Tesla CEO Elon Musk just revealed a new Easter egg for the Model S and Model X on Thursday.
After proclaiming his love for "Monty Python" on Twitter, Musk revealed that US drivers can ask their Teslas to play any skit from the comedy. Owners can simply tap the voice button on the steering wheel and say "play 'Monty Python'" to activate the feature.

Love Monty Python so much
But that's not the only surprising feature in Teslas. Scroll down for our list of Tesla Easter eggs and fun facts:
The Tesla CEO also turned his love of James Bond films into an Easter egg. Model S owners can hold down the "T" button to bring up the technician log-in screen, and typing in "007" will transform the car shown on the infotainment center into the submersible Lotus Esprit S1 car.

Musk also created an Easter egg to pay homage to his SpaceX ambitions. Just like the James Bond Easter egg, holding down the "T" button will prompt a request for an access code. Enter "Mars," and your infotainment screen will turn into the red planet.

As part of that Easter egg, the rendering of your car will turn into SpaceX's Interplanetary Transport System.
Another Tesla Easter egg lets you "drive" down Rainbow Road — just like in Mario Kart!
Clicking Autopilot four times in rapid succession will turn the road shown on Tesla's infotainment console into a rainbow. Musk referred to it as a "psychedelic cowbell road."
