The Benny Hill theme tune was a pretty unfortunate choice of background music, not sure if that's the impression they wanted to make (maybe it was, not sure).

- kowdermeister 10y agoGeez, indeed poor choice. I muted it first and kept listening to my deephouse podcast :)
- XJOKOLAT 10y agoWhat? Come on. The TV show was ridiculous but the theme still brings a smile to my face. Appropriate in bringing light heartedness to a typically sped up video. Can everyone chill the fox out about a theme tune?
- JimDabell 10y agoWhen the last video came out, there were quite a few people saying "wait, that video's sped up, right? It doesn't seem to be taking turns at a safe speed." I expect Tesla got feedback indicating that some people didn't notice that the last video was sped up, so they decided to make this video a lot more obvious by speeding it up even more and adding the music. I agree, it's not really a good choice, but I can see how they might have come to that decision.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoIndeed; for me this music has two primary connotations - "funny" and "sped up".
- jdietrich 10y agoI like it. The tech community tends to be a bit dour and pompous. We tend to overblow every tiny announcement into some world-changing event. Look at Apple's recent announcement video for their $300 book for a particularly gratuitous example. It's healthy for Tesla to retain a sense of self-deprecating humour. Self-driving cars are massively important, but they're also a bit silly and strange. There's no harm in acknowledging the absurdity of a car that drives itself. There's no harm in bursting your own bubble.
