It's unclear as of yet whether the feature will come to fruition, and Tesla didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

For example, Musk at one point suggested that Tesla was working on a fart app, and the company actually went through with it.
Musk has expressed his appreciation for elevator music and "snake jazz" in recent tweets. The latter is a reference to an episode of the animated television show "Rick and Morty."
