EV Maker Tesla Might Be Drifting Into The Audio Product Category
The popular EV-maker, Tesla, could make its mark in another industry after automobiles. Reports suggest the Elon Musk-owned firm is gearing up to enter the audio product category.
According to Electrek, Tesla recently filed for the use of its trademark in a wide array of audio equipment. Companies normally do this before they start selling new products under their name.
The source further mentions that the Texas-based carmaker registered both “Tesla” and “T” logos for various new products, ranging from headphones to megaphones.
Here is an excerpt from the report: “TESLA™ trademark registration is intended to cover the categories of microphones; headphones; earphones; digital audio players; sound transmitting apparatus; audio speakers; subwoofers; earpads for headphones; audio interfaces; audio equalizer apparatus; horns for loudspeakers; megaphones.“
Although this suggests Tesla could launch new products in any of these categories, you should take all early predictions at this point with a grain of salt. Sometimes, companies file trademark applications in anticipation of a future project and eventually scrap it. So there’s a chance Tesla might not even make full use of its application.
However, considering that Tesla has upped its audio game with the Model S and Model 3, it won’t be preposterous to say that the company might be working on a new car audio system.
And knowing Tesla CEO Musk’s penchant for the most bizarre and unexpected products, it shouldn’t surprise anyone if a pair of Tesla headphones are ultimately announced. After all, we’re talking about the same person who introduced products such as Tesla Tequila and Cyberwhistle to the world.
