Speaking of functionality, the main feature of the smartphone is over-the-air charging support. The Tesla Phone uses technology similar to the one Xiaomi unveiled in early 2021. It is capable of charging a smartphone remotely at a distance of up to 3 meters at a power of 5 watts. It is reported that such charging will be built into all future Tesla vehicles – users will not even have to take a smartphone out of their pocket to recharge it.

The appearance of the Tesla Phone is also quite unique: its titanium body is covered with a special coating that turns yellow from the heat of the human body. The proprietary Big Fucking Pocket protective case is also coated with the same dusting, but it will be fully announced in May.

The smartphone is equipped with a Snapdragon 888 processor, but the main interest is an additional chip with a neural module to ensure the operation of Neuralink technology. It analyzes user behavior (history of his browser, viewed profiles on social networks, etc.) in order to predict his desire and predict where he wants to go in his Tesla and drive coordinates into its navigator in advance.

Elon Musk promises that in the future, when people colonize Mars, the smartphone will upload photos from the Red Planet and put the best of them as a screensaver on the main screen.
