Directly connected to satellites and charged by solar energy.. Latest leaks about the new Tesla P phone

Tesla phone, tentatively named the Model Pi or P Phone, has sparked considerable interest in the tech community. Reports suggest that this device may boast features such as solar charging capabilities and direct connectivity to satellites via Starlink . However, it is crucial to note that these claims remain speculative and lack official confirmation from Tesla itself. The origins of these rumors can be traced back to a designer concept video released in 2021, which further complicates the reliability of the information circulating online.

Currently, there's no concrete evidence to support the existence of a Tesla phone. The rumours seem to stem from a 2021 YouTube video showcasing a designer's concept, not an actual leak. Many online articles rely solely on this source, perpetuating the myth.

Tesla’s entertainment system in its cars indeed provides access to a variety of apps and games, so it seems like this software could be a foundation of sorts for any future non-Android smartphone. It also stands to reason that Tesla could leverage SpaceX’s Starlink satellite service for some form of connectivity. The company is already testing a so-called direct-to-cell service for texting support and emergency alerts on T-Mobile smartphones.

In saying so, it’s far easier said than done to create a smartphone that isn’t powered by Android or iOS. Microsoft found this out the hard way with its Windows Phone platform. Microsoft struggled to court developers to make apps for its platform. Easily the biggest holdout was Google, which refused to bring the majority of its services to Microsoft’s platform. This would be a hurdle for Tesla too.

Elon Musk's dual leadership roles at both Tesla and SpaceX, no credible leaks substantiate these claims .

In conclusion, while the speculation surrounding a Tesla mobile device is intriguing and aligns with Musk's vision for technological convergence between sustainable energy and advanced connectivity solutions, it is essential to approach these rumors with caution. Without robust evidence or official announcements from Tesla regarding the Model Pi or its purported features like satellite connectivity and solar charging capabilities, consumers should await further developments before forming expectations.
