Elon Musk's Tesla could be making a smartphone!

Although Tesla is going through a difficult time when it comes to making profits, it seems this isn’t stopping the company from trying out new things, including colonising Mars, sending a car in Space, building the world’s largest lithium-ion battery in Australia and now making a smartphone! Yes you read it right. If the latest leak by SlashLeaks is to be believed, Tesla is building a smartphone with a rumoured name, Quadra. The leak only shows a photo of the back and front panels of the alleged Tesla phone, and provides no other information about the device.

The leaked photo of the front and back panels gives out little information about the rumoured smartphone. Let’s start with the front panel. It shows a thin bezels on the sides, an iPhone X-like notch and no chin. The notch is comparatively smaller and may house an earpiece, front camera and other sensors. The back panel shows a camera enclosure on the top left corner. A big trademark Tesla logo ‘T’ almost fills up the centre of the back panel. It's possible the logo will glow on the phone. Just below the branding, you can see an alphabet along with the number ‘4’. It is not confirmed what letter it is, but going by the name, it is assumed that the letter is ‘Q’. Some reports have claimed it is ‘G’. There is also a strip cutout towards the bottom on the back panel, which could be for a speaker. It is also possible that the image leaked on the internet is a fake. Maybe we should wait for Elon Musk to tweet about it.

Thanks to the increased production and deliveries of Model 3 and and adoption of the new accounting standard, the automotive revenue in the the first quarter rose 19 percent compared to the previous year.
