It's an Easter Egg but Really it's a Christmas Party Trick
The new Tesla Model X, their 2016 SUV, has a pretty cool trick which is not even an option.
It's a pretty cool addition to the car's computer system (an Easter Egg as they call it - a hidden message or feature added by software developers when creating new software, and not always known).
I suppose when you are spending this kind of money on a car it should have something special. Read more about the Tesla's tricks on Gizmodo.
Hi Sharon Tara
Yeah it's pretty impressive. Wonder if other car makers will follow?

Jeff, a colleague of mine has a Tesla, and I must confess to feeling a bit of car envy.
Can't you just see it when a car like that passes one of the youngsters in their cars with the stereos blasting?
After dodging holiday shoppers in their cars rushing about, I think a car that may drive itself or give out warnings may be high on next years Christmas list. Like the ones in your photo. Dave

I haven't seen the SUV model yet but a number of the other models. It's a very cool car, in a number of ways

I don't know a Tesla owner but have seen a number of them in the area - I saw a black one the other day to die for! I get the envy!

Ha ha. Wouldn't that be fun! But I think the light show only works when the car is parked, not on the road. Can you imagine the havoc this would cause?

Yeah, I get that. Parking lots at holiday time are definitely worth avoiding - scary places. There is a car company that is going to test auto-drive cars this year in CA - can't recall who it is
