Tesla’s 2021 ‘Santa Mode’ has gained an upgrade, as part of the company’s latest holiday software update that debuted version 11.0.
According to developer @greentheonly on Thursday evening, “looks like Santa sleigh got an upgrade, now it will match your car instead of a generic model3-looking sleigh.”

In our image above, you can see Santa’s sleigh within Tesla’s ‘Santa Mode’ (you can enable the feature by using the car’s voice command, and saying “ho ho ho”) showing the old version with the generic Model 3 style sleigh.
But the new 2021 ‘Santa Mode’, according to @greentheonly will now match your Tesla.
Also new is an “elf model when elves are detected around the car,” that comes static or animated.
Normally, within ‘Santa Mode’, other vehicles show up as reindeer, but now it appears pedestrians will show up as (creepy looking) elves as well. Happy holidays, everyone?
Tesla started publicly releasing its 2021 holiday software update on Thursday evening, which includes some exclusive features for the new Model S refresh.
Update: Here are the new visuals for Santa’s sleigh, shared with Tesla North by @greentheonly. Check them out below:
