Regardless of your opinion on Tesla or its eccentric founder Elon Musk, there’s no denying that the Roadster’s recent reveal was absolutely wild.

And if there’s one thing Musk is more proficient at than anyone else, that would be his unmatched ability to get people talking even if it comes at the expense of overly ambitious or downright preposterous claims.

With Halloween just around the corner, it's nice to see automakers embracing the holiday spirit without taking themselves too seriously. Just last week, Tesla began rolling out a Halloween-themed software update that, as the automaker put it on X, "turns your Tesla into a haunted house on wheels. " Days later, Rivian brought Ghostbusters to its entire lineup as part of its own Halloween surprise. Tesla's Halloween Mode comes as part of update 2026.38.3 and brings along a host of goofy ghost-themed add-ons.
