While no mention was made of his elves or workshop, Auto Trader writes: “Father Christmas has been spotted doing rounds in Oxford’s Redbridge Park and Ride.” However, instead of the classic sleigh, now the bearded Christmas icon was seen driving a Tesla Model 3, complete with a license plate with ‘S4nta’ on it.
According to Auto Trader, his Tesla also features a ‘Santa Mode’, “that ensures the magic of his previous sleigh is never lost. If you have a Tesla, you too can experience the Christmas magic of the Santa Mode. Use the voice command “ho ho ho” to turn your car into a sleigh and the pedestrians around you into elves, and enjoy the jingles.” While the pedestrians hopefully will retain their physical shape outside, the extra holiday cheer is sure to be a hit.
