Tesla, the world’s biggest electric vehicle maker, is reportedly working on a futuristic smartphone, potentially named Model Pi.
Despite widespread industry leaks and rumours, the Texas-based company has been tight-lipped about the device. It has not confirmed production plans yet and is keeping product development under wraps.
However, industry insiders expect the company to launch its first smartphone late next year or in early 2024.
Tesla, which dissolved its public relations department in October 2020, relies on social media — largely Twitter — to make new announcements.
The company’s billionaire chief executive Elon Musk, who has 78.2 million followers on Twitter, has made a number of company announcements on the social media platform, including the company’s move to drop the usage of Bitcoin and new features of its cars. Tesla’s own account has 13.6 million followers.
