Tesla Belt Buckles

[MP3Mike]

It appears that the "Don't mess with Tesla" belt buckles are finally starting to make it to eBay. Though a bunch of them are knock-offs, and not the real thing.

Real thing: Genuine Tesla Gigafactory Giga Texas Belt Buckle -LIMITED- Cybertruck Elon Musk | eBay

Knock-off: TESLA - Belt Buckle "Dont Mess w/ Texas", FAST SHIP (cyberwhistle) | eBay

The knock-offs seem to be really close, the main difference being that the star is raised on the knock-off while it doesn't appear to be on the really thing. (And the attachment loop on the back is different as well.)

And it is now available directly from Tesla:

These ones on eBay must be from the folks at the plant. I believe they were passed out at giga Texas. I ordered one from Tesla but it's not arrived yet and no confirmation of shipping as of yet either.

Most of the eBay listings say "confirmed order" so they are just pre-selling the one they order from the Tesla shop. The real ones that were/are sold on eBay probably are from Giga Texas workers. (Then of course there are the fake ones; that started cheap, ~$30, then went to >$500, and are probably now almost worthless. Well assuming people notice that they aren't the real ones.)
