Tesla CEO Elon Musk asks if Tesla owners would like to play The Witcher in their cars, prompting excited responses from fans. Tesla cars offer several video games for owners to play, including the incredibly difficult Cuphead, which was added to Teslas in September 2019.
On Twitter, Musk posted a tweet asking if Tesla owners "want to play The Witcher game on your Tesla," also reminding them that they can watch The Witcher TV show on Netflix using the Tesla Netflix theatre feature. There have been 601,105 votes on the poll, which offers the options of "no, I have the plague" and "yes [tosses coin]" which is a tip of the hat to the hugely popular "Toss A Coin to Your Witcher" song from the Netflix series. 85.4% of the votes say that they would like to play The Witcher in a Tesla compared to the 14.6% of votes that say they wouldn't like to play the game in their car.
Musk's tweet also has several positive responses from fans and The Witcher's official Twitter account. The official Twitter account for The Witcher tweeted a photo of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's horse Roach stuck on the roof, replaced with a Tesla. Gaming YouTuber Aypierre said that it would be "great" to play The Witcher in a Tesla but he would also like to play Minecraft in the car. One fan also asked Musk if he could make Fortnite playable in Tesla cars.
However, not everyone is a fan of the idea and some have suggested that putting games like The Witcher could be dangerous. The first two Witcher games take around 100 hours to complete and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt can take as long as 200 hours to complete. The concern from some gamers is that Tesla drivers will want to complete the games so much that they may take their eyes off of the road. Tesla does have a feature called auto-pilot, but the cars are not fully autonomous. This means that drivers cannot just play The Witcher and let the car drive for them. Some have said that the game could be good fun for passengers and not just the driver.
It's unclear whether Musk is talking to CD Projekt RED about putting any of The Witcher games in the Teslas, or if he wants to see the results of the poll first. Until then, Cyberpunk 2077 Cybertruck memes will be the closest thing that fans get to enjoying CD Projekt RED games and Tesla together.
