well, Someone has to program all the silly crap that Tesla is offering on its many upgrades to the firmware. BTW I'm sure they don't use Fortran, or Forth or anything like that.
quote (effective Sept 2018):
Tesla added a couple of fun and goofy Easter Eggs for Tesla owners to enjoy even when they’re just sitting in their Teslas, for example:
Here’s what each new feature does:
• Romance Mode: Provides a video of a roaring fireplace on the car’s center-stack LCD screen (or, only screen on the Model 3). According to the on-screen description
“Experience the warmth of our virtual fireplace with Romance Mode. To enable Romance Mode when your car is in Park, tap the Tesla “T” at the top center of the touchscreen, then tap the fireplace logo in your Easer Egg tray.”
•Pole Position: This is an adaption of the iconic old-school racing game Pole Position, still in glorious, pixel-chunky 8-bits but recast with a Tesla and set on Mars. You can only play in Park, and you use the car’s steering wheel to control the car in the game.
•Emissions Testing Mode: Finally, a way to turn your $80,000 state-of-the-art car into a giant Whoopee cushion. You can pick from multiple fart sounds, including Not a Fart, Short Shorts Rapper, Falcon Heavy, Ludicrous Fart, Neurastink, Boring Fart, and what seems to be a fart randomizer.Interestingly, there’s options for controlling what seat the fart appears to be emitting from, which must use some interesting acoustic control.
