Just buy your kid a good quality pedal bike [0], and take the pedals off. That way they can learn to use the brakes, and when you put the pedals on, they will quickly learn to cycle it. Took my daughter an afternoon. [0] e.g. https://us.earlyrider.com/products/belter-14-kids-bike-age-3...
4T valuation is incoming. there are currently 600M kids between 0-4 ages. Imagine each paying $100 for this bike, we are talking about $60B revenue. On top of that Tesla is planning to sell accessories and subscription to these bikes, which will grow their revenue by another $120B We haven't even started talking about how experience with these bikes will shape these kids and eventually they will buy Tesla in the futu…

Am I just out of the loop but is $200+ for a children's bike absolutely insane?
Another HN user suggested a bike that costs $650, almost three times what the Tesla bike costs. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49003333 So no, I would not consider $225 "completely insane". Disclaimer: I have no ties with, financial interest in, or own any products of Tesla.

This is a balance bike meant to attract the dads who are fans of the brand rather than a balance bike meant to be good for kids. First the handlebar is too large for small hands and comes with no grips, second the top tube is too wide to be comfortable between the legs and the whole frame is just edges. If you want a good balance bike look for brands like prevelo [0] or woom [1] who have been designing kid bikes for…
>> attract the dads who are fans of the brand I'm surprised they haven't yet released a cyber-grill.

....Why?!
Cybertruck is the only released new product that made some waves, and it failed, did not meet sales targets, definitely does not meet any requirements for a truck. Less than 100K sold, 20% of which to Musk's own companies (https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2026-05-05/how-many-c...).

It is completely in-line with their strategy to become a lifestyle brand for tech-savvy conservatives: https://shop.tesla.com/category/lifestyle (That's pretty normal for a car company - many car brands have a lifestyle department).
I was just thinking, I'm surprised they haven't started making ludicrously expensive road bikes with like 9-spoke wheels and oval carbon-fibre frame tubes, and not just bluetooth gears but brakes too because it saves a gram off the frame weight. The overlap between Tesla arseholes and roadie arseholes is probably considerable. No, Preston, the yellow lambswool jumper that cost as much as a second-hand Fiat is not mak…
