Tesla’s fart mode is a whimsical feature that produces a noxious toot from any seat in the car. Depending on the model, a Tesla can have as many as seven types of fart noises under its belt.
But other than the fart mode, Tesla vehicles also have other unique features, including caraoke, an arcade setting, and dog mode.
Tesla’s fart mode debuted in 2018. You’ll typically find this feature disguised as a whoopie cushion.
Tesla cars are certified head-turners, and they can be mean pranksters, too一especially when the driver whips out the fart mode.
A Closer Look at Tesla’s Fart Mode
Teslas don’t consume gas, but they can release some in a funny way. All Teslas have the fart mode, which works with an external speaker. This fun feat in Tesla’s Toy Box is disguised as a whoopie cushion that lets out a noxious toot from a specific seat.

But if you navigate through the car’s touchscreen, you won’t find a “fart mode” feature on it. That’s because the bathroom-inspired prank is labeled as “Emissions Testing Mode.”
For some, Tesla’s fart feature might seem unnecessary, but for others, the innovation is a great way to make driving more fun. In fact, the automaker put so much thought into creating the Emissions Testing Mode that it releases seven fart noises with varying decibels and lengths.
The fart mode on Teslas actually made its debut in 2018 as an easter egg in a software update. It came with the fireplace feature that displays a fireplace on the screen, adjusts the temperature to get the cabin warm, and plays romantic music in the background.
Other Fun Tesla Features
The fart mode is only one of the many features you can enjoy when driving a Tesla. Here are some of the other ones you might want to try out.
Caraoke
The Caraoke feature was introduced in 2019. It lets passengers jam out to their favorite songs from the comfort of their own Tesla, but it only works when the car is parked. In China, the Caraoke feat is best enjoyed with the TeslaMic, which are in-car karaoke microphones.
Arcade Setting
Tesla’s infotainment system has a bunch of apps designed to keep drivers entertained when they’re stuck in traffic or parked somewhere and need to kill time. Its arcade setting is one of them, which lets the driver play games using the steering wheel buttons or USB controller.
Tesla owners have three options when it comes to unlocking their cars.
There are a lot of things that make the Tesla unique, and the automaker made sure to stay that way by having everything covered up to the smallest detail一the key.
Tesla owners have three options when it comes to unlocking their cars. And while the phone app or card is a convenient way to go, there are still some who prefer to use the key fob, which looks like a mini version of a Tesla.
Dog Mode
Tesla vehicles are also designed with your furry friend’s comfort in mind. The dog mode feature adjusts the cabin temperature to prevent animal overheating and displays a message for bystanders to let them know that your pet is safe and you’ll be back shortly.
