Tesla's New Mission: a Quiet Leafblower

Elon Musk kept things weird Tuesday evening with the announcement of a possible new Tesla product line. "Tesla is going to develop a quiet, electric leafblower," the CEO tweeted, adding: "Tesla blows haha." It's not clear what prompted the announcement, though CNET speculates that Musk or his friends may have been annoyed by a "particularly loud leafblower." When doubters told Musk that electric leafblowers are already on the market, he replied: "We can probably just repurpose Model 3 HVAC parts. No big deal." It's not clear whether the leafblower will make it to market, though Musk has had success with other non-automotive creations like his limited-edition "not a flamethrower" flamethrower, Business Insider notes.
