Tesla tested an Easter Egg in software update

The latest Tesla software update brings anticipated new features to Autopilot 2.0 cars, including Summon, which calls your car to you from its parking spot, but it also has a lighter side, as Tesla software updates tend to.

Tesla added a new Easter Egg (a goofy software gag generally slightly hidden from view) to its vehicles with the 8.1 update, and this time it’s a sketch pad. The 17-inch touchscreen that dominates the Tesla Model S center panel is basically already a huge digital surface primed for drawing, so it’s a natural add-on – not counting that most of the time you’re going to be using the screen while driving, of course.

Once owners download the 8.1 software version, they can try out the new feature, which is enabled by double tapping the "T" on the vehicle's center screen. The touchscreen—normally where the entire infotainment, including navigation and climate controls are displayed—turns white. A marker, pen, or eraser can be chosen as well as a color wheel to create a drawing. Users can also control the size of the drawing implement.
Once the drawing is complete, users can hit a publish button and are asked a question: "Are you sure want Tesla to critique your artistic masterpiece?" Users then hit one of two buttons: "Yes, I'm an Artist!" or "No, the world isn't ready for my art."

Wherever they go, apparently Musk can see them. He tweeted these masterpieces Wednesday night:
