Some Internet users thought it was a prank when they saw images of this spoon and this packaging on social networks.

Elon Musk himself tweeted that this was false information. However, this product does not seem to be unreal. Tesla China is used to these original derivative products. Tesla also sells several eccentric items on its American website. It is, for example, possible to obtain an iron to mark the manufacturer’s logo.
