Tesla Inc TSLA is selling thunderbolt-themed empty bottles in Europe and China after previously selling Tequilla in the same receptacles in the United States.
What Happened: The decanters, launched as collectibles, are available for pre-order on Tesla France’s website for EUR 150 ($176.77) and in China for RMB 779 ($119).
In November, Tesla CEO Elon Musk had touched on the difficulty of distributing liquor to overseas markets in a tweet.
The current listings for the collectibles make no mention of shot glasses.
Why It Matters: In November, Tesla began selling Tesla Tequila in the distinct thunderbolt-shaped 750 ml bottle, which it sold for $250 at the time.
The product was sold out in hours even though it was limited to two-bottles per person, according to the Fast Company.

The bottles also found their way to eBay Inc’s EBAY online marketplace where empty bottles are being sold for as high as $729.
Selling curiosities is a side hobby for Musk, who has sold items such as hats, flamethrowers, kiddie cars, driving gloves, and water bottles.
Price Action: Tesla shares closed nearly 1.6% higher at $640.39 on Thursday and gained 0.35% in the after-hours session.
