Tesla has finally launched its tequila with a crazy-looking bottle and a very high price tag.
Yet another Elon Musk joke that becomes reallity.
From a fart machine inside Tesla vehicles to flamethrowers, Elon Musk had plenty of strange ideas that sounded like jokes but became reality.
Now add Teslaquila to that list.
Back in 2018, Musk poked fun at Tesla haters with an April Fool’s joke about the company going bankrupt.
As part of the joke, Musk wrote that he was found “passed out against a Tesla Model 3, surrounded by “Teslaquila” bottles, the tracks of dried tears still visible on his cheeks.
Later, the company actually filed a trademark for ‘Teslaquila’, but nothing happened with it until now.
Today, Tesla launched its own tequila, now just called Tesla Tequila, for $250 on its website:
Tesla writes in the description of the product:
“Introducing Tesla Tequila, an exclusive, small-batch premium 100% de agave tequila añejo made from sustainably sourced highland and lowland agaves. Aged for 15 months in French oak barrels and into a hand-blown glass bottle, Tesla Tequila features a dry fruit and light vanilla nose with a balanced cinnamon pepper finish. Best enjoyed as a sipping tequila.”
Tesla appears to have partnered with Nosotros to produce the tequilla and Speakeasy Co, an alcohol branding and distributing company, to distribute the product.
