This is what happens when you tell your Tesla to 'Open Butthole'

Now it's tied to your charging port door, but it used to open something different — where is your real butthole, Tesla!?

Tesla must be reaching some sort of mutant puberty, because its body is changing like crazy. And not just in the usual, hair-in-new-places kind of way either, but in a far more drastic and potentially unhealthy manner.

Its butthole has up and migrated. 

Let me explain. 

Recently, Twitter user and Tesla whisperer Christian (a.k.a. @tesla_master) informed the world of an anatomically inspired Easter Egg hidden in Tesla’s vehicles.

Just say “Open Butthole” to the Tesla voice command, and the car will pop open its rear charge port. Other Tesla owners are confirming it.

It’s not that classy a trick, but it is entertaining in the same way that getting a car to fart or even bark is. Some teenage boys (and auto journalists) will surely giggle.

But here’s why I believe this new feature is probably something that should be checked out by a doctor: this isn’t where Tesla’s “butthole” used to be located.

Back in April of 2020, a delighted YouTuber told their Tesla to open its butthole and this happened.

Apparently the command used to be wired to the glove compartment.

Metaphorically, I’m not sure which location makes less sense as an anus, the interior storage compartment where you usually keep valuable documents (not shit); or the literal port for the car’s energy source.

Then there’s the fact that the car’s exterior speakers do the farting, if you’re so inclined. HOW DOES YOUR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM WORK, TESLA!? 

Either way it feels unhealthy, and you should probably get that butthole thing looked at.
