On April Fools’ Day, Tesla joked it was creating a Teslaquila. This week, the company has officially filed to trademark the term. On Friday, Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk tweeted a “visual approximation” of the bottle, which has the words “100% puro agave” emblazoned on the label.

The company filed a trademark for “distilled agave liquor” and “distilled blue agave liquor,” according to CNBC. When Musk originally joked about the Teslaquila, it was part of a larger joke about Tesla claiming bankruptcy.

Even though Musk says it’s coming soon, we personally won’t believe it until we see it. But some seem excited about the new possible drink; others are confused. Check out a few reactions below.
