Diecast Model Y?

[rosado21pr]

I’m sure this has been asked a few times since the release of the model Y but is there a diecast of the car? I know Tessa doesn’t make one but maybe there’s a third-party out there that does that somebody knows of would love to have a miniature version of my car.

There is a small red Matchbox Model Y but unfortunately it is only sold in a bundle with many others.

Tesla sells the minis on the lifestyle section of their online store. You can also try your local service/sales center, they sometimes give out the diecast minis.

Dang, that is really cool, thanks for sharing link.

*Edit: forget it, they didn't get the front end right

picked this one up at the grocery store for $2

$2 was a good buy. The one I got on Amazon cost almost as much as a real Model Y. I have the Hot Wheels and the Matchbox versions of the 2023 white Y. Now that a 1:18 is available, and isn't the $250 they used to be, do I?

What didn't they get right? Besides that the real car has only one access port on the driver's side, what are you seeing in the model that is not like a real Y?

I've been wanting this since I first saw the other 1:18 Teslas a couple of years ago. Didn't think they would actually make one after all this time. Since it's a P and blue is available, it's a no brainer. Ordered!

 

[K1Woods]

Is it too much to ask for other colors? really wanted a Black one....I would have pulled the trigger in an instance too. I'll pay an extra $15 for the upgrade.

There is an Amazon seller offering a diecast Tesla Model Y (1:24 scale) for ~$32, just saying.

Yes. I have that one. It's actually a fairly nice model, but there are a few things about it that makes it not really in competition with this new 1:18 version for me:
-It's not 1:18 scale (I don't have a preference, just pointing it out)
-It's not official (not a big deal since the "T" logo it has is close enough)
-The red brake calipers are attached to the wheels so they spin around with the wheels. The other stuff is fine, but this bothered me. I'd almost rather it not have the caliper detail than making it spin around the wheel like reflectors on a bike.

Anyway, these models are for shiznits and giggles. $200 is nothing for the average Tesla owner, amirite??

 

[Hoosier-Daddy]

Even at the ridiculous price, I would probably order a 1/18 model of my 3P if it matched my 2023 color, interior and wheels.

I don't understand why there aren't (m)any 1/18 Teslas from mainstream diecast model makers. Gotta be something about few EV drivers being into models.

I saw that and it only comes in 3 colors...hard pass!

same. would totally get a black diecast model y.

Maybe you already figured it out but there are red, white, and gray little ones and a bunch of larger ones of all colors on Amazon.

Don't give Tesla any ideas to milk us some more! Different colors shouldn't cost extra. If a company makes die cast models of their vehicles, then they should also sell the models in the colors of the cars they sell. We want a model of our car in the color of our car.

Well, I got the 1:18 mini-me of my car from Tesla. It's exactly as the online pictures shows, so unfortunately some of the missing/incorrect details are there on the actual product. Overall I'm pretty happy with it though, as it is very nicely detailed and looks good.

The missing/incorrect details as far as I could tell are:
-No rear window defrost lines. I'm pretty sure just about all 1:18 scale diecast cars in this price category have those, so not awesome to have it missing. Hell, I actually have some 1:64 cars that have it. I guess you just pretend that the rear window is so dark you can't see any lines.
-Missing "Dual Motor" emblem in the back. They weirdly skip this for the other cars too.
-Extra tow hook cover on front bumper. I wonder if they confused it with USS???
-No USS detail but the front doors cards doesn't have the latest trim styling, so kind of inconsistent with the real production cars, since I don't think this combination exists. (I have an unofficial 1:24 Model Y that DOES have USS detail, so it's not a case of USS detail being so small that it should just be skipped)
-No Matrix headlights. At least I don't see the round light at the outer edge.
-Center screen is entirely map. Unless one of the pre-V10 UI allowed the entire screen to be map.

I probably missed other details, but whatever.

Anyway, if you're into model cars, I think it is a pretty good representation of the Model Y Performance despite the missing/incorrect details. I'm just glad they finally made one for the Model Y.

I guess I just don't understand how they could have such good detail on certain things in this die cast, yet get the others so blatantly wrong. That's just lazy and someone at Tesla should have caught this prior to their supplier releasing it for sale.
