New fart sound app integration is Tesla’s way of celebrating the holidays
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.

ou 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.

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 honor of his various ventures, but then again, we shouldn’t be surprised by Musk.
Here are some of the toots in action:
