Tesla CEO Elon Musk has announced he will be deactivating a hidden ‘New Year’s Fireworks Mode’ in the next Cybertruck update after one model exploded in front of a Trump hotel in Las Vegas.
Reportedly the secret feature is installed on all Cybertrucks and according to a redacted early version of the user manual, the mode triggers “a fun show for all family and friends (single use only).”
Tesla has released a statement saying, “We’re just happy it wasn’t the battery that exploded this time.” They went on to explain that they put the feature in as a joke but never expected anyone to actually find the mode. The feature can only be accessed by ‘jailbreaking’ the truck to access the code itself and once accessed, the user must say, “Go-go Cybertruck: fireworks” to initiate the display.
As a final failsafe the fireworks were programmed to only go off at midnight on New Year’s Eve and when parked in front of a Trump property.
This user happened to meet all these criteria but due to a malfunction, the show was delayed and went up on the morning of New Year’s Day. Tesla is investigating the cause of this malfunction.
The explosion injured seven and killed the driver so ironically there is no cause for celebration.
In light of the recent news, Jaguar has announced they will no longer be going ahead with their long-rumored, ‘Pride Celebration Mode’ in which their new Type 00 vehicle emits a watery mist over the headlights to create a beautiful rainbow. “It wouldn’t be appropriate now,” said a spokesperson.
Elon Musk (AKA Kekius Maximus, AKA Adrian Dittmann, AKA the world’s richest man so far) has apologized for creating the mode and said he is working with law enforcement to discover the perpetrator of this heinous crime and bring them to justice. Musk did however add that it was because of the truck’s durability and strength that the blast was directed upward and not sideways into the Trump hotel itself.
Elon posted to X (the website that he owns), “The evil knuckleheads picked the wrong vehicle for a terrorist attack. Cybertruck actually contained the explosion and directed the blast upwards. Not even the glass doors of the lobby were broken.” Weird flex, but OK.
