How does this work when it comes to naming your Tesla? Well, when you save one of the below options as your Tesla name, each of them does something unique and cool.
- 42: This Easter Egg has a reference to Douglas Adams' sci-fi comedy ‘The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.' When you save your Tesla's name as just the number “42” the name of your vehicle changes to “Life, the Universe, and Everything.”
- Patsy: Naming your car Patsy will activate the Monty Python Easter Egg and drops down the Foot of Cupid on the display screen. You can achieve the same effect by using any of these names:
- Rabbit of Caerbannog
- Mr Creosote
- Flying Circus
- Biggus Dickus
- Unladen Swallow
