Tesla Holiday Easter Eggs - Romance Mode, Fart App, Pole Position (2018.48.12)

First Look: Tesla Holiday Easter Eggs, Romance Mode, Fart App, Pole Position Game (2018.48.12)

Tesla Holiday Easter Eggs are finally here (2018.48.12) which Elon Musk promised a while ago — Romance Mode, Emissions Test Mode (Fart App) and classic Atari game Pole Position’s Tesla version (videos and release notes below).

Tesla vehicles are unique in many ways but Easter Eggs are a specialty Tesla can claim to their own right, thanks to Elon Musk‘s history with video games and computers in the arcade game era.

Until now Tesla Model X Merry Christmas easter egg has been the favorite for Tesla community around the globe, where a Model X SUV dances with its falcon wing door on the “Wizards in Winter” by Trans-Siberian Orchestra tune.

But seems like things are going to change as the ‘Fart App’ anticipation gave a ripple of excitement to the press recently — now it’s here and you can surprise your friends by producing a ‘whoopee fart sound’ from under their seat by just using the left scroll-wheel on the steering.

The Romance Mode easter egg lits up a fireplace on your center touchscreen and plays romantic music that you can enjoy on a holiday evening with your partner, we leave the rest to your imagination.

Tesla’s second priority after making the safest vehicles on the planet is to also create the most fun-packed cars in the market as well, in-car-entertainment is reaching new levels with the latest Tesla easter eggs.

Let’s look at each easter egg’s release notes and video, thanks to @IanPavelko for the easter egg photos he posted and permitted us for the use.
