Tesla’s $40 Tesla Bot Action Figure, featuring over 40 individual parts and 20 points of articulation, has quickly sold out after its release. The miniature figure comes with a charging stand and a “CyberHammer” accessory, allowing fans to own a small-scale version of Tesla’s highly anticipated humanoid robot.
When Elon Musk first introduced the Tesla humanoid robot in 2021, he promised a 5-foot, 8-inch AI assistant. However, the company has yet to deliver on that vision, offering instead a 7-inch action figure that mimics the future robot.
The figure was released on Saturday but sold out in less than 24 hours, according to Teslarati, a site that covers Tesla and SpaceX news. As of Monday, the toy remains out of stock, and potential buyers can only sign up for alerts about future restocks.
Tesla describes the action figure as “Your mini autonomous assistant and humanoid friend.” The toy, which is a 1:10 scale replica, is crafted with precision, including movable joints and detailed parts to closely resemble the company’s Gen 2 humanoid robot.
Along with the action figure, buyers also receive a charging stand and a “CyberHammer” accessory, enhancing its appeal as both a collectible and a playable item.
Resale Prices Surge
Currently, the only way to buy the Tesla Bot Action Figure is through resale platforms like eBay, where prices now range from around $130 to as high as $1,300, marking a massive increase over the original price.
It remains unclear when customers who purchased the figure directly from Tesla will receive their orders or when the toy will be restocked. USA TODAY reached out to Tesla for comment on Monday but did not receive an immediate response.
When Will Tesla’s Humanoid Robots Be Available?
Elon Musk announced during Tesla’s earnings call on July 23 that the company plans to begin limited production of its Optimus humanoid robot in early 2025. However, these initial units will only be used internally at Tesla to address any issues. Musk stated that by the end of 2025, Tesla expects to have several thousand Optimus robots working at its factories. Full-scale production is slated for 2026, at which point the second version of the robot will be available for external customers.
