Elon Musk and the Tesla team are always up for a bit of fun.
Given that the Model X was a car they spent years perfecting, they decided to add some fun Easter Eggs into the car.
Once such Easter Egg was Xmas mode, sometimes called Celebration mode.
What does Xmas Mode / Celebration Mode Do?
The Tesla Model X celebration mode puts on a light show, combined with a specific music track and adds a bit of a dance show using the doors and windows.
The Tesla moves and flashes headlights and turn signals in time to a song called Wizards in Winter by Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
It might not be to everyone’s taste, as it is a bit of a heavy metal instrumental, but it is certainly a unique display of the Tesla Model Xs capabilities.
