No, Tesla is not about to release a phone—let alone one with lifetime access to Starlink. This is a persistent internet rumor and hoax that has been repeatedly debunked throughout 2025.
Why It’s Not Happening
No official announcement: Tesla’s website, investor materials, and Master Plan updates mention nothing about a smartphone. Searches on tesla.com only reference using existing phones as keys or for Bluetooth connectivity.
Elon Musk’s statements: Musk has explicitly denied plans for a Tesla phone multiple times, including in 2024–2025 interviews (e.g., on Joe Rogan: “No, we’re not doing a phone”). He has said Tesla would only consider it as a last resort if Apple/Google blocked Tesla/X apps—not as a proactive product.
Recent developments: SpaceX is advancing Starlink Direct-to-Cell (partnering with carriers like T-Mobile for satellite connectivity on existing phones), but this works with standard smartphones—no need for a Tesla-branded device.
