Neat Model 3 "Easter Egg" found

[JoshG]

There's a well-known Tesla "Easter Egg" on the Model S where you can call up a hidden photo of the original Model S development team.

Not sure if this has already been reported, but, on a hunch, I tried the same trick on our Model 3, and sure enough, it's there, and of course the photo is updated to now show what presumably is the core team of developers of the Model 3, and this time Elon is front and center.

Press your "T" (Tesla Logo) on the top of the main screen to bring up your standard "About" dialog box. Now press and hold the big "3" in the "Model 3" label for about 10 seconds. The little rendering of your car will race off to the left side of the screen and get replaced with a photo of the Tesla Model 3 development team.

Thanks for sharing this .

BTW, the guy in the bright green t-shirt in that photo was smart - he sure is easy for his mom to pick out from all the others who (mostly) wore black.

The car in the photo looks like the unique silver color release candidate car with white interior from 3/31.

Yep, it’s the alpha prototype. See how there’s no AP2 camera on the right front fender’s turn signal indicator?

Thanks for this info! Hope you don’t mind, I linked to your post on the M3OC forum for them to see these too.

I didn't know MS had this Easter egg as well. Does MX also have it?

 

[woof]

Does MX also have it?

Yes.

Only one person with a white T-shirt there; I just learned I am an extreme oddball.

I feel a bit cheated now. On our X it shows a picture with a model S, not the model X team

Am I the only one that noticed there are only 3 females?

 

[K-MTG]

If I click on Elon...can I call him? Lol

Well done!

320 miles? Is this Model 3 record?

I'm married. I don't notice other females.

just wondering - how many of that lot have been canned

Ha - not even close. You've missed that Model 3 that's already done coast-to-coast in a new Cannonball EV record time?

After I posted this I realized this was the mileage - at first I thought it was the state of charge

 

[JoshG]

My slight disappointment with this easter egg has always been that as the little rendering of your car races off to the left of the screen, its wheels don't spin. It kinda slides off screen rather than drives. I mean, where are their UI engineers' priorities? They couldn't animate the spinning wheels? Sloppy.

Ah - got it. Yes, that would be impressive. I've done a full "Trip" charge at a supercharger and it stopped at 310, just as claimed. I even let it do a full 15 minute "rebalance" or whatever it does after it finishes charging but keeps drawing power, and it never got above 310.
