Tesla Tequila.. minus the tequila

[Durzel]

The famous Tesla Tequila is available to buy in the UK..

Decanter

Inspired by Tesla Tequila, the Tesla Decanter is the perfect addition to your home bar. With a lightning bolt silhouette, each hand-blown bottle holds up to 750 mL of your favorite spirit. Featuring both a Tesla wordmark and T logo in gold and cradled atop a polished metal stand for prominent...

...albeit without any actual alcohol in it, for £130.

I'm torn between thinking it's not the worst way to spend that sort of money, on a bit of objet d'art, assuming Tesla haven't made like a million of them. At the same time it's £130 for a glass decanter.

Interestingly empty ones are going for like $300 odd on eBay USA...

Just ordered one for a laugh

I have also ordered one. If it is anything like the US 'with tequila' bottles they will sell out fast, and will probably be selling at a premium on eBay shortly after

By all accounts the decanter is hand blown glass and well made and balanced. It will make a nice conversation piece.

Still available so they must have quite a lot of them. Shame they are empty though

While folk are (gullible) prepared to pay that sort of money for a naff logo bit of glassware there's no hope of tesla spare prices/repairs becoming realistic. With no apologies for everyone I've just offended. Once travel is permitted again I suggest you all drive to Czechia and see some truly stunning lead crystal being hand cut and commission yourelves something unique and truly beautiful (for a lot less). Or some of the superb hand engraved Austrian crystalware.

I lived in Prague for 10 years and my wife is Czech. We have a nice collection of Moser crystal and yet this Tesla bauble still enticed me. I’ve wasted money on sillier things.

What an absolute waste of money. Who uses decanters these days anyway?

With that in mind, I've ordered one too as a birthday present to myself

 

[Steely]

I have a 1950's united dairies milk bottle, empty of course.
Would make a lovely conversation piece and can be used as a vase.
If anyone is interested circa £250 let me know.

Pity you can only order 3! So that is one to keep and 2 to sell at £200 each on eBay and you are £10 up......

Purchasers need to read the small print...

• Only top up to 100% for extended usage immediately afterwards. NEVER leave empty.
• Idle fees apply: For every additional minute the Decanter remains full, it will incur an idle fee. If it is drunk within 5 minutes, the fee is waived. Idle fees only apply when the Decanter is at 50% capacity or more. Idle fees double when the Decanter is at 100% capacity.
• Full Self Control not available in all circumstances.
• Phantom Breaking could occur at any time.

The only dimensions I can find are the box courtesy of Teslarati: "comes in a box with rough dimensions of 8.5 inches x 14 inches x 4 inches". Based on that I estimate the bottle to be about 6.5" wide and 12" tall, or about 13" tall in the stand.

Kinda surprised that it’s still in stock. I think if one has bought it purely as an investment or to sell on eBay or whatever then that might not work out well.

I bought one because it’s pretty cool and I bought FSD so I’m used to wasting money.

They are sold out in China. Clearly not enough of us ‘gullible’ buyers in Europe

 

[Mark-R]

Even though the decanters are still available from Tesla, they are already starting to appear with a hefty markup on eBay

 

[Mark-R]

Although the eBay scalpers were a bit premature, the Tesla Decanter is now sold out in the UK (and the EU by the looks of things).
