Tesla celebrates holidays with fart sound app integration

By RELAXNEWS | 19 December 2018


SAN FRANCISCO: After Tesla's Elon Musk alluded to a new fart feature in the Tesla app on Saturday, sure enough, Monday's software update came with an Easter egg giving you the options to "fart on demand" or "fart on turn signal."

You always knew your Tesla was missing something, right? You couldn't figure it out, but the car just wasn't quite living up to its full potential? Don't worry, Elon Musk apparently thought that the vehicles were lacking some pizzazz, and not a moment too soon, the Tesla software was updated with a hidden fart Easter egg.

It was hard to believe on Saturday when Musk tweeted, "Tesla *wind emoji* app almost done. Important to get every note right!" that he could be suggesting that Tesla's could be farting in the near future, but on Monday that's exactly what came to reality.

Not only can you select when fart noises come through the speakers — either on demand, when you activate a turn signal, or at random — but also you can choose which type of fart sounds: a Not a Fart, a Short Shorts Ripper, a Falcon Heavy, a Ludicrous Fart, a Neurastink, and a Boring Fart. It's not every day that a CEO will name farts in honour of his various ventures, but then again, we shouldn't be surprised by Musk.

Indeed, Musk put some Tesla resources towards creating a fart feature for the software. The company also added a fireplace Easter egg that turns the center screen into a festive, cozy fire. Tesla really is turning up the heat for the holidays.
