New Tesla Voice Command Will Let Your Car Fart |

Coming soon to all Tesla models equipped with an external speaker is a new feature that will allow your car to make loud farting sounds outside the vehicle. This new feature addition has been confirmed by Elon’s recent tweet earlier in March.

According to Elon's tweet, the fart sound, which is currently a feature within Tesla’s Toybox, will require you to say “Fart in their general direction.” Party Favors Toys Kids

New Tesla voice command will let your car fart

Currently, the Toybox feature is housed within the Entertainment section of the car's infotainment system.

One of the features available in the Toybox is Emissions Testing Mode. It lets the car play random fart noises through its speakers.

You can choose which individual speaker the sound comes from, giving the impression that the fart sound is coming from a specific individual or seat.

You can also have your car do things like play the Holiday Show, switch on Mars Mode, which puts the vehicle in a Martian landscape, and even turn on Romance Mode, which allows you to cozy up with your loved ones by the virtual fireplace.

With Tesla continuing to enhance the entertainment features of the vehicle, the new fart feature will utilize the vehicles Pedestrian Warning System (PWS), which plays media externally on cars. When Tesla first started including the PWS speaker in cars back in 2019, it was only designed to play a low humming sound while at low speeds when either in drive or reverse. It was added to cars to comply with US regulations.

With this new feature, Tesla likely will also let the sound play on the internal speakers if your vehicle is not equipped with a PWS.

Coming soon, if you want your car to make a loud farting sound from the external speaker, just say “Fart in their general direction!”

Tesla has added various voice commands to enhance the driver’s experience, but this will be one of the few voice commands that are Toybox specific. Another popular voice command tied to a Toybox feature is "Enable Santa Mode, " which will start Santa Mode.

Most Tesla owners take advantage of the Climate Control voice commands and the media commands while driving, but we also have our list of the top five voice commands, or you can choose to view all the available voice commands.

No. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA), Tesla faced a software-based recall that Elon Musk blames the “fun police.” The NHSTA is unhappy that Tesla allowed drivers to play sounds like a fart noise on an external speaker. Federal officials said it’s a huge safety issue for pedestrians who might not interpret those “fun” sounds as a proper warning system or alert to pedestrians.

Tesla has since released a firmware update to disable the Boombox feature while driving. As of update 2022.8, you can no longer use Boombox while in drive if you're in the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico.

When this feature is released, it’ll be a great addition to the Emissions Toybox feature and, most importantly, make owning a Tesla even more entertaining. Stay tuned for the new fart feature in an upcoming update.

Tesla’s new vehicle development team is working on what could be the next big thing. But the next Tesla won’t just be another great-looking, zero-emissions, fast car full of fun extras. That would be too easy. No, the team will make another groundbreaking vehicle and revolutionize its production. The CEO also predicts it will outsell all the other models.

Elon Musk said, “we’re on a 2-for-1 target,” when addressing the next platform for the company. That means engineers are working on a plan to build two vehicles with the same amount of effort it takes to put together one Model 3. Musk told investors during the third quarter earnings call, “we’re twice the output. And we do believe this can be done.”

The 2-for-1 plan seems all-encompassing, from cutting costs, production times and even the amount of floor space needed in the factories. “I mean, obviously, we’re going to take everything we learned from S, 3, X, Y, Cybertruck and Semi and forward into that platform.”

But the new vehicle remains a mystery, both in design and delivery. Musk said, “we don’t want to talk exact dates, but this is the primary focus of our new vehicle development team, obviously. At this point, we’ve done the engineering for Cybertrucks and Semi. So, it’s obviously what we’re working on, which is the next-generation vehicle.” Keeping that information to himself, Musk did say it would cost as much as the Model 3 and Y platforms.

There’s been a lot of speculation as to what the next Tesla vehicle will be. Musk has said that the company would build a full-size van or a minivan — maybe both. He’s talked about creating a “highly configurable” van as well. However, with the skyrocketing interest in electric vehicles, Tesla may bring back the idea of a less expensive car, referred to as the Model 2. It’s been reported that this vehicle would have a price tag of $25,000 USD.

It's also possible that Tesla's next vehicle will be its Robotaxi, or that Tesla will leverage the platform for multiple vehicles.

But, again, Musk was not giving up specifics but said, “It will be smaller, to be clear. But it will, I think, certainly become, certainly exceed the production of all our other vehicles combined.”

A highly configurable van would be a hot seller for families, delivery services and work vehicles. But, at the same time, the smaller, much less expensive car would also drive up sales. Either way, the team is working on it — so we should learn more soon.

Elon Musk is quite a salesperson, but on December 1, 2022, Tesla’s CEO will take on the role of sales and delivery when he hands over the first production in-person to Pepsi. It’s fitting that it will happen at a company that has used slogans like: The Choice of a New Generation, A Generation Ahead and Generation Next.

Tesla will use that day to mark the beginning of a significant ramp-up in the production of the highly anticipated heavy-load haulers. Musk brought investors up to speed on the Semis during the quarter three earnings call.

It’s been expected that the Semi would use the more advanced 4680 battery, but Musk shot that down, “Okay. The Semi doesn’t use 4680s,” he said when asked about deploying the batteries across the fleet. Instead, he said they are being used in Model Y as they continue to grow the production of the pack.

The company reported that manufacturing of the 4680 cells has tripled in the quarter and continues to snowball. Musk said, “production of 4680 ramp-up is growing exponentially. And yes, it’s going well. We’re just looking at this. It’s going to be a major pack in the future.” He later added, “we still feel confident that 4680 will be the most competitive battery cell in the world.”

It’s assumed the Semi uses the 2170 battery, but that doesn’t change the power and range that the company has been advertising, “very important, no sacrifice to cargo capacity, 500-mile range. Just to be clear, 500 miles with the cargo,” repeated Musk.

The CEO also predicted the numbers when they increase production in the coming years. “And we’ll be ramping up Semi production through next year. As I think everyone knows at this point, it takes about a year to ramp up production. So, we expect to see significant — we’re tentatively aiming for 50,000 units in 2024 for Tesla Semi in North America.” He added that Tesla would expand beyond North America.

Since he was talking to investors, he pointed out the value of the Semis, “I don’t want to say the exact prices, but they’re much more than a passenger vehicle. So, with a few thousand heavy trucks of this nature, it would be worth several Model Ys.”

It’s been five years since Musk arrived at a Tesla event in a Semi to introduce the vehicle that will change the trucking industry. So here is a story to refresh your memory: Everything We Know About the Tesla Semi.
