Will Elon Musk Unveil The Tesla Phone If you search Tesla phone on Facebook and TikTok now, it seems that a post is going viral. In the post, it is claimed that Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is going to bring a phone this December to compete with Android and iOS. Most of the posts in the Nepali language have discussed the features of the phone that Musk is said to bring.
“Elon Musk has prepared to release the Tesla phone this December. Charge and internet facility will be available on this phone for free. Its price is only 299 dollars, that is, about 40 to 41 thousand in Nepalese rupees,” it is written.
Similarly, in some other posts, it has been claimed that this phone can be charged by sunlight, that the internet can be used anywhere, that the car and house can be controlled from the phone, and that the phone can be controlled from the brain.
Such posts are frequently published on social media. What is its reality? How is this rumor spreading? Here we discuss the same:
Has Tesla released the phone yet?
Some people on TikTok and Facebook have claimed that Tesla has released the phone itself. It is claimed that this phone is already available for 100 dollars (about 13 and a half thousand rupees) in a post run from a country outside Nepal. However, there is no evidence that Tesla has officially released the phone.
Many have claimed that the Tesla phone has already been released by placing a clickbait thumbnail on YouTube. However, the video seems to contain unrelated topics.
X (formerly Twitter) is the platform on which Musk promotes his products. Also, Musk has not posted anything about the Pi phone being public.
There have been many reports about the upcoming Tesla phone. In that report, it is claimed that Tesla has ‘confirmed’ that the phone will be brought soon. However, there is no official information about this yet.
What did Elon Musk say about Tesla making a phone?
The owner of Tesla, Elon Musk, gives different opinions about the phone from time to time. His opinion about the phone is the main reason for the spread of such rumors.
In 2020, Musk called smartphones ‘yesterday’s technology’ in a post on X. He gave this expression while discussing the features of Neuralink. Musk’s company Neuralink claims to have implanted chips in the brains of three people. However, it may still take years for the technology to control the device as claimed.
After purchasing the social network Twitter in 2022, Musk aggressively rebranded it. First of all, he changed the name of the company from Twitter Inc. to X Corporation. Then they decided to change the name of the social network. He decided to make X by rebranding the Twitter app and website.
However, on the other hand, Apple initially planned not to allow Musk to have a ‘one letter’ name in the app. In response, Musk signaled to bring his own phone to Apple.
If Tesla makes a phone, what features will it include?
From what is seen from the various materials mentioned above, Musk and his company Tesla have not made any moves to bring smartphones. But if Musk’s statement is to be taken as a base, then it cannot be said that he will not bring it. If Tesla brings a phone, what will its design be?
Concept artist Antonio Di Rosa has released some phone designs that could be adopted by Tesla. You can see those photos by clicking here. In this video, he has given his personal opinion about how the phone could be.
-Solar powered charging
Rumors have been spread that Tesla’s phone will have solar power. It has been discussed that the phone does not need to be charged separately due to the same solar panel. This rumor has some meaning. There is no doubt that the Tesla brand, which is especially focused on environmental protection, can bring such technology. Similarly, another company of Musk is also focused on making solar technology.
Developing suitable solar technology for phones is not that common. Most of the time, the solar technology that is kept in the pocket or in a dark place should be more advanced.
-Starlink Support
Rumors have spread that the Tesla Model Pi phone will use Starlink Internet operated by SpaceX, another of Musk’s companies. Starlink is a fast internet service based on satellite, which can provide high speed internet even in places where 5G is not expected.
Satellite connectivity service is already available on iPhones after iPhone 14 series and Huawei phones after Huawei Mate 50 Pro. However, this service can only be used in emergency situations.
-Can be used on other planets as well
There are many posts claiming that the phone brought by Tesla can be used on other planets as well. It is claimed that Starlink Internet can be used on Tesla’s phone especially on Mars. However, there is no official information that you can use the phone by connecting to the Internet on Mars.
The price of the phone has also received a lot of discussion. Some Nepali Facebook page owners have suggested that this phone will be available for 299 dollars (about 40 thousand rupees).
