One Tesla driver recently shared a delightful surprise—her car responds to some downright cheeky voice commands, and it all unfolded on TikTok. Known as Fly Girl (@flygirldeeezy), she showcased this amusing feature while seated in her Tesla Model S P85.
“Y’all, I need to share something I found on TeslaTok,” she exclaims, her excitement palpable as she waves her finger playfully in front of the camera. Then, with a flick of her phone, she captures the dashboard of her Tesla. A circular bubble with a microphone icon softly pulses in front of her, setting the stage for what’s to come.
With a grin, she boldly shouts, “Open butt hole!” now, that seems like an odd request for a car that certainly doesn’t have any gastrointestinal features, wouldn’t you agree? Yet, to her astonishment, the command worked! The camera shifts, revealing the back of the vehicle, and—lo and behold—its charging port cover pops open as if on cue.
Wrapping up the clip, she steps out to show off the exposed port basking in the sunlight, ready for a supercharge. The unexpected charm of this moment is truly a testament to Tesla’s playful spirit.
Tesla’s Unique Vibe
Under Elon Musk’s leadership, Tesla has become synonymous with excitement in the realm of electric vehicles (EVs), capturing the hearts of modern consumers. While it wasn’t the first-ever all-electric automaker, Tesla’s journey shattered expectations and redefined what an electric car can be, particularly with their hit Model 3, which attracted a wider market by seamlessly blending luxury with affordability.
This humorous incident gained traction online, first reported by outlets like Gizmodo back in 2021. It’s yet another example of the light-hearted culture that Tesla fosters. Back in 2019, when analysts were stunned to see Tesla outselling longstanding luxury car makers like BMW, Audi, and Mercedes, it became clear that Tesla was not just another car manufacturer—it was a movement.
Where many other EV models struggled, Tesla flourished, establishing itself as an aspirational brand associated with futuristic innovation. The sleek design and high-tech appeal, humorously captured in the playful acronym “S3XY,” which spells out the models (excluding the Cybertruck), has further cemented this image. Musk wasn’t shy about the original intention for the Model 3 to be named “Model E”—until Ford’s patent thwarted that. Thus, he turned to a creative play on words.
Yet recently, as controversies have surfaced around Musk himself—alongside a growing competition from other automakers—Tesla’s image as the ultimate “car of the future” has faced scrutiny. Still, the unique culture around Tesla, fueled by its whimsical software updates and fun features, makes it a community like no other.
The Lighthearted Side of Tesla
Humor creeps into various features of Tesla’s software, and this latest incident is far from the only instance of whimsy. For one, drivers can replace their turn signal sounds with fart noises, which adds a hilarious twist to the driving experience. Imagine the giggles as passengers are blindsided by a booming “toot” in the cabin!
Moreover, there’s the beloved “Caraoke” mode, where passengers can belt out their favorite tunes while lyrics flash rhythmically on the large screen—this feature has become particularly popular in China, adding a fun, social element to road trips.
Other playful Easter eggs include the festive “Santa Mode,” which fills the car with cheerful holiday sounds, showcasing a small graphic of Santa guiding his sleigh across the dashboard. And let’s not forget the coziness of the “Romance Mode,” featuring a crackling fireplace animation and sultry tunes designed to set the mood.
But Tesla’s delightful approach isn’t solely about giggles—it’s also remarkably functional. The company has packed its vehicles with a plethora of voice-command capabilities. Want to search something on Google? Just ask. Need to adjust your car’s settings or check the tire pressure? Voice prompts handle it all, making a driver’s life infinitely easier.
Additionally, the fun extends to some cheeky prompts like asking to “Open the Millennium Falcon” or “Open Flux Capacitor,” which deliver the same result as Fly Girl’s viral gag.
In these quirky features, one can see a brand that not only focuses on cutting-edge technology but also embraces the joy and laughter of driving. It’s a refreshing reminder that amidst the serious business of sustainable driving, there’s always room for a good laugh.
With the engaging culture and innovative personalities driving Tesla, it’s clear the company has built more than just vehicles; they’ve cultivated a vibrant community full of laughter, creativity, and a genuine love for the ride.
