Four strange Tesla products sold over the years

30 Jan 2023 10 mins to read
Tesla is known for its mission to reduce carbon emissions with a series of eco-cars, household batteries and solar panels. However, that hasn't stopped Tesla CEO Elon Musk from introducing a few odd products over the years.
Four strange Tesla products sold over the years
Summary:

Tesla doesn't pay for traditional advertising, which appears to be a marketing gimmick (or Musk's humor). They created several products to attract attention. All of these products fall short of Tesla's emission reduction mission, but that doesn't stop the company from having fun. In fact, emissions definitely increase when using these products.

The four odd Tesla products sold over the years are:

The four odd Tesla products sold over the years are:

1. Tesquila.

In April 2018, Elon Musk posted on Twitter a series of images of Tesquila bottles (Tesla + Tequila), as well as a series of captions he wrote that read. 

Musk had fun with his critics.

Unfortunately, this product never made it to the public due to regulatory issues.

2. Surf board.

Also in 2018, Tesla produced and sold a $1,500 surfboard. The surfboards were available in black and red and featured the company logo on the front and back. The company partnered with a small surfboard manufacturer and produced only about 200 goggles, after which production ceased.

3. Flame

Technically, this product was manufactured and sold to Elon Musk's drilling company.

The flamethrower is not having caused some controversy about safety, this is certainly an interesting product; for $600, buyers can shoot a fireball over 15 meters away. Again, this product has generated several reactions due to safety issues.

4. Short shorts

In another joke with the critics, Tesla introduced the shorts in 2020. By now, you may have begun to notice Musk's walking humor. Shortly after Tesla's share price rose from $300 to $1,500 in just one year, the shorts went on sale.

What do you think of them? With these strange products, Tesla and Tesla's core product range has definitely captured the attention of the world.

Come to think of it, other car manufacturers spend millions of dollars on TV and radio ads, but Tesla hasn't spent a dime. And yet, somehow, Tesla is the most talked about car company. Maybe it's their new electric vehicle technology or a custom product line.

The Cyberquad looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. Too bad it's not street legal.
The Tesla surfboard is so minimalist, it's almost artistic. But I still don't get why anyone would pay that much for a surfboard.
I heard that the flamethrower was actually a fundraiser for the boring company's tunnel project. So I guess it was all for a good cause?
The Tesla surfboard was only $1,500! I guess that's a steal compared to their cars.
It's crazy how much attention the Cybertruck got, just because it looks so different from every other truck on the market.
Who would buy a Tesla tequila bottle for $250? Like, what's the appeal?
I think Tesla makes these weird products to show that they're not just a car company, but a lifestyle brand.
Out of all the strange Tesla products, the Cyberquad is the one I would actually buy. It looks like so much fun.
I wonder if they'll keep making weird products, or if they'll stick to just making cars from now on.

Yo, did y'all know that Tesla sold a surfboard? Like, what's the point?
Who knew Elon Musk had such a sense of humor? The boring company blowtorch is hilarious.

I can't believe Tesla made a flamethrower. That's gotta be some kind of safety hazard, right?

I'm still trying to figure out why anyone needs a flamethrower. Like, is it just for fun?

Okay, but imagine showing up to the beach with a Tesla surfboard. Talk about making a statement.

I bet Elon Musk just sits in his office, brainstorming weird product ideas for hours on end.
