Regardless of what you think of the man, no one can deny that Tesla head Elon Musk is the most eccentric auto giant to enter the industry. His latest uncommon idea is a simpler one: custom car sounds.

Imagine that instead of a standard honk, your car made the bleating of a goat. Or if a gentle marimba played instead of "engine noises." This is the idea that Musk revealed are in development for Tesla vehicles on Twitter.

"Customized horn & movement sounds (coconuts being one, of course) coming to Teslas soon"


Before you ask: this is perfectly legal, depending on the state you live in. California has laws specifically allowing this, for example. It'll likely be disabled for vehicles in illicit states, or at least an optional setting.

It's not just the honking. The vehicles will be able to emit noises while driving to replace the vehicle exhaust sound. The example given was Monty Python's coconuts but we can't help be reminded of the Canto, an electric vehicle by Nissan that "sings" while to drive. This allows pedestrians to hear a vehicle coming without adding unpleasant noise to the environment. we imagine that this would allow for a similar thing with Teslas.

You absolutely know someone is going to make a fart honk for their car.
