In the video, a red Model 3 is driven slowly by the camera, while an external audio system on the car says “Well don’t just stand there staring, hop in.” The caption in the tweet reads: “Teslas will soon talk to people if you want. This is real.” So if you’re driving down the street in your Tesla and you see someone you want to give a ride to, you can tell your car to extend the invitation for you.
The Verge reports that Musk revealed more details of the new system in a follow-up tweet. Apparently, he envisions it being added to the current sentry mode that sounds the alarm on the car’s internal sound system if its broken into. He also said that it will include a fart sound. Telsa has yet to reveal any details on when the feature might become available for consumers.
