I'd argue that the Tesla stuff here isn't really Easter eggs as traditionally understood; which are stuff put in by devs having fun; and then it's either not spotted or ignored by management. Easter eggs are usually somewhat hidden, and require some degree of intelligence to appreciate. The Tesla stuff is lame "fart apps" that were clearly put there under instructions by some PR guys or Musk himself. No developers were kept happy in this process.

The apps are part of a marketing plan, and I personally doubt that devs didn’t have fun building them. My kids gleefully get to “drive” my Tesla using the steering wheel to play Pole Position. They snicker when we goof around with the whoopie cushion. It’s hard not to be positively influenced by something that gives your children joy. I appreciate that there are these bits in the software which are whimsical that my family can play with.
