Tesla is giving its owners another way to express their individuality from behind the wheel of their vehicles. As if they needed it.
The EV maker released its Holiday Update, Firmware 2020.48.25 on Christmas Day, adding a few little gifts for recently built Teslas, including the ability to make the car fart or bleat like a goat at the outside world on command.
Through the new Boombox feature, users can now change their horn noise to a bunch of stock sounds including goat, applause, La Cucaracha, holiday music, coconuts and fart, each projected outward from an external speaker near the front of the vehicle. Boombox is available only on those Teslas (2019 and newer) fitted with the external speakers.
The best and likely to be the most offensive part of the new horn sound system is the potential customization, which allows users to upload up to five custom sounds from a USB drive. Something tells us we’ll be writing more headlines about this feature shortly—
The Holiday Update also tweaks the screen display and driving visualizer, plus adds some new games including Solitaire and something called Cat Quest, but who really cares about that. Because, you know, farts!
Yeah, I’m gunna buy a Tesla and ride around my neighborhood farting and barking at my neighbors. They’ll soon know I have reached the pinnacle or prominence.
They are now.
