Rumors about a Tesla smartphone have been circulating online for a while now, but no official confirmation has ever been made. Recently, Elon Musk, the owner of the company, provided an official comment on the matter.
In an interview with Joe Rogan, he debunked all rumors about Tesla developing a smartphone. However, he added that the company could create a device that would compete with Android and iPhone, but there is currently no point in doing so.
No we're not doing a phone. We could do a phone; but it's not something we want to do unless we have to.
According to Elon Musk, Tesla would release its own smartphone if Apple and Google started «doing really bad things».
