What was the Boombox feature?
It was a feature by the EV maker that allowed the drivers to play preset, fart or goat sounds, or custom sounds, from an external speaker in the moving vehicle.
In 2022, Tesla recalled over 500,000 vehicles in the USA due to a decision by federal regulators that the feature could increase the risk of a collision. Musk wasn’t happy with the decision and blamed “fun police” for the recall.
