Introduction

Tesla, the world’s biggest electric vehicle maker, is reportedly working on a futuristic smartphone, potentially named Model Pi.

In my opinion, this phone will transform the world. When I read about the phone for the first time, I was super excited and scared at the same time. The phone might change everything, as Elon Musk said in this tweet.

Here is what we know about Tesla Phone Model Pi.

Features:

The phone will be connected to your Tesla car and the Pi smartphone will support Nuralink.

What is Neuralink?

Neuralink is dedicated to developing a device that, once implanted in the human brain, would allow a computer to translate a person’s thoughts into action.

It relates to creating chips that can be implanted in the brain, allowing hardware to be controlled by the electrical impulses produced while we thought.

One of Musk's companies, Neuralink Corporation, as mentioned above, is already extensively involved in the development of this technology. However, it will likely take a long time before being 'chipped' becomes a reality.

Here are the top three books to understand the implications of the projects like Neuralink (amazon affiliate links) if you would like to read more.

1- How to Create a Mind: The Secret of Human Thought Revealed by Ray Kurzweil

2- On Intelligence: How a New Understanding of the Brain Will Lead to the Creation of Truly Intelligent Machines by Jeff and Sandra

3- Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain by Mark, Barry, & Michael

Smartwatches and phones are yesterday’s technology. Neuralinks are the future,” Mr. Musk on Twitter.

  • Based on my research, you would be able to control any device through your phone. For example, the app on the phone will integrate with your devices like the keyboard, mouse, etc., which will directly get signals from your brain.
  • Since 2016, Nuralink has been building chips that will be implanted into your brain. Once the chips are successfully implanted, the user will be able to control the devices.
  • The cell phone might get solar energy charging without ever needing to recharge the phone.
  • Finally, the most unbelievable story we've heard is that the Model Pi will be able to function on Mars thanks to Starlink technology. Yes. Mars. To be honest, we'd be more impressed if Tesla could repair it so that we could get a good signal at a coffee shop rather than on Olympus Mons. That would be a huge step forward. There is a possibility to call from Mars to Earth and Earth to Mars.
  • According to many media reports, the Model Pi smartphone will be compatible with Brain-Machine-Interface (BMI) chips, allowing users to operate their gadgets with their thoughts. While this sounds fascinating if getting Siri to contact the proper person or Alexa to choose the perfect music track is any indication, the notion of a mind-control phone might be the stuff of nightmares.

The anticipated cost of the Tesla Model Pi Smartphone

No price point has been disclosed yet; however, it is likely to be at the very top of the table based on the features above. Tesla does not build cheap products, and we don't expect it to change with a smartphone.

The best part is that we don’t know what will happen in the future, and with technological advancements, everything is possible.

Note: I would like to say that Tesla did not confirm or deny the smartphone rumor. According to the latest rumors, the phone is expected to be released in late 2023 or early 2024! I think we should keep an eye on Elon’s Twitter handle.
