Key Takeaways
When Christmas shopping for a Tesla fan, gift buyers can browse from the electric car company’s branded merchandise range, including the popular Optimus figurine.
Unfortunately for some, much of the Tesla merch, which includes action figures, accessories, salt and pepper shakers, and even a bottle of Mezcal, is completely sold out.
Some of the most popular items on Tesla’s online store include a $1,500 ride-on Cybertruck for children and a $1,650 “Cyberquad for Kids”—both of which are sold out.
Meanwhile, an Optimus figurine, which was on sale for $40, sold out in a matter of minutes amid surging interest in Tesla’s humanoid robot. After it sold out, listings for the model Optimus appeared on eBay, asking for up to ten times its original retail value.
As of Dec. 9, over half of the items listed in Tesla’s online store’s Lifestyle category were unavailable. However, most Tesla-branded apparel was still in stock.
Besides t-shirts and hoodies, other Tesla products that can still be snapped up for Christmas include various die-cast model cars, with costs starting at $150.
Various Tesla mugs and flasks can also be bought at a lower price point.
In addition to Tesla’s official merchandise, toymakers Hot Wheels and Matchbox have their own figurines. Smaller and less detailed than Tesla’s specially designed scale replicas, these toy cars would make suitable gifts for children.
If merch doesn’t quite cut it, there is always the option of buying a real Tesla. However, anyone who hasn’t ordered one already will likely be waiting until 2025.
The Tesla Model 3 typically has the shortest wait time, averaging less than one month for delivery. However, the Model S and Model X generally have delivery estimates ranging from 1 to 3 months.
Having finally ironed out production challenges that significantly slowed the pace of deliveries, wait times for a new Cybertruck have also fallen to just a couple of months for buyers in North America.
