TESLA CYBERQUAD
$1,900 (around £1,435), tesla.com

Oh Tesla. Tesla, Tesla, Tesla. You just had to do
it. Following the Musk-company trend of
releasing something completely barmy – see
The Boring Company’s Not-A-Flamethrower,
which was definitely a flamethrower despite its
name – the Cyberquad is a little mini version of
the company’s still-a-year-away Cybertruck,
designed to be piloted by children. It’s Tesla’s
cheapest vehicle, funnily enough, but still a
sight more expensive than other electric quads.
It’ll go a reasonably safe 10mph and run for
about 15 miles on an eight-hour charge. While
the construction seems reasonably impressive,
with a steel frame, cushioned seat and fully
adjustable suspension, we have to be honest
here: this is one for pre-teen Tesla obsessives
with overcompensating parents only.


T3 SAYS: Simple cyber silliness from the
(current) EV leader.


ONESONIC QUATTRO HD
£190, onesonic.co.uk

The Quattro HD isn’t some high-end audiophile
kit manufactured in one tired guy’s shed for a
limited number of enthusiasts. It’s an honest-to-
goodness mass-market sling-it-around IPX
rated bombastic Bluetooth boombox with
some good features, plenty of loudness, and a
handle. What more do you need? Perhaps four
speakers, two passive radiators, a 7,200mAh
battery that can be used as a powerbank to
keep your phone belting out the tunes, and the
ability to pair with another Quattro HD for an
eight-speaker party? It’ll even work with your
voice assistant if you have your phone hooked
up. It may be the slightest bit rough around the
edges, but this (alongside the bargain £
BB-HD1 noise cancelling cans) cements
OneSonic as a brand to watch.

T3 SAYS: Just be considerate carrying this
around on the bus, okay?
