Voice control is also getting better and better at Tesla.
Now the Californians have integrated a new command.
That makes for amusement on the internet.
Palo Alto - "Come on, don't let me down" during a tight overtaking maneuver or "Dumpster" when the car doesn't want to start again in winter: If you love your vehicle, talk to it from time to time. Tesla drivers are said to have a particularly close relationship with their vehicles. The nice thing about it is: Thanks to voice assistants, a Tesla is particularly obedient. Twice as nice: a Tesla takes insults literally, but stays cool and does what you ask of it.
If you command a Tesla to “Open Butthole”, which is translated very carefully to ventilate the bottom, the car sparks immediately and opens its charging socket on the rear left.
The rude voice command caused amusement among Twitter users this week.
Numerous videos are now making the rounds.
They show that the voice command works on a number of Tesla models, including older models.
Tesla's "Butthole" command was considered an "Easter Egg" that apparently went live during a software update recently.
"Easter Egg" is the term used to describe more or less funny jokes that software developers hide in their programs.
Tesla's "Open Butthole" voice command isn't the first feature below the belt
It wouldn't be the first time Tesla has hidden Easter eggs like this.
In addition to a Mars and Mario Kart mode, in which a Tesla pretends to be a Mars rover or a video game racing roll in its navigation system, there is even a - yes, you have to call it that - fart mode: on the large display in the In the cockpit, a whoopee pillow appears, which roars or whistles in silence when you tap it - depending on whether you have previously selected a "trouser-tearing fart" or a "fart" in the drop-down menu.
Who coded this?

And now the “Open Butthole” voice command.
He fits the fart mode like ass on bucket.
Apparently it's not a joke this time.
But not seriously meant either.
It's probably just a software bug.
Twitter users quickly found out that the charging socket can be opened with any word, as long as you add an "Open" to it.
“Open Butthole” voice command in German: Tesla's cars can be insulted internationally
For example, a Tesla driver commands his car to “Open Vegetable!” In a Twitter video. The display then shows this text correctly, so it understands it and still reports "Charging connection open". He also found that the flap even opens when he orders his Tesla not to open it. “Do not open the charge port,” he says. The charging socket pops up anyway.
Sometimes new voice commands only find their way from the USA to Germany with a delay, as at the beginning of the week when Apple's Siri voice recognition system told American users the hitherto secret date for the next product presentation. The apparently new command to open the loading flap with any designation after the verb, on the other hand, also works in German, as

found. As long as the alleged software error has not been resolved, Tesla drivers can let off steam with the new feature. And should your Stromer go on strike like the “dung cart” from the opening example because the juice is running out, the choice of words might actually revolve around the very best.
