The reports I read on the thing, goes like this.
The phone will hit the market with a price tag of 2500 to 5000 usd.
That is the downside to the phone its initial price tag. The positives to the phone will be it utilizing Elon's skylink satellites for internet instead of a monthly bill for service, owners will receive a check for mined ada currencies farmed via phone downtime. The phone will also rarely need be charged due to solar panel / protective case that will be included.

Any thoughts?

Id wanna see what I might be making back and how long the phones could last. Seems like a scam. Cybertrucks and some other tesla products have completely bombed.

However, 2500 is what ANY cell phone might end up costing us in a couple years. If this ends up lasting and you could get no service cost AND get paid back 20-40 bucks a month. Id buy it. A lot of watching it including going to tradeshows where it might be able to be looked at or touched might be necessary. Im completely 50/50 right now though, tesla is not a safe bet.

I agree 100% Tesla isnt as safe a bet as his PayPal is/was. Thank you for the insight/reminder of trade show. I am invested in Telsa stocks and often forget those kinds of things when determining if I should stay invested. The biggest factor I am wanting to come to fruition is the getting paid monthly vs paying monthly. Seems like a pipe dream, but a lot of innovation starts off that way.

Tyvm for your post

Yea... No thx....
100% would rather use a pixel that's like 5 - 10 times cheaper and install GrapheneOS on it which most likely so much more secure and less invasive than a "tesla phone"... I mean, ffs, their tesla car tech is already invasive AF and if GDPR compliant still has any meanings anymore (which it doesn't...), that would definitely be against it...

I mean, dont get me wrong, I was an early starlink adopter, got the v1 literally the week it became available in my country, like.. It does have its use..

A " tesla phone" tho? Nah...
I'll just stick with graphene on pixel and use https://silent.link/ paid in monero for the eSim number & data in Roaming
