Within hours of Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiling the company's latest product—a $50 Cyberwhistle—the "collectible" sold out.

"Blow the whistle on Tesla," Musk tweeted on Tuesday in a thinly veiled nod (or threat) to former employees who have attempted to do just that.

The Cybertruck-inspired, limited-edition accessory, made from "medical-grade stainless steel with a polished finish," includes an integrated attachment feature for added versatility. Unfortunately, the $50 accessory is out of stock online and before many people even knew it existed.

"Don't waste your money on that silly Apple Cloth," Musk tweeted, heckling the $19 microfiber towel designed to clean any Apple display, "buy our whistle instead."

Sure, $50 is a lot for a whistle, but die-hard Tesla fans will shell out money for anything with that stylized "T" logo. Remember that fully customizable $499.99 ride-on Tesla Model S for Kids? How about the $150 Tesla lightning-bolt decanter (Tesla Tequila not included)? The company also quickly sold out of its $1,500 branded surfboard in 2018. It's unclear whether the manufacturer will refresh its supply of Cyberwhistles.
