Tesla Launches $350 Limited-Edition Pickleball Paddle

Tesla announced on Friday a limited-edition $350 pickleball paddle developed with Selkirk Sport, and USA Pickleball-approved. Selkirk said the year-long engineering collaboration produced features like an edgeless perimeter, open-air throat and InfiniGrit surface on a two-ply carbon-fiber face. The pricing surpasses high-end tennis rackets and comes amid Tesla's broader premium-merch strategy and a reported 23% November sales decline.
