Tesla TVs????

[jas007]

Yesterday I saw a video about new TVs that Tesla will be selling directly to the consumer beginning in 2025.  Totally mind blowing specs on all of them.  Various sizes with the smallest at 55" and costing $157.  that's hard to believe, but maybe they can do it.  The largest model was expected to be priced at around $999.

Tesla a.s. is a Czech company that existed long before that megalomaniac arrived on the scene.

I hope these are all made in the US, with parts sourced exclusively from US companies, and no immigrant labour or management involvement.

Something wrong with being referred to as spirited, vigorous or risqué?

Looks like a load of <deleted>, replete with spelling mistakes. Just the sort of thing that can suck in the American consumer. Marketing over substance. 

No

Well, there's more than one video about it on YouTube, so maybe it's a real Tesla product for 2025.  I admit, it seemed strange to me.

Most of the videos are from the same people/outlets. It's just marketing. There's no new nor innovative technology and for sure it will have Twitter installed. Just another way to spread his propaganda.

From what I saw, it'll be Starlink capable and some of the specs will be unmatched.  What excited me was how inexpensive they will be.  As for "installing" Twitter?  Has there ever been an app for Twitter?  That's all Musk really needs to do if he just wants to "spread his propaganda."  Make an X app for download on Apple TV and for smart TVs.  No need to make televisions.

Yes, there are Twitter/X Apps. Starlink Capable is doubtful. It's just all 💩 Talking up a product that doesn't exist, to get a few people all excited. You aren't going to get any of the touted specification for US$179.

Plus Starlink isn't cheap is it? What would it offer beyond what broadband already offers at $20/month.

Yep. I was curious, so I just looked.  And I found out I had downloaded it a long time ago.  It isn't all that interesting and isn't really the same as X.  It seems slow.  I guess that's why I forgot about it.

I think there's webpage with the specs.  I'll try to find it.

Don't bother. It's really just nonsense.

And what's wrong with a great product, if you can get it?  I'm not holding my breath, as a lot of the TVs currently on the market are more than I need, and they don't cost too much. 

 

I'm in a rented condo, and the TV that's here is OK, but a little small. I like to watch movies.  If I move into a bigger place with some room, I'm going to buy something bigger.  85" or so.  Believe it or not, those don't have to cost too much and the picture looks great to me.

The  TVs they're supposedly coming out with later this year.  They probably won't ship to Thailand, though, or if they do they won't be so cheap.

Are you actually Trolling? Don't you get that it's all a load of rubbish? Some of the silly articles state Tesla OS. Others Tizen OS. It's all just a fabricated marketing ploy. Check the response and then decide whether to release some white label product with TESLA branding. The problem with that is that there is already another company making TESLA TVs.

I'm not a troll and I'm not trying to argue.  For all I know, Tesla will be making the TVs.  It all sounds weird to me, but I'm not ready to call it all a marketing ploy. Time will tell.  Mostly, it's nothing I worry about too much.
