Tesla bed made for cats in China hits the market

Published

on

Named the “Cybertruck Multifunctional Corrugated Cat Litter,” this cat-friendly creation features an angled design reminiscent of Tesla’s upcoming vehicle.

Priced at 89 Chinese Yuan, approximately $12, the cat bed is described as having a futuristic shape, a semi-open cat litter area, and thick corrugated paper embedded inside to cater to the needs of cats.

The Chinese version of Tesla’s website provides the product listing, which details that the cat bed includes a built-in “scratch board” made of “thickened and moisture-proof corrugated paper.” Assembly by the owner is required.

This unique addition to Tesla’s merchandise collection is consistent with the company’s history of offering diverse products that only tangentially relate to its primary electric vehicle business.

Tesla tequila

Tesla is already known for selling its own brand of “Tesla Tequila,” which boasts a description of “dry fruit and light vanilla nose with a balanced cinnamon pepper finish.”

Priced at a staggering $420 per bottle, a nod to Musk’s well-known affinity for cannabis culture, the product is currently out of stock.

Among Tesla’s other offbeat offerings is a stainless steel “Cyberwhistle,” available for purchase using dogecoin, Musk’s favored cryptocurrency meme token.

Additional unconventional products on the Tesla website include a $100 “Giga Texas Belt Buckle” with the slogan “Don’t mess with Tesla,” a $60 Tesla umbrella, and a $70 Tesla branding iron.

Weird product launches

Tesla isn’t the sole company associated with Elon Musk that embraces peculiar product launches.

The Boring Company, Musk’s venture focused on tunnel-digging and public transit, previously gained attention in 2018 by selling $500 flamethrowers, which quickly sold out.

After experiencing several delays, Tesla recently completed production of its first-ever Cybertruck at its Austin plant. The Cybertruck is anticipated to become available for purchase later this year, with Musk aiming to manufacture over 250,000 units annually based on demand.

Tesla encountered a setback this week with the unexpected departure of its long-serving CFO Zachary Kirkhorn, who was often regarded as a potential successor to Musk. Chief Accounting Officer Vaibhav Taneja is taking over Kirkhorn’s responsibilities.

Chinese youth swap LinkedIn for Tinder to find a job

Published

on

As LinkedIn withdraws from the Chinese market, young professionals and job seekers are turning to an unlikely platform in their quest for employment: Tinder.

This shift comes as a local news outlet recently reported the departure of LinkedIn from China.

Tinder, primarily known as a dating app, is now being repurposed by Chinese youth as a job-searching tool. Users are leveraging the platform’s network and communication features to connect with potential employers and explore career opportunities.

This unconventional job-hunting trend has gained momentum, showcasing the adaptability and resourcefulness of the younger generation in China when faced with unexpected circumstances.
