Tesla Pi Phone: All the Rumors So Far
The Tesla Pi Phone has been in the news lately. It could be the first smartphone from the electric car company Tesla. It is also rumored to be designed by Elon Musk himself. The phone will likely compete with the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Enthusiasts and even the general public are very excited about this smartphone. The article talks about all the rumors of the alleged Tesla Pi Phone. So, without any further ado, let’s get started.
Is the Tesla phone real?
It looks like Tesla will not launch the Pi Phone. There’s no credible source to believe right now. The source of many rumors seems to be a YouTube video (by Adrstudiodesign) from early 2021. However, it’s important to note that the ideas presented in the video are purely speculative and not based on confirmed leaks. The designer says the content is merely their creative ideas rather than leaks or details.
Tesla Pi Phone Rumors:
December 1, 2022: Elon and Tim Cook reached an agreement
On December 1st, Elon Musk tweeted that he and Tim Cook had a good conversation when Tim Cook showed Elon around Apple Park. The idea that Twitter may be removed from the App Store was cleared up during this talk, and Elon reassured Twitter users that Apple had no such plans.
Previously, there were some interpretations of Apple’s Content Moderation Policy, and many believed that if Twitter did not comply, they would be banned from the App Store. However, following this chat between Elon and Tim, they appear to have achieved an agreeable solution.
It does not appear likely that the Tesla phone would launch any time soon, given that Elon Musk claimed he would only do so if Twitter were removed from the App Store. Although the introduction of the Tesla phone has been delayed indefinitely, we still hope to see it happen within the next two years.
November 26, 2022: Elon Musk might make an Alternative to iPhone/Android
A podcaster named Liz Wheeler tweeted regarding Twitter being removed from the App Store & Google Play store. She mentioned that Elon Musk should make his own phone if that happens. Since Elon has an excellent reputation, she believes people will abandon Google and Apple and move to Elon’s phone instead. She also speculates that making a smartphone won’t be too hard for someone who builds refuellable rockets.
To this tweet, Elon replied he hopes it does not come to that, but if it does and there’s no other choice, he will make an alternative phone. This could very well be a hint towards the much anticipated Tesla phone, and there’s a chance it might come with his own software that’s neither Android nor iOS.
However, there are no signs of Twitter being pulled from the stores right now, and it’s challenging to build a new OS in a short span because a new OS needs plenty of developer support.
If Elon Musk made a Tesla Phone, Would you buy it?
TechDroider tweeted, “If Elon Musk made a Tesla Phone to compete with iPhone and Android, Would you buy it? What features would you like to see?”
Users’ responses were mixed, with some expressing interest while others were not keen on the idea.
Some users replied they want to see new features like True’s ability to turn off tracking/analytics, 3D recording, Integrated Starlink capabilities, Brand new OS, a very competitive AI assistant, and more.
