Tesla is selling a German beer in a Cybertruck bottle

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:08:16 GMT

Few brands are big enough to sell three beers for nearly $100. Elon Musk’s Tesla may be one.The electric car company has launched a limited edition “GigaBier,” a pilsner-style brew made in Germany. Presented in a glossy black sleeve, the bottle is designed to emulate Tesla’s Cybertruck.The beer — brewed in Berlin, where Tesla runs one of its gigafactories — ships to 17 countries in Europe, including France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Switzerland and Norway. A pack of three costs €89 ($97).The company jokes that it is “brewed for cyborgs, made by humans.” Musk first talked about the product in 2021 during an event marking the opening of the Berlin plant.This isn’t Tesla’s first foray into the beverage business. In 2020, it debuted “Tesla Tequila.” The liquor, which came in a lightning-shaped bottle, quickly sold out at $250 apiece. (The GigaBier, which was unveiled on March 30, is still available for purchase.)Related ArticlesBusiness | Tesla racism lawsuit: Elon Musk̵...

It beat Madrid four times in 1982-83 but not in consecutive matches.Barcelona lost 3-1 to Madrid in the first “clasico” of the season in the Spanish league, but since then it won 3-1 in the Spanish Super Cup final, 1-0 in the first leg of the Copa semifinal and 2-1 in the other league match.The last time Barcelona had won three in a row was in 2011-12. Madrid won five consecutive against its rival in a period from 2020-22. Guardiola’s win...
