Tesla is selling a Microphone for in-Car Karaoke, but Only in China

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 that includes a karaoke platform dubbed Leishi KTV for infotainment systems.

According to Tesla, the microphone and the infotainment system couple 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 is demonstrated in a Weibo post (which has mirrored onto YouTube). Tesla is adding on a “Caraoke” function it released in 2019, which featured a more restricted selection of music, as Elektrek points out, by adopting the Leishi KTV interface and catalog.

It is unclear whether Tesla will sell the TeslaMic outside of China, though if it does, 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 will need to supply your own backing tracks and a display with lyrics).
