This past week, Elon Musk posted a photo of what might well be a Tesla Phone and asked if people would be interested in purchasing one.

This phone looks pretty cool to me, but it's probable going to be well beyond my price range.

If it’s as overpriced and built as poorly as the cars no thanks.
I’m sticking with Apple!

Yeah this would also be a no for me, it will probably have a pretty cool design (depending on what your style is) with a questionable build quality, but I will bet it will more than likely have a horrible android skin thrown on it

I understand he's the richest person in the world, but, in order to build a smartphone from the ground up - it takes years and I highly doubt he would use Tesla resources to build it, leave alone a new company.
I call this BS

I’d be interested depending on what new features it had that aren’t already available today. But holy hell that is ugly.

I was reading an article from the Wall Street Journal today saying that reading compression has crashed in America since COVID-19. After reading this post, I'm starting to think they might be right.

"reading compression"? 😂

They should do a followup article on how proofreading has taken a nosedive also. 🤣

The only benefit the Tesla would have, from past rumors, is it wouldn't be on any carrier, but be connected to Starlink, so you could get signal anywhere on the planet.

Looks an awful lot like something generated with Midjourney.
