Tesla vehicles are known to be treasure troves of Easter eggs, and now the EV manufacturer has added new ones for the holiday season.
While last year Tesla celebrated the holidays with a “Santa Mode” Easter egg, this December the surprise is a “fart app.” Yes, owners of Tesla vehicles, you can now play several fart notes by touching the big screen at the center of your vehicle’s dashboard.
Discovered by Electrek, the “feature” was previewed by Elon Musk via a tweet over the weekend that read “Tesla ? app almost done. Important to get every note right!”
Tesla ? app almost done. Important to get every note right!

That emoji is known as the “fart” emoji, so not many people realized what Musk was referring to. However, when users started discovering the Easter egg, things became pretty clear. Included in a new version of Tesla’s vehicle software, the “fart app” allows users to choose between “on demand” farts and farts when using the turn signal.
There are plenty of noises available and they’re listed under funny names that allude to Elon Musk and his ventures. For example, there’s one called “Not a Fart” that hints at The Boring Company’s “Not a Flamethrower”.
Also related to The Boring Company is the self-explanatory “Boring Fart.” Other easy ones are the “Falcon Heavy” (SpaceX’s biggest rocket that launched the Tesla Roadster into space), “Ludicrous Fart,” and “Neurastink” (a reference to Musk’s Neuralink company). “Short Shorts Ripper” and “I’m so random” round off the list.
Along with the “fart app,” the software update brings a “fireplace” Easter egg that turns the center screen into a fireplace, turns the heat up, and plays romantic music. Tesla users are now faced with a difficult decision: use the fireplace app before or after the virtual fart fest?
