Tesla Model S

-

While the other cars on this list on this list have design-related Easter eggs, Tesla has gone for features hidden in the car’s software. Tesla boss Elon Musk is a massive nerd, so he has packed his cars utterly full of pop culture Easter eggs, including the famous one that replaces the Model S on the settings display with James Bond’s submersibl­e Lotus Espirit (which Musk actually owns) and the Ludicrous setting that alludes to the Mel Brooks film Spaceballs. Other hidden treats include one that turns the sat-nav into a map of Mars, complete with Mars Rover, a Mario Kart reference and the latest one that turns the massive centre touch-screen into a sketch pad.
