Are you a proud owner of a Tesla? Congratulations! One of the things I learned about owning a Tesla (way before I even ordered mine), was the ability to name the vehicle. In fact, Tesla owners take their names quite seriously, and they get very creative with them, coming up with some wicked names! After all, your Tesla is not just a car; it’s a state-of-the-art piece of technology that deserves a special name that not only reflects your personality but that of the car. To help you in this exciting naming endeavor, we’ve compiled a list of names to consider for your new Tesla. Before we get to the names, first, let’s discuss how to name your Tesla.
How to Change the Name of Your Tesla
On the mobile app
The easiest way is to open your Tesla mobile app. On the main page, you will see your vehicle and at the top left of the screen, you will see the currently assigned name. Click on the name and you will be presented with a window where you can enter your new name. Hit OK and you’re done. Easy as that – Your new wicked Tesla name has been locked in. (Of course, you can change it anytime you want).
On the car menu
The in-car menu is the other way to make the change. Click on the Car icon/symbol (bottom-left) to enter the car’s main menu. Navigate to the Software section. Just under the picture of your car, you’ll find the currently assigned name. Click on the name and you will be presented with a window where you can enter your new name. Hit OK and you’re done.
Easter Eggs
Tesla’s have many hidden features and funny Easter eggs that demonstrate the quirky origin and spirit of the company.
If you change your vehicle name to “Patsy”, “Rabbit of Caerbannog”, “Mr. Creosote”, “Unladen Swallow” or “Biggus Dickus”, you will be presented with a surprise animation and sound effect, plus you will unlock Monte Python video section in the Theater.
For the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy fans out there, try changing the name to “42” and see what happens next.
These are just a couple of the funny things to brighten up the mood in your new Tesla.
