The drink, which retails for $250Â on Tesla's website, comes in a lightning-shaped bottle and is produced by Nosotros Tequila, a spirits brand in Southern California.Supplies of the product quickly sold out on Thursday, even as orders were limited to two bottles each and only made available to customers in certain US states.Tesla launched its tequila product on Thursday.
The project has been in the making for years.
