Model S? Again? Matchbox likes to take models out of the program after they have run in two or three versions, to reintroduce them at later points in time. The baseplate always shows the year of initial introduction, with the trade receiving the "new" ones a year later. Tesla's Model S is now also one of these "well-aged" zinc die-cast molds, but when we opened the package, we paused: Currently, the new models are being delivered with a base engraving "2022," which the Model S also bears.

Additionally, there is an attachment on the trunk lid that we were unfamiliar with and inside: Actually, the Yoke steering wheel! So they really made an effort to put some serious money into creating a "new" Model S mold here. Even though only freaks or hardcore collectors might notice the differences...

Also not maximally "efficient": Almost all Tesla models are developed twice by Mattel for Matchbox and Hot Wheels – collectors will be pleased.

What does that mean?

Tesla remains present in children's rooms and collectors' display cases: Starting from 1.29 euros at Action or 1.50 euros at Tedi, the new Model S with yoke steering wheel is available for purchase.
