Tesla is now selling a new accessory: an in-car karaoke microphone. For the time being, the TeslaMic is only available in China. It was announced as part of a Chinese New Year software upgrade. It also includes a karaoke platform dubbed Leishi KTV for infotainment systems.
According to Tesla, the microphone and the infotainment system pair automatically. The TeslaMic comes in a two-pack. So it could come in useful if you ever want to park somewhere with a date and sing duets. The pack costs roughly $188, but many would-be singers are having trouble loading the Tesla retail website.
The TeslaMic and karaoke system are demonstrated in a Weibo post (which has been mirrored onto YouTube). The company is adding on a “Caraoke” function it released in 2019. It featured a more confined selection of music, as Elektrek points out, by adopting the Leishi KTV interface and catalog.
It’s unclear whether Tesla will sell the TeslaMic outside of China. Though if it does, if ever in the US, you might be able to purchase it with Dogecoin. Meanwhile, you can connect an official Carpool Karaoke microphone to your car’s audio system (albeit you’ll need to supply your backing tracks and a display with lyrics).
