Elon Musk's unique brand of merchandise has no shortage of fans, and his latest product is no exception.

The billionaire this weekend unveiled limited edition Tesla surfboards that sold out soon after they were announced. Some of the boards are now being resold on eBay for three times the original price of $1,500 (£1,142).

Tesla’s website said that the red and black surfboards include the same finish that can be found on Tesla’s cars. The boards are custom-made, the site said, and can fit inside Tesla’s Model 3, X and 3 cars. They were created as part of a collaboration between Tesla Design Studio and Lost Surfboards.

Tesla’s decision to sell its own line of surfboards comes as the company faces increasing financial scrutiny. The company’s share price dropped 6pc last weekend following a report that Tesla had asked suppliers to reduce prices in long-term projects. The business reportedly asked for refunds it had made since 2016 in an attempt to reach profitability.
