Elon Musk’s Tesla Now Launches Powerbank for Smartphones
The Tesla powerbank packs the battery equipment which has been used on the Model 3.
Tesla, the makers of electric cars has just launched its first-ever powerbank for smartphone, that support both Android as well as iOS.
The device, priced at $45 (Rs 2,925 approx), lets you connect phone for charging via USB, microUSB and Apple lightning connector. According to Tesla, the powerbank uses a single 18650 cell with 3,350mAh capacity that's also found in Tesla Model S and X electric vehicles.
The powerbank has been designed after Tesla Design Studio's Supercharger monument and wouldn't look out of place inside one of the EV-maker's cars
Looks like Elon Musk wants to make and do everything. He wants to give us top-quality self-driving cars, populate the world with electric cars, help humans to travel from Earth to Mars, and even change the trucks that we have right now.
But if all that wasn’t enough, then now Tesla has a powerbank too. Is there anything that this man can say ‘no’ to?
