Tesla's megaphone update lets drivers shout whatever they want at passersby

It's up to the company to turn a mandated safety feature into a prank.

The holiday update has a feature that turns some cars into megaphones. Anything drivers say will be emitted through external speakers. The external speakers were originally meant to be used as a warning system for pedestrians.

In a demonstration shared to Twitter, a driver yelled "excuse me, you dropped something" at a person dressed as Santa after a gift fell from their arms.

We can imagine how troll-y the drivers will get. Remember when the "boombox" feature allowed owners to make their cars sound like they were playing music? The megaphone builds off the pre-programmed sounds.

Ryan Shaw, creator of the video sharing website, noted in the video that the megaphone lowers his voice as it broadcasts.
