Austin, Texas
On this drive, we start off by colorizing the Tesla on the screen and we select a nice deep purple color for the car. As we drive we’ll see some of Austin’s murals and artistic graffiti. But the best part of the podcast is the sound the car makes whenever it turns corners.
Tesla “Fart” mode
Tesla has always gone to great lengths to make its vehicles fun. When you select “fart mode” in your vehicle, whether it’s a Tesla Model S, 3, X, Y, or a Cybertruck, you’ll hear a delightful little emissions sound. This is a play on the fact that Tesla cars have ZERO emissions. Here’s your choices of fart sounds:
- Not a Fart (a reference to Not a Flamethrower that Boring Co. sold in 2018)
- Short Shorts Ripper (A hilarious tribute to TSLA stock short sellers)
- Falcon Heavy (SpaceX’s rocket with 2 boosters)
- Ludicrous Fart (Homage to SPACEBALLS, the movie)
- Neurastink (a reference to Neuralink)
- Boring (as in The Boring Company)
* The seventh choice, called “I’m so random,” will pick one of the sounds randomly.
Setting Fart Mode in the Tesla
Elon Musk’s Headstone
I’ll add a little personal note here. Elon Musk has said that when he passes away, he’d like his headstone to say, “INVENTOR OF THE CAR FART,” so when I met Elon on August 18th, 2022 at Gigafactory Texas, I asked him if he was okay with other automakers using fart mode. I was under the false impression that it was an exclusive patent. Elon informed me, in a serious matter-of-fact way, that he is perfectly fine with other OEMs using Fart Mode. His goal is to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy and he has made sure that all of Tesla’s patents are open-source, including Fart Mode.
