Tesla Model Pi phone, if Apple blocks Twitter
Meanwhile, Musk and Apple boss Cook have made up during a visit to Apple headquarters. Earlier, Musk threatened to develop his own phone if Apple removed Twitter from the App Store. That this idea is not imaginary, is evident from the various concepts that have been developed for this phone. One of them has the working title Tesla Model Pi.

The aerospace company SpaceX has put many hundreds of satellites into orbit that could be used as communication nodes for a satellite telephone network. A Tesla Model Pi smartphone will have worldwide reach, as is already the case with the satellite service Starlink for satellite internet users.
Charge in the sun
The following information is not yet finalized. The released concepts of the Tesla Model Pi are very similar in design to the Apple iPhone 12. Four lenses should yield high-quality photos, especially for astrophotography. The specifications of this are not yet known.
More interesting are other technical gadgets. This phone will be able to charge itself through sunlight. The phone will also be integrated into Musk’s tech ecosystem, such as Tesla cars, the future Mars Coin, and other projects. The phone will be equipped with a very large 7000 mAh battery.
And, perhaps the most controversial addition, this phone will be able to communicate with a Neuralink brain implant. Because there is not really much progress in the Neuralink project at the moment, this will take a little longer.
Development of the smartphone certainly possible
According to some, the Tesla Pi phone is mainly hype. But remember that there are countless smartphone brands, which can often come up with very interesting models with a few million euros. The amount of capital that Musk has at his disposal is in principle sufficient to at least make a modest start with this phone. A smartphone would fit well into Musk’s strategy.
Given the hefty specifications and the high-tech character, it will not be a cheap device. The amounts mentioned are well above € 1000. An impression of the phone can be found below, from the well-known industrial design studio ADR.
