Tesla owners who are dog owners too will be familiar with Tesla automobile’s “Dog Mode”. This mode keeps the dogs safe and cool when you need to leave the dog(s) in the vehicle. When in “Dog Mode”, the huge ass display will also display a message to inform any horrified passersby peeking in that the AC is on so there’s nothing to worry about.
In addition to the message, the screen also displays the current cabin temperature and an animation of an adorable balloon dog. And the balloon dog is what we want to tell you about. It has materialized as a real object which you can buy. That’s right, folks. It’s Dog Mode, IRL.
Inspired by the dog mode character used in Tesla vehicles, the Tesla Dog Mode is created using a rotocast molding process to reproduce every detail. It does not move like the animation, though, obviously. There are two versions, the regular-size Dog Mode which measures 7.8 inches tall, and the Dog Mode Mini which is an adorable 2.7 inches tall.
The Dog Mode figure sells for US$50 while the Mini goes for US$35. But at the time of this post, the Dog Mode is sold out. You can sign up to be notified of restocking if you desire.
