Elon Musk is on fire these days, first landing a rocket on a floating barge in the middle of the ocean and now unveiling a Mario Kart easter egg for Tesla owners.
Activate autopilot 4X in quick succession for psychedelic cowbell road. And, yes, we are adding more cowbell soon.

When Tesla’s Autopilot mode is activated within a Model S or Model X, similar to most GPS systems in cars, it shows your vehicle driving and its location on the dashboard screen.
However, instead of a normal road, Tesla added a wrinkle where your vehicle can cruise down Mario Kart’s famous Rainbow Road instead.
Honestly, as awesome as it looks, staring at the colorful Rainbow Road while in a vehicle in real life would probably give me a seizure so I’ll leave it to others to enjoy this unique easter egg.
Of course, it would help if I had a Tesla to try it out in the first place…
