We take the $100 Cybertruck R/C for a spin
Ғылым және технология
Mattel is selling a toy version of the Cybertruck for $100, and Bridget Carey gets an early look at the R/C vehicle. Pre-orders for the new collectable begin Friday May 21 at 8 a.m. PT (11 a.m. ET) at MattelCreations.com.
My test drive didn't last long when it broke in the first five minutes of playing with it. I reached out to Mattel about it, and the company shared this statement: "The version provided to CNET was an early-phase product sample. Fans will receive a final version of the latest 1:10 Hot Wheels R/C Cybertruck to ensure they can enjoy the best play experience possible."
So things may be different when the final models ship to customers, which Mattel says will be by September 15. (And maybe when I send back my model to Mattel, they can investigate any issues.)

Not sure why , but this series gives a smile on my face, that I'm very much looking for during my tiresome shift.
If anyone buys this, first thing to do is open the dif up and superglue it with the best superglue you know. Only on the parts that connects to the cvd by the screws and leave everything loose as is. Mine has not had any problems after I did this as seems like the cvd that connects to the pinion gear is built weak. Hope this helps 👍

Sorry, it’s called differential outdrive that has a screw connecting to the gear inside the main.
Big props to Mattel for sending the collectors edition as well

Wouldn’t you be able to take the body and put in on a tougher and faster rc underbody?

First 5 minutes sold me, the next 3 minutes immediately un-sold me. The first RC car with non-movement as a feature & not a bug.
This series are really adorable make me smile :-))
I love Bridget! heart emoji.
damn $100 rc broke from just changing directions?? seems like POS. Good luck for anyone trying to get a refund or replacement, mattel collectors site took 2 months to respond to a damaged collectible they sent me (the candy striper vans). I literally had to chargeback before they returned my email

@sirsemper Mattel customer service is a joke. They won’t even replace for crappy shipping. I got my rotsun car and it came In pieces. SMH at Mattel
3 hours of charging for 20 minutes of use? Sounds just like a real Tesla!
I would go for the collectors edition. But, I can’t seem to find it anywhere
i'm excited to get mine. It's been more than a year since i ordered it, i'm waiting for my friend from another country to bring it.
Please do an off-roading review of the cybertruck when it comes out.
Wait did she say 3 hours of charging for only 25 minutes of use????

It's not more than 40 minutes of charge most likely.
Totally missed that the tailgate has the ramp that goes down on the $400 one. So you can ride the atv up into that tailgate.
She has got to be the Best review -her . The Optimus Prime toy review was hilarious. (She's cute. too)
I read in a lot of reviews people having a similar problem! I hope it gets fixed :(

Did you end up buying it?
i like you style of reviewing keep with the good cnet work😉
7:52 "I always remember THE 5 MINUTES we had" 😮😬😂🤣
Wait you got the single motor configuration? if it was dual motor you would have kept moving. lol Also, did you check for panel gaps? haha
where did you get the 2nd cybertruck . kan you send me a link
Elon Musk : Hire that hot wheels guys for my next project 😂🤣
I like how she plays it in dirt and not worrying about breaking❤️
does it include broken window stickers
Either the pinion gear is loose or the Differential or main gear are stripped
Did you get a marble and throw it at the door window? You have to check the strength of the glass, y'know!
I love how much she loves it like a kid
Great video 📹👍it's really cool I have one too! The detail is very nice compared to other 1 10 trucks.
Watching adults play with remote controlled cars is why I’m here
What size batteries does the controller require?
It looks better as a toy than as a real car😹 I actually want this lol
That looks fantastic - we play more down in the 1:64 scale but could be converted!! Have an awesome day! From HWFAH (Stunts, Jumps, Corkscrews, Railslides and Collections)
that's the difference between a toy and a real hobby grade remote controlled vehicle. I was shamed for being into RC when I was younger and just look at the industry now, youtubers making a good living playing with a child's toy made for adults. good video, thank you
That collector's edition seems to have an alignment issue!

