This newest shop addition may not be a limited-edition Tesla Tequila set or GigaBier, but the "Ludicrously Cozy Throw" boasts the official branding of the world's most valuable automaker. That automatically makes it cool and desirable. The now-Texas-based company is ruling the electric vehicle (EV) sector and intends to help you stay warm when the battery's too low and the A/C is impossible to use. Here's what it'll cost you.
Tesla launched a brand-new product – a blanket made from recycled polyester chenille. It measures 72x50 inches and is cream. The throw includes the company's emblem in gray on both sides as a discreet patch. But the large lettering logo in the Dies-designed font makes its origin obvious. These simple additions make it immediately recognizable; everyone will know you have an official product.
The automaker says the throw is "infinitely soft" and describes the blanket as a "hand-linked jacquard knit" cloth featuring a cream base.
The blanket costs $140. Believe it or not, some spend more than $200 for these soft throws. Tesla's price may seem pretty high at first, but it could be worth a thought solely because it's made of recycled plastic. Repurposing this material is vital for the efforts against global warming. Moreover, if you're an investor, you could help Tesla improve its margins. Q3 is about to end soon!
Polyester is the third-most-common form of plastic currently in use. Every time you interact with a water bottle that's not made from glass, you touch polyester. Its scientific name is polyethylene terephthalate or PET. It's cheap and can be easily molded to take whatever shape. Once cooled, it can keep its form even when the liquid inside may release carbonic acid, unsuccessfully forcing an expansion of the vessel.
But when it comes to clothes or blankets, polyester chenille is the most recommended one. It's known for its softness but also for being durable and stronger.
Some Tesla enthusiasts said on platforms like Twitter or Facebook that they would rather pay $140 for bird's eye view. Fret not, however, because the feature will reportedly be implemented after the newest software release reaches Hardware 4 vehicles. But the helpful function was first promised in 2020. Later, the bird's eye view was rumored to come with the wide release of Hardware 4-equipped EVs, and, at the time of writing, it is still nowhere to be found.
But maybe Tesla has a workaround for the missing front bumper camera that should enable the abovementioned feature. Until then, don't forget to check out the newest shop addition – the soft throw that will keep you warm and cozy at home, at a Supercharger, or on a trip while sitting in the passenger seat. It may also become useful when FSD Beta is finally ready to take over and navigate roads by itself with no required driver supervision.
