What do electric cars and mezcal have in common?
Absolutely nothing.
This isn't a punchline. Tesla just released a 43% ABV mezcal from Oaxaca made from espadín and bicuishe agave, and is selling it for $500. Secondary retailers are already selling it for more than $1,099
The spirit is a follow-up to the $1,000 tequila Tesla released last year. Even the bottles for that, without any alcohol inside, are going for more than $100 on eBay right now in this world gone mad.
Does Elon Musk, the world's richest man, really need to be selling mezcal?
