While Tesla has struggled to deliver cars such as the Cybertruck, Semi, and Roadster on time and has indicated that it would not introduce new models this year, it has found the time (and finances) to create and launch a microphone in China.

The microphone, dubbed the "TeslaMic," is presently only available in China and is said to operate with the Caraoke system included in Tesla's infotainment system.

It is absolutely feasible that the TeslaMic may be launched in additional markets in the future. In mid-January, it was revealed that Tesla had trademarked "TESLA" and its "T" emblem in the United States for the audio equipment category, which includes microphones, headphones, earphones, and digital audio players.

While these trademarks do not necessarily indicate that Tesla intends to launch standalone audio products in the United States, the company has long prioritised providing superior sound systems with its various models, developing class-leading speakers in-house rather than relying on audio companies such as Bang & Olufsen and Harman Kardon, as the majority of other premium automakers do.
