$Tesla(TSLA.US)$ CEO Elon Musk has a knack for selling weird gadgets that often have little to do with the company's main business. One example is a $50 "Cyberwhistle" a collectible whistle in the form of Tesla's Cybertruck, and it's already sold out.

After 'Cyberwhistle', a 'MiniCyberquad' is launched by Tesla

$50 is a lot for a whistle, though it is a nice-looking whistle that at least has some relation to Tesla.

Musk might have seen the $19 Apple Cloth, though, and sensed a solid marketing angle.

Don't waste your money on that silly Apple Cloth, buy our whistle instead."
—— Musk tweeted.

It appears to have worked, as the Cyberwhistle sold out just hours after going on sale. It looks like Tesla will restock it at some point, though, according to the Tesla store description.

Today, Tesla launched a new EV —— a $1,900 'Cyberquad' for kids.

This 'MiniCyberquad' is available to purchase on Tesla's site for $1,900 — a steep price relative to your average Power Wheels, but the lowest-priced vehicle in Tesla's existing lineup by far. And the Cyberquad's materials are a cut above your average battery electric kid car, with a "full steel frame", along with cushioned seating and fully adjustable suspension.

Mooers, what do you think of 'Cyberwhistle' and 'MiniCyberquad'? Will you buy them?
