Serial pest Elon Musk announced a collaboration with Atari earlier this morning which would see the next update to Tesla cars include some of the gaming company’s classic titles as easter eggs. What could possibly go wrong?

Announced via a tweet, Musk said the games would be released as part of the “Tesla V9.0 release in about 4 weeks”.

When asked for a list of games, Musk said Tempest, Missile Command, and Pole Position would all be included, with the last to be linked to the actual steering wheel of the car. Again, what could possibly go wrong?
Hoping to include last three in this release, with pole position linked to actual car steering wheel (while stationary tbc haha)

He later added that “There’s still time to squeeze some more easter eggs in,” so I feel like we could be dealing with a long list of games. We’re not really sure how all of this is going to work, but we sure do hope the car needs to be completely stationary to access them. The last thing Musk or anyone needs is for someone to crash their Tesla because they were too busy playing fucking Pac-Man.
Atari was founded in 1972 and was the company behind other classics like Pong, Breakout, Asteroids, Centipede, and heaps more.
