Can’t quite afford a new Tesla Model S? Well now there is a far cheaper version.

American toy company Radio Flyer – famous for their little red wagons – has launched a kids-sized Model S, complete with lithium ion batteries and a sound system.

The model starts at US$499, but can be customised with options such as a cover, silver wheels, a personalised plate and a larger battery.

The detail is impressive, with the charger plugging into the same spot as on the full-sized Model S. It is available in three Tesla colours.
