Tesla Pi Phone: Release Date, Specifications, and Price 

The Tesla Pi Phone has been in the news lately. It is a new smartphone from the electric car company Tesla. It is also rumoured to be designed by Elon Musk himself. The phone will 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 the upcoming Tesla Pi Phone, which is set to be released shortly. It gives a brief overview of the phone’s specifications and expected price. So, without any further ado, let’s get started.

Update: It looks like Tesla will not launch the Pi Phone. There’s no credible source to believe right now. If you are looking for the best phone, you can consider the Galaxy S23 Ultra (Check Deals). Even Elon Musk was impressed by the telephoto capabilities of the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Tesla phone may be delayed since 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.

Elon Musk Hints at a Tesla Phone

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.

Tesla Pi Phone Release Date

• The Tesla Pi Phone might be released in December 2023 (Expected). This is pure speculation. Tesla may have a plan for the Satellite Phone in the future, but we do not have enough information to believe it.

There is no official information on the release date. And since this is Tesla’s first-ever smartphone, we cannot make any speculations based on past releases. Earlier, various news outlets (Mashable India) reported that the Tesla Pi Phone would likely launch in December 2022. However, it did not happen in December 2022. We will update you as more information on the same becomes available.

Tesla Pi Phone Features

The exact features of the Tesla Pi Phone are yet to be discovered. However, we have some rumours about the same (reported by The Tech Outlook).

The Tesla Pi Phone is expected to have a large 6.7-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1600 nits peak brightness, and a pixel density of around 458 PPI. As for the processor, rumours say that Tesla could use its in-house chip for the Tesla Pi Phone or the Snapdragon flagship chip. Regardless, it will sport an octa-core processor in either case.

We can expect a triple camera setup on the rear with a 50MP primary sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 50MP telephoto lens. For selfies, there is said to be a 40MP front camera.

It is also said to have a 5000mAh battery with fast charging support. However, the fast charging speed is unknown. Moreover, the phone will be available in 8GB RAM and 512GB internal storage variant with one single colour— black. The phone will also be a little on the heavier side, weighing about 240 grams.

Do the specifications sound familiar? Yes, they do. So, what makes the Tesla Pi Phone different from others? The Tesla Pi Phone may bring features to a smartphone we’ve never seen before. Here are some of the expected features:

• Ability to control Tesla cars with better integration than Android or iOS apps.
• Hardware that would enable crypto mining.
• Solar charging.
• Satellite internet.
• Astrophotography.

While these features could come to the Tesla Pi Phone, no official information exists. These are just speculations and expectations of the community.

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?” 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.
