Of course the new software update for Tesla cars has a hidden feature. Of course, it's a sketch pad.

And of course, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced the feature with a drawing of what appears to be a farting unicorn.

Musk shared two drawings, the other one being a slightly displeased Mona Lisa, complete with a signature and all.

We'll leave it to the cruel, cruel world of Twitter to critique these. As for how to get the sketch pad in your Tesla, Musk shared that, too: Tap the T on your Tesla's center screen three times.

One user recorded a video showing the sketch pad in practice. Interestingly, when you're finished doodling, you don't get an option to save your file; instead, you can either quit or "submit your artwork to Tesla," whatever that means. Perhaps we'll see a gallery of the best sketch pad doodles soon?

The easter eggs on new versions of Tesla software have now become a tradition. Previously, we've seen one that displays your virtual Tesla on a Mario Kart Rainbow Road, while a far more elaborate trick turns the car into a Christmas light show miracle.
