In case you needed another reason to love the Tesla Model S, a newly discovered Easter egg now lets you play secret agent by turning your electric car into the submarine car from the James Bond film "The Spy Who Loved Me."
The Easter egg is accessed via the Tesla Model S' large 17-inch display, according to Jalopnik, who confirmed with Tesla Motors that the Easter egg was indeed real.
By first clicking on the control menu, Model S owners can hold down the "T" button to bring up the technician login screen. Next just type in James Bond's "007" code name, and the on-screen car is transformed into the submersible Lotus Esprit S1 car.
Here's what the Easter egg looks like (notice the suspension has been transformed into "Depth (Leagues)" with a maximum depth of 20,000 leagues).
While it is impressive that nobody discovered this Easter egg before now, it should not come as too much of a surprise. Tesla CEO Elon Musk gained attention when he purchased the actual Lotus Esprit S1 car used in the James Bond film "The Spy Who Loved Me" for $866,000, and Musk says he plans to convert it into a fully functional submersible vehicle.
In the meantime, however, Musk and other Tesla Model S owners can have the next best thing. Just add it to the list of cool features you can show off the next time you give someone a ride — don't forget the car's "insane mode."
To see the submarine transformation in action, you can watch the below video tutorial of how to access the Easter egg.
