Teslas are known for their cutting-edge automotive technology, but they have a lighter side too. The electric car company has laced numerous Easter eggs throughout their vehicles, providing drivers and passengers alike with fun surprises and hidden features that showcase the quirky sense of humor of Elon Musk and his team at Tesla. In this article, we take a look at some of the most incredibly cool Tesla Easter eggs.

Not-So-Secret Paint Shop

One well-known Easter egg is the ability to turn your in-car display into a sketchpad, aptly called ‘Sketchpad’. Originally discovered by holding down the ‘T’ on the touchscreen, it allows drivers to unlock their creativity while parked.

The Rainbow Road

With a nod to the classic ‘Mario Kart’ game, Tesla owners can turn their drive into a magical experience. By activating Autopilot and pulling the gear selector four times in quick succession, the road on the display will morph into a pulsating Rainbow Road complete with cowbell sounds—because who doesn’t need more cowbell?

Monty Python Fan?

If you say “Open butthole” to voice control in certain contexts or tap on your vehicle’s charging port icon in the car’s menu a few times, it may open up (depending on your car’s model and software version). This cheeky command seems to be inspired by Monty Python’s irreverent sense of humor.

James Bond Homage

The Tesla Model S can temporarily become a submarine – at least on your infotainment screen. Enter ‘007’ as an access code under the suspension settings, and you can change the image of your car to that of James Bond’s iconic submersible Lotus Esprit from ‘The Spy Who Loved Me.’

Back to Mars

Tesla brings space travel fantasies closer to reality. In certain models, if you press the Tesla logo for an extended period of time and input ‘Mars’ as an access code, it takes you to an otherworldly drive – your navigation system transforms into the surface of Mars with your vehicle represented as a Mars rover.

Santa Mode

When the holiday season rolls around, Tesla adds some festive cheer. Engaging ‘Santa Mode’ changes your car icon to Santa’s sleigh while other vehicles are rendered as reindeer. Playing holiday tunes completes this merry scenario.

These Easter eggs not only provide entertainment but also reflect Tesla’s innovative spirit. They transform mundane moments into opportunities for joy, demonstrating that technology isn’t just about impressive specs or sleek design—it can also be about simple pleasures that brighten your day. It’s clear that while they push boundaries with their technology, Teslas are designed with not just transportation but also delight in mind.
