New Rainbow Road Easter Egg on the Instrument Cluster

[Todd Burch]

It would have been REALLY cool if when in this mode the other traffic turned into King Koopa on a 50cc go-kart.

Missed opportunity, Tesla...

Yep, just tried it and it works! But when you pull the stalk 5 times quickly, you gotta do it real fast. At first it didn't work for me because I wasn't fast enough.

It is actually 4 times. Was announced by Elon in a tweet.

Sigh...

They have time to add Easter eggs but not to fix glaring issues.

Different teams, maybe? Although I haven't found an issue glaring enough to warrant taking it into the service center to expedite the update. I was getting so tired of waiting, but finally received it today after complaining online here. Maybe just my time, or maybe someone was listening?

Musk Reveals 'Psychedelic cowbell road' Easter Egg (Video)

Engage Autopilot by pulling on the cruise control stalk towards you. Once Autopilot is activated as confirmed by the Autopilot icon highlighted in blue, pull on the cruise control stalk four times in rapid succession to unlock a rainbow ‘psychedelic cowbell road’.

I have not read the release note yet but what are the updates/fixes other than the rainbow road cowbell?

Nothing known (release notes are the same as previous versions), but speculation is that it fixes a scrollwheel issue some were experiencing, and improves reliability and performance of summon with Homelink.

Again, all speculation by some who have perceived improvements in those areas.

Actually the scroll wheel issue was something that people were saying they thought was fixed in a version one or two releases before this one. It's just that this is a more widespread release.

Here is the origin of the "more cowbell" music that you hear just after you turn the Easter egg on:

(An SNL sketch)
What Elon really meant is: They are going to add more "Bells and Whistles".... Let's wait and see!

 

[Lightmatrix]

Ah hah! I finally got it to work yesterday, I just pulled a bunch of times really fast and it worked. Love it!

I'm tellin' ya... fellas, you're gonna want that cowbell!

I hadn't watched that video in quite some time. I had forgotten that one of the funniest things about it is Jimmy Fallon trying hard, but failing, to hold it together!

I'm convinced "cowbell" is code for "autopilot." More cowbell means more autonomous. With this in mind, would somebody on Twitter please tweet Elon and ask if the Model 3 will be completely cowbell?

Has Elon actually explicitly mentioned how to unlock an Easter egg before? If not, maybe it was taking too long for somebody to find this one ...

 

[Todd Burch]

I think cowbell was just referring to tricks or features. It wan't some kind of coded message.

I can't imagine that he felt this one took too long for someone to find, since a video of it was on Youtube either the day of the release, or a day after.

Not to mention the fact that the video of the Easter Egg was posted quite a while before Musk tweeted about it.

Oh, never mind then.
