If you have designs on one dayowningaTeslavehicle, and the $79,000-plus price for a Model S or Model X or $35,000 for a Model 3 is too rich for your blood, you can still have a piece of Tesla technology. (Meanwhile, you can also dream of the company's newRoadster'spotential for flight.)

You can snap up Tesla's new product, thePowerbank, for just $45.00. What does it do, you might ask? It charges your phone and other mobile devices on the go. Yes, Tesla's latest offering is essentially a phone charger. But ostensibly one with some pretty decent battery power.

On the website, the company says that it was designed to look like Tesla's supercharger monument at the Tesla Design Studio. As far as specs, users will get an integrated USB and integrated Apple lightning and detachable micro USB. It will also alert you if you need to charge a device.

On the technical side, the Powerbank contains a single 18650 cell with 3350mAh capacity, which is apparently the same kind ofbatterythat powers the Model S and Model X cars.
