“Inspired by Cybertruck, the limited-edition Cyberwhistle is a premium collectible made from medical-grade stainless steel with a polished finish. The whistle includes an integrated attachment feature for added versatility,” explains Tesla.
While the Cyberwhistle has sold out in China, there are also alternatives popping up in the form of knockoffs, available for as little as $18 USD, according to screenshots shared by @ray4tesla. As of writing, AliExpress has Cyberwhistle knockoffs from $27 USD before shipping.

Tesla recently launched the Cyberwhistle in the U.S. and Canada, where it also sold out within mere hours of going on sale, for $50 USD ($65 CAD) back in November. The limited-edition product was introduced in China for a similar price of ¥350 ($55 USD) on Monday morning.
According to 42HOW, the Tesla Wireless Portable Charger 2.0, which launched in North America late last month, went on sale in China alongside the Cyberwhistle and is already sold out in all colour options except solid black (there are five in total).
When Tesla will move from launching Cybertruck-themed products to an actual Cybertruck, however, remains to be seen. Earlier this month, Tesla confirmed that a 4-motor variant of the Cybertruck with independent control of each wheel will be available at launch.
At the time of writing, Tesla is expected to start Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas in late 2022.
