Tesla CEO Elon Musk is urging customers to choose the company's $ 50 Cyberwhistle over Apple's Polishing Cloth, which is available at a rather high $ 19 price tag.
On the product page for this whistle that Musk posted on Twitter , it is said to offer a limited edition stainless steel whistle with the same design as the company's Tesla Cybertruck.
What do we know about Tesla's cyber whistle?
As mentioned above, it is inspired by Cybertruck, and the limited edition Cyberwhistle is a premium collectible, crafted from medical grade stainless steel with a polished finish. The whistle also has a built-in mount function for added versatility.
This comes after Cupertino giant Apple announced a $ 19 polishing cloth in October that was the subject of ridicule over its price tag. Musk recently expressed how funny he found the product by tweeting a comparison between Tesla's product and Apple's polishing cloth.