There are settings to tinker with that but I just wanted to jump into it and have fun.
Just bought one for $50 NZD (aprox$35USD), regularly $240NZD ($165USD), as a faulty product. "Remote not working". Thought might be a simple fix, opened remote, to find "-ve wire" floating loose. Solder and part of printed circuit board track had broken and come away with solder on the end of the wire. Simple fix to re-solder wire to board, but shows that circuit board is made cheaply as well.
Where did you buy it?
Where can u purchase this
She actually reviewed the car like a pro RC reviewer ! Props !
Can the glass get tested for strength
License and registration, please, Ma'am.
How do you get that I’m so jealous😢
Being USB powered is amazing...i can put a power bank in the back and connect it, MORE POWA BABY!
Best CNET host / comedian :)
LOL Kim Java ( like Tesla ) played with one a few weeks ago.
That baby got power but that baby got back!
But is it bulletproof?
Thanks for breaking it for us so we get a better model 👏👏👏👍🤣😊
Found one but didn’t have controller meter doesn’t have just the controller could someone respond to me and tell me we’re to get the controller I have the same one model gyd25r2
Mine broken 5 mins as well after I tried to have cybertruck climb the slide. It couldn’t move.
Flux capacitor in the back....she's the real deal !! 😜😁
Im still waiting for mine its been 3 months 😔
I want the collector's edition.
Bridget is so awesome ❤️
I NEED IT NOW
The actually did a great job with the styling, impressive.
I just bought one myself sent it right into a curb at full speed and it didn’t break at all this thing is amazing
6:08 Gentle? Damn it I was thinking of buying one only to play with it on dirt and sand
Bridget loves POWER , confirmed ;-)
Oddly enough, I actually have had sharks and horses in my truck at one point or another - just not at the same time!
Yea ill wait for them to hopefully sell the expensive one that doesn't break.
3:27 Please be careful with it 😭 My blood pressure is rising whe you hold it and raised it like that
A nice collectors item as the PRODUCTION Cybertruck will NEVER look like that.
That looks cool.
Just got mine, used in on a normal street, no jump anything, the front suspension just snapped on the first used which got the car to flip and and it's full on scratch and un-usable... The 100$ version is very very cheap. :(
When CNET didn't have any to review
Bring her to mainstream tech reviews, She is flawless & cute 🥰
Bridget I love you! Damn great down to earth personality. First video I saw love you most the retractable lightsaber. Squishy tape of 2 plenty
Hi can i buy it from you ma’am?
Kills the battery up too 80 percent when you drive it off-road dope tho
This is the only Real cyber truck that will ever hit the streets
Price
Honey I Shrunk The Truck
I really love these personal reviews
a wonderful shot when you pause it at @6:34
Omg I love this this gal and her toys review. 😂
It got sold out already :(
WOW nice rc cybertruck! Does it have any suspension ?
OMG the premium one has cracked glass lol
100 bucks for a car that breaks after 2 minutes? Oh dear me… well… at least it looks good 😂😂😂😂😂
That's actually good for $100
She drop tested a cybertuck lmao
if you think this sucks... wait until the RC community mods it with performance RC parts. because medium size 5 axis CNC machines and 3d printers are a real.
the toy version is indeed cheap looking and fragile. You might be able to fix it after opening up the cover. Maybe an axial or gear break. But not sure if you can get spare parts. Lucky it is cheap. The collector's edition is still quite slow, not sure how much more durable.
This a toy for adults , I want one I'll be good with the first version
The only Cybertruck you are ever going to get xD
This toy is more real of the "real" Cybertruck
that would be funny if it ran on gasoline.
Dañaste la transmisión 😂
I didn’t know hot wheels making r/c
i got one but my dog HATES IT
I’m sure my children want one
but the 400 dollar is pretty good :)
Already made a deposit 💪
