After over a year’s worth of sparring, Tesla finally conceded to the U.S. government last week regarding its electric vehicles’ “Boombox” external car speaker feature. An over-the-air software update was issued, and just like that, half-a-million cars could no longer make fart noises at their drivers’ command; gone in the blink of an eye as if Thanos had snapped his Infinity Gauntlet-clad fingers. But for farts.
Elon Musk was quick to issue a statement via Twitter on the decision. When asked by a fan why Tesla recalled the Boombox feature, the Technoking responded that “the fun police made us do it (sigh).”
