Is $45 too much for a 3500 mAh powerbank?

It costs a bit more than others but it must be worth it because it says Tesla, right? Elon isn't a greedy nigger like Dr Dre.

I got a 13000 mah for like 50-60 shekels

Yes, I got 20,000 for that.

I will wait until someone does a teardown to make sure the 18650 inside is marked Tesla first.

..there are 15Ah+ banks for ~$30 on amazon...

Even the box it comes in is worthy of a permanent display at MoMa.

Eh i paid a convenience fee i wanted one NOW

Looks like it's made out of plastic too, I wouldn't go for it.

Anker is the only brand of powerbanks you should buy

My PNY 7800mah battery pack cost $15 or $20 at Walmart.

Look at the shit box anker come in. You would see this in a K-mart dumpster, not a museum.

Is it made in US tho?

If it is then I'll buy one if they give it a larger battery.

It says "tesla design" so it's probably made in Shenzhen like everything that says "designed by apple in California".

Yeah but I heard they were building a huge battery factory in Nevada.

Chinese

>Anker 20000mAh

>free shhipping

Its has built in plugs though.

Got 20k for 30 bucks

I thought Tesla was moving to larger proprietary cells?

Way too much.
Aim for a price point around $1 per 1,000 mAH.

They are but it's not proprietary.

It's got a built-in Lightning connector. That alone drives up the price by $20.

Tesla is price gouging but they have to push battery tech

It's a shit design since the cables could break, and a phone would be unusable plugged in. Plus what if you have USB-C, etc.

Pic related cost me $25 USD shipped.

I'm not sure the cables are included. Website says just has usb.

If you have to ask, you can't afford it. There's no shame in being poor, but there is shame in being poor and buying things you can't afford. If I didn't make 6 figures I probably wouldn't have an iPhone X either.

Anker makes a better bank but any other bank would be more logical than purchasing this for charging. If you're buying this for asthetics... Well moar power to you
