Anyone hearing "SEGA" when the car boots up?

[juli1]

Hi all,

For months now, when I reboot the car (two buttons + pedal pressed) or after a software update, I hear the "SEGA" sound playing (the same as the one when I start the sonic game).

Does that happen to other folks as well or just me?

I wish!

That’s a blast from the past. No, I don’t hear that noise, but this post makes me wish Sonic was one of the built in games.

I believe it is?

I think only on the pre-11/2021s... somewhere around when they took away the center console USB-C data functionality, cars without it didnt get Sonic and I think(?) some other game(s)

Occasionally, I hear “Zuul.” Weird!

Yup, I don't know when it started, but it happens occasionally.

So how do you play games with controllers? The glovebox?

Center console USB ports on pre-11/2021s.

Glovebox USB port for post-11/2021. There are 3rd parties that make hubs which allow you to have controllers and a sentry mode USB attached. I'm guessing since it's not an "official" thing, Tesla just doesn't put certain games on those cars to avoid complaints

I have a 2020 Model Y and I have Sonic.

Yes. I thought it was funny too. Had a feeling it was because I had played sonic last. But I’ll double check if it still does it. Last play was Cupheads so I’ll circle back. Actually I also tried xbox gamepass with halo infinite but it was pushing that little Intel Atom hard haha

For controller got a USB dongle from USB-C to USB-A, then plugged in a XBox One controller. Only worked on wire, not on bluetooth. My Nvidia Shield controller did not work.

This actually isn't the first time I've seen this very question. But I don't remember where I saw the prior discussions and can't find any links to them. IIRC there was a guess that it might happen because the owner had played Sonic recently (prior to the reboot), and the system remembered that and loaded up Sonic during the reboot. In any case - probably a software bug.

I added data & power capable center usb-c ports to my model y which was made after 11/2021 via t-Part’s data module products. I have hooked up two game controllers and listen to flac audio from usb stick.

I randomly have the Polytopia them song play when I startup the car. Then again, I used to play it all the time so I figured it was just residual data stuck in Memory.

Same here with 2022.36.2 every time I reboot the car

 

[Jd2pictures]

It’s been happening as of late for me

 

[antneed]

Yes I have heard Sonic after recently updating my 2022 MYLR …I thought it was just me hearing things…lol

 

[Chris350]

I have this very same issue... Reboot and the car screams SEGA....

Not sure what the issue is... M3 RWD LR 2018

 

[Stream]

Did you try that Sonic game and did the bootup-sound start after that?

 

[Tha_Ape]

I want custom start up sounds now.... maybe even a custom animation. I'd like to see TESLA in the "SEGA" font appear on the screen like it did on the consoles and say "TES-LA!!".

Someone with Twitter... make it happen!
