Tesla's $250 Tequila runs out in hours

Tesla chief executive Elon Musk made good on his promise to sell "Tesla Tequila" - two years after teasing the plan in a tweet, and the $250 (£196) bottles quickly flew off the virtual shelf.

Pictures revealed a sleek, lightning bolt-shaped bottle, a lot different than what Musk teased when he touted the Tequila.


The Silicon Valley billionaire is no stranger to selling quirky products in limited one-time sales.

He sold flamethrowers at $500 a piece in early 2018, raising $10 million for his high-speed tunnel venture The Boring Company. Musk has also sold 50,000 Boring Company hats previously.

He tweeted the idea of 'Teslaquila' on April Fool's day in 2018, which many of his followers considered to be a joke. However, Musk's efforts to trademark the drink in October of that year were frowned upon by Mexico's tequila producers.

Mexico's Tequila Regulatory Council had at the time argued the "name 'Teslaquila' evokes the word Tequila ... (and) Tequila is a protected word."

According to the website, Tesla Tequila will be available only in selected US states, including New York, California and Washington.

The website describes the drink, produced by Nosotros Tequila, as agave tequila añejo aged in French oak barrels, "featuring a dry fruit and light vanilla nose with a balanced cinnamon pepper finish."

British households deliver 'record-breaking' Christmas sales despite grocery inflation

Christmas 2024 marked a milestone for British households, delivering record-breaking take-home sales of £13.8 billion, an increase of £0.5 billion or 3.4 per cent compared to the previous year over the four weeks to 29 December 2024, Kantar reported on Monday (27).

However, while spending grew, the volume of goods purchased remained flat, reflecting the ongoing impact of inflation on consumer behaviour.

Grocery inflation, though lower than in previous festive seasons, remained a significant factor and was at 3.7 per cent last December.
