Seems like an odd product for a car company to sell?


> Volkswagen currywurst is a brand of sausage manufactured by the Volkswagen car maker since 1973. It is manufactured at the company's Wolfsburg plant and sold in restaurants in its six German factories. The currywurst are also sold externally at supermarkets and football stadiums and given away to Volkswagen customers. The sausage is branded as a "Volkswagen Original Part" and has been given the part number 199 398 500 A. The product has been described as the most produced of any of Volkswagen's parts, some 6.81 million sausages being manufactured in 2018. In many recent years the company has produced more sausages than cars. A Volkswagen ketchup is also produced and sold to accompany the currywurst.

Lol? That is news to me. Never seen them in .de all my life.


They likely need cash to keep the company going and Elon knows that given the brand popularity he can use it to sell overpriced Tequila to help build up cash


Agreed. Though maybe it's just a heavy lean into "This thing will drive itself in a few years"


Odder than a faux flame-thrower?
