Cyberduck

Jeep drivers have spent years leaving rubber ducks on each other's hoods. EV owners have been waiting for a duck worth leaving. Here it is.

The Cyberduck commits to the joke properly. The body is a stainless-silver effect wedge with the angular window line and the low, flat nose you'd recognize from fifty feet away, and the head sits on top in a full-face helmet with a black visor and a bright orange bill. It's the Cybertruck as a bath-toy silhouette, with none of the corners rounded off. During spa days, Cyberduck will happily hang in the tub with you - they're made by one of the largest rubber duck manufacturers in the world.

Leave one on another EV in a parking lot. Stick one on your dash. Give a pack of ten to the friend who's just taken delivery and let them do the distributing. They're small, they're cheap, and handing one to a stranger is a considerably better way to start a conversation than a folded note under a wiper blade.

Each duck measures 60 x 33 x 38mm (2.36 x 1.30 x 1.50 in) and weighs 15.6g (0.55 oz), so it sits happily on a dash, a desk, or the edge of the bath.

Choose your flock

• Single – one duck, for the dash.
• Pack of two – one to keep, one to give away.
• Pack of ten – for the committed ducker, or a club meet.
