Rajkot, November 6, 2025 — The buzz around the “Tesla Phone,” often dubbed the “Model Pi,” has captured the imagination of tech enthusiasts not just globally, but right here in Rajkot. From the local tea stalls to digital groups, the question remains the same: When will Elon Musk finally launch a revolutionary smartphone?
The short answer, for now, is: There is no official release date, and Tesla has not confirmed the phone’s development.1
While countless videos and online posts suggest a launch in late 2025 or early 2026, this spectacular device remains firmly in the realm of speculation.2 For readers following Rajkot Updates, here is a deep dive into the truth behind the viral hype and what Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, has actually said.
🚫 Fact Check: What Has Elon Musk Said?
The constant viral leaks and concept images have given the Tesla phone a life of its own, but its creator remains skeptical.
- Musk’s Consistent Stance: In multiple interviews and recent posts on X (formerly Twitter), Elon Musk has consistently stated that Tesla is not currently developing a phone.3 In a notable instance, he remarked that the idea of making a phone “makes him want to die” due to the immense work required.4
- The “Forcing Function” Condition: Musk has clarified that the only scenario in which Tesla would launch a phone is if tech giants like Apple and Google were to impose “destructive” or “heavy-handed” policies—such as removing Tesla’s essential apps from their respective app stores.5 Currently, Tesla’s car and energy apps work perfectly on both iOS and Android, removing the need for a competing device.6
In essence, the Tesla Phone is a contingency plan, not a priority product.7
🚀 The Rumors That Fuel the Hype
The reason the “Model Pi” story continues to dominate headlines and social media is the incredible list of futuristic features rumored to be included:
- Starlink Connectivity: The most compelling rumor suggests the phone would connect directly to SpaceX’s Starlink satellite network, providing free internet anywhere on Earth, even in remote areas of Gujarat where traditional cellular service struggles.8
- Neuralink Integration: Speculation goes further, suggesting the device would interact with Neuralink’s brain-computer interface (BCI), allowing users to control the phone with their thoughts.9 This feature, however, is far ahead of Neuralink’s current development stage.
- Tesla Ecosystem Control: The phone is expected to act as the ultimate hub, providing seamless, advanced control over Tesla cars, the Powerwall home battery, and other Tesla products.10
- Solar Charging & Crypto Mining: Concepts have included solar charging panels on the back and even the ability to mine a hypothetical “MarsCoin” cryptocurrency.11
💰 Price and Timeline: The Speculative Numbers
Without an official announcement, all timelines and prices are educated guesses, often cited by viral marketing channels:
| Speculation Metric | Rumor Mill Range | Reality Check |
| Expected Release Date | Late 2025 – 2026 | NO OFFICIAL DATE. Contingent on App Store policies. |
| Expected Price (USD) | $800 to $1,500 | Pricing a revolutionary phone is impossible without specs. |
| Operating System | Custom Tesla OS or Heavily Modified Android | Custom OS creation is a massive hurdle for any new competitor. |
🎯 The Rajkot Updates Verdict
For those in Rajkot eagerly awaiting the launch: while the Tesla Phone is a fascinating concept that perfectly blends the tech from Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink, it is not a confirmed product. The company is heavily focused on electric vehicles, AI, and energy solutions.12
Until Elon Musk or Tesla makes an official statement, the “Model Pi” phone should be treated as a spectacular viral myth—a vision of what a truly disruptive smartphone could one day become. Keep an eye on the official Tesla news channels, not just the concept videos, for the definitive update.
