Tesla, almost half a million electric cars sold in 2020 and the latest update full of special sounds and games

The electric car market is growing every year and its leader is Tesla. One of the most successful months in the carmaker's history was last November when a total of 499,550 electric cars of all brands were sold. Besides, Tesla, with its Model 3 and Model Y cars, clearly holds the number one position with a market share of more than 15%. With its annual production, Tesla has more than doubled its biggest competitors such as the Chinese BYD or the German Volkswagen. Half a million cars sold is undoubtedly a great success and proof of the development of electromobility.

In addition to this news, with the new year, Tesla has brought a nice portion of news. In addition to various repairs and improvements, the owners of these cars can look forward to, for example, three new games that can be played on-board infotainment, or the possibility of changing the sound of the horn.

Firmware update with version number 2020.48.26 brings a new Boombox mode using the vehicle's external speaker. You can make passers-by and other drivers happy with, for example, applause, the sound of an ice cream truck or the sound of "tada", the sword of a goat, the hiss of a snake, the sound of a saxophone, the howl of a Melusine or the Christmas tinkling. In foreign media, however, the greatest attention was drawn to the possibility of replacing the sound of the horn with farting. It should be noted that in previous firmware it was possible to set this sound, which, however, was heard only indoors. Also, if you don't like the sound effects on offer, you can add up to five custom sounds via USB.

Other new features include three new games that can be played as part of infotainment. You can reduce the waiting time with The Battle of Polytopia, Cat Quest, and the legendary Solitaire. The Battle of Polytopia is a strategy game in which players command one of fifteen tribes. This is Musk's favourite title, which he mentioned several times in the past. In return, the game's developers created a video featuring a character named Elon Musk. In the future, it will be possible to play the game online against other Tesla owners. Cat Quest is an action video game set in the open world of Felingard. Players control a cat that wanders to save his kidnapped sister. Finally, Solitaire is a single-player card game, also known as Klondike. This is an almost legendary title that you may know from older versions of Windows. You can set the level in Tesla and the only one you can play this game while driving, which of course should not apply to drivers.
