Tesla Is Making Its Own, Limited Edition Carbon Fibre Surfboard

When Elon Musk isn’t selling you electric cars, he’s flogging flamethrowers. And when weaponised fire is off the menu? It’s surfboards. Yes, Tesla wants to sell you a wave rider. Unfortunately, the darn things are already sold out.

The two-metre board is made of S-glass and “Black Dart” carbon fibre and modelled with “a mix of the same high-quality matte and gloss finishes used on all [Tesla’s] cars”.

It also features the company’s logo loud and proud, which is no big surprise.

For those worried whether or not it’ll fit inside their matching Tesla vehicle, don’t fret:

Model S, X and 3 can comfortably accommodate this surfboard on either the inside or outside of the vehicle.

Phew. Still not buying one though.

Not that it matters — even if you were interested in the $US1500 ($2027) surfboard, the limited run of 200 has already sold out.

Elon Musk has you covered.”]
