The company just launched a contest that will pay one lucky (and disciplined) person $100,000 to give up using their smartphone for a year. You could buy a Tesla Model S or (base model) X, or two Model 3s, now that they're rolling off the assembly line. Smartphone free means no using your smartphone, no borrowing your friend or family member's smartphone, and no using a tablet. No exceptions--if you need to use a smartphone for work, don't enter the contest. And don't enter it if you've never used a smartphone--you actually have to give one up.
