Tesla smartphone: What would an Elon Musk-inspired Model P phone look like?

Dutch-based industrial designer Martin Hajek shows what a Tesla smartphone might look like if Elon Musk ever decided to create a connected device for his electric cars

Elon Musk is known as a disruptive visionary; he has spent the past two decades achieving the unthinkable and single-handedly transforming the automobile and space industries.

Musk has never publicly commented on his intention to get into the saturated smartphone manufacturing business. But imagine what if he announced his next project was to create the perfect smartphone that focuses on form and function.

Designer Martin Hajek has come up with what can be best described as a glimpse of what a Tesla smartphone might look like if Musk ever decided to create a connected device for his electric cars.

The Netherlands-based industrial designer’s portfolio has many interesting concepts which include the recent Citroen eCV concept car.

The conceptual Tesla Model P smartphone, as one would predict, sports a sculptural design evoking the look of Tesla cars. Featuring a glossy red finish on the back, a spine-like fin that runs from the top to bottom of the device is a nod to Tesla’s instantly recognisable design DNA.

The carbon fibre speaker grill adds sportiness to the device, while the notch for the front camera is quite unusual and resembles a Tesla Model S / X front grille. Instead of a boxy shape, the smartphone has a rounded design similar to Tesla cars and the display is also curved on the edges. All in all, the Tesla Model P smartphone concept looks premium and is nothing like the current handsets in the market. The question is, will Musk ever decide to disrupt the smartphone business?
