Tesla Pi Phone Features
There are some wild rumors about the possible features of the Tesla Pi Phone. Here are some of the stories that have been going around.
Satellite Internet
Some rumors suggest that Tesla could include Starlink services in the new phone. However, with the large antennae that such a service would require, it would be quite difficult for Tesla to fit this into a phone.
Cryptocurrency
In the past, Musk has been open about his views on cryptocurrency and is a big investor in Dogecoin. Some reports have suggested that the Tesla phone could come with special hardware that would allow it to mine cryptocurrency.
Neuralink
Neuralink is another company owned by Musk that aims to create a seamless interface between humans and computers. This would enable humans to control computers just by thinking about a particular action. There’s already a Neuralink app in the pipeline and some reports state that the app could be incorporated into the new Tesla phone.
Solar Charging
As a company that already manufactures solar panels, you wouldn’t be faulted to think that Tesla could incorporate solar charging into its upcoming phone.
Controlling Tesla Cars
Tesla has already come out with an app for iPhones and Android smartphones that helps them control their Tesla cars. With this app, you can unlock the car, start or stop the engine, and even call the vehicle to your location. With the new phone launching, the app could be fully incorporated into the phone for seamless use.
Tesla Phone Price
Tesla has yet to release the pricing information for its upcoming Pi Phone. However, even with just a few of the features mentioned above, the phone is expected to cost between $800 and $1200.
