheel brake is also a disc brake that is pull-cord braked, similar to the configuration on an entry-level mountain bike from years ago. And this car has no kinetic energy recovery, and the operation mode of "single pedal" does not exist, which makes it difficult for many owners who are accustomed to driving Tesla to adapt.
Later, when I looked through the user manual, I found that cyberquad is equipped with a very old and outdated brush motor, no wonder the noise is so loud, this cost control is really "fatal".
Riding Cyberquad as a child, I grew up driving Cybertruck
There are already many high-priced transfer orders on the Internet, with the highest list price of up to 100,000 yuan. (I knew I would buy two more.) Maybe netizens who can't wait can "copy" one themselves? After all, when I got it, it wasn't a finished product, and I worked on it for more than an hour to assemble nearly 20 parts.
But I have to say that parents take their babies to "carpool" the car together, which is also a selling point of the baby carriage.
Previously, there was the youTube blogger "Rich Rebuilds" who couldn't wait to build a car that mimicked the full-size Cyberquad. Based on a 2008 Yamaha 700 and replaced with a ZERO electric motor, it accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds and has a top speed of up to 100 mph. It is also possible to tow a Hummer up the hill at 20mph.
Cyberquad for Kids is just an "appetizer," and more Tesla "shareholders" are still looking forward to the arrival of Cybertruck and full-size Cyberquad. The Cybertruck model will be produced and delivered at the Austin Gigafactory in Texas. Although the time has been delayed again and again, every once in a while, there is news to satisfy the appetite of fans.
Last month, the latest video "leaked" Cybertruck live-action photos equipped with huge windshields and wipers, removed doorknobs from the side view, obstructed supervision, and compromised with rearview mirrors. Recently, a Seattle startup was filing a patent to turn the Cybertruck into a ship, and the kits that converted into hulls were cleverly designed to fold and store in a pickup tail box when ashore. Good guys, Musk really has to achieve "heaven into the underground sea"?

Going back to "Cyberquad for Kids", in my opinion, it can only be regarded as a cool peripheral, not a technical product in the strict sense, because there is really no technology content. Just good looking! Let's be another Holiday joke that Musk brought to us.
