We received an email from one of our members this morning directing us to the Tesla Collections website. A 1:18 scale diecast P85 Model S from the Tesla marque is now being offered for sale ($210US). The model is meticulously detailed and rightly so, consisting of 270 metal and plastic parts, featuring above average craftsmanship, and the 21″ rollers do help! Model is available in Midnight Silver Metallic with Grey Turbine wheels, with black interior/carbon fiber décor, and Red Multi-Coat with Silver Turbine wheels, with a tan interior/Obeche décor. We’ve reached to Tesla for comment on the manufacturer, stay tuned…
WOW! Brilliant ! I want the red one!
Too late: The red one is already sold out!
It’s made by Paudi Models. They use to manufacture dealer edition models for a lot of car makers. I understood that it is a Paudi because I got their 2014 Mazda 6 and I seen the box of the Tesla (the inside styrofoam) and it is exactly the same design and also in the center it has a plastic tesla badge , exactly like the Mazda. It’s marvelous to see how great progress Paudi Models is making in the background. Kudos to them!
Thanks for the information. Though the packaging may be similar it doesn’t necessarily mean it is from Paudi. Could be a simple at the direct China manufacturer. That being said, I hope I can get one well under $210US!
100% NOT made by Paudi! If Paudi boss told you this is paudi, you can ask him to write you an email and very soon Tesla will issue him a ticket in China. Paudi only produce Infiniti models.
1 more thing, even the Mazda 6 Atenza is not made by Paudi. Paudi is probably the most high profile trader of model cars. But in China, hundreds of companies carry these China dealer models, and these China dealer models are mostly released and published by the Auto Makers themselves and sell thru different channels.
Now if only they would do the Tesla Model X, that would be a sweet addition
