While Votes Were Being Counted, Tesla Released a Tequila

The $250 bottles sold out instantly

Amidst the chaos of last week's election, Elon Musk began selling Tesla-branded Tequila online. Check out the bottle design:

Unlike Musk's hocking of flamethrowers, which were simply rebadged roofing torches, the Tesla Tequila is legit: It's "an exclusive, small-batch premium 100% de agave tequila añejo made from sustainably sourced highland and lowland agaves," produced by Nosotros Tequila.

Despite the $250-a-pop price tag, the entire batch sold out within minutes of being posted online. And as you'd expect, the bottles are now being sold--empty--on eBay for up to $1,200.

What I really want to know is: Who designed that bottle, and what is the base made out of? The website says only that the glass is hand-blown. Do you reckon the base is real metal, or plastic?

The base is probably made of ten individual sheets of metal that requires extensive rework to make right, and fit-up between base and bottle varies widely in the production quantities. /s

When will it be official that Tesla is the new cars for d-bags? It feels like this might be the Pennsylvania call for it.
