- 2:18Hello, and welcome back to the Elon Musk podcast is a daily
- 2:22podcast about everything, Elon Musk space, EXT, Tesla too,
- 2:27boring, flamethrowers memes, anything Elon Musk.
- 2:31So if you're a Tesla owner, you're in for a really cool
- 2:37update, Elon Musk tweeted customized, horn and movement,
- 2:43sounds coconuts. Being one of course coming to
- 2:46Teslas soon. He said that on September 6 of
- 2:51this year. So if you haven't heard about
- 2:55it, you know, this is this is pretty cool, this is pretty
- 2:59goofy. And of course, Elon Musk is a
- 3:01goofball. If you wants funny things to
- 3:03happen, like instead of sending a big block of cement He sent a
- 3:10Tesla into space because basically the block of cement
- 3:14would have been a test. So instead he's like what kind
- 3:17of is about the same size as the block of cement, what's kind of
- 3:20the same weight? Oh, my car.
- 3:22So let's send a Tesla to space. And this is pretty cool.
- 3:27It's goofy, you know, so it's a funny thing to do and the
- 3:30Coconuts the Coconuts sound It's a direct reference to Monty
- 3:37Python and the Holy Grail. One of Elon musk's favorite
- 3:41movies and in this film King Arthur who's the main character.
- 3:46He searches for the Holy Grail and during the introduction of
- 3:50King Arthur. You could see him Galloping in
- 3:54on an imaginary horse. And the sound of the hoofs.
- 4:01The it's to Coconut shells smacking together.
- 4:06It's a really funny movie. If you haven't seen it, I mean,
- 4:09you're doing yourself a disservice, this, this movie is
- 4:12classic. And this is one of the scenes
- 4:14that apparently Elon Musk finds very funny.
- 4:17So of course, how hard could it be to program in this sound?
- 4:22Probably not that hard at all. So October 6th.
- 4:27Customized horn in movement, sounds coconuts.
- 4:29Being one, of course, says Elon Musk.
- 4:32And then he also said, farts and goat sounds to also, of course,
- 4:42so, The fart sound could be a horn, of course, and the goat
- 4:50sound, the bag of a goat is also, the hordes of is that
- 4:55legal. I'm just I'm just throwing this
- 4:56out there. Is that legal?
- 4:58I don't know if you have to have a standardized kind of horn
- 5:02sound in order for it to be legal, but I guess this is, this
- 5:07is one of those things that you learn musk is looked up and
- 5:09Tesla's looked up, so Tesla's decision to make.
- 5:13The noisemaker came in response to the National Highway
- 5:15Transportation, safety administration's pedestrian,
- 5:18enhancement, safety act of 2010. That was a huge one, The nhtsa
- 5:23Pedestrian and handsome, it safety act.
- 5:26They passed the act in October of 2009 and the report
- 5:33concluded, the blind. Pedestrians were subjected to a
- 5:35distant additional risks when in the vicinity of electric
- 5:39vehicles, due to the lack of noise and we all know electric
- 5:42vehicles, very quiet. You can barely hear the rubber
- 5:45on the road, you know, there's no combustion engine, that's
- 5:49vroom vrooming these vehicles down the street.
- 5:52So you have to make some noise, right?
- 5:56And especially at low speeds. You can't hear anything.
- 6:00There's no Transmissions from the engine, there's no tail
- 6:04pipes that emit sound and this is Tesla's answer to that.
- 6:10All cars are operating with strictly, batteries will have to
- 6:12contain a noisemaker but by September 1st of 2020 and
- 6:19because these vehicles don't make any well, very little noise
- 6:24between 0 and 19 mph. / H, they need this.
- 6:28So, Elon Musk thought it was funny, too.
- 6:31To make the coconut sounds and the fart sounds and the goat
- 6:35sounds. So, if you have a Tesla, this is
- 6:39something you can really look forward to it.
- 6:41You can also customize your own sounds, apparently.
- 6:44That's one of those things going forward.
- 6:45They're going to, of course, have a whole batch of sounds to
- 6:48choose from in the beginning. So you don't have to make your
- 6:53own sounds or upload your own stuff.
- 6:56Right away. So you will have some default
- 6:58sounds when this takes place in September 1st of 2020.
- 7:02So you have about a year to get ready for this.
- 7:05So choose your sounds wisely my friends because your car could
- 7:10be the funniest car ever. Now I want to say thank you to
