You get a giant Pokémon Go car that looks awesome and will help you catch them all.Pokémon Go TeslaA guy named Jeff, an editor for Pink Java Media enjoys playing Pokémon Go so much that he threw a little caution to the wind and poked around with his Tesla until he got it to install the popular game, making the most creative use I’ve seen out of the Tesla’s 14 inch display with GPS and a camera built in. “It’s not perfect,” Jeff said. “The Tesla’s display cuts off some of the game; I haven’t been able to fix that.”  Probably more challenging is that the built-in camera the Tesla provides is a back-up camera, intended for assisting with, well, backing up.  This, of course, means that Jeff must put the car in reverse in order to catch Pokémon.How Did He Do It?According to Pink Java, Jeff completed this feat with “a little bit of luck, some old-fashioned ingenuity, and an ethernet cable”, but that’s all the detail provided.  I guess we’ll have to wait for him to document the process and just catch Pokémon with our phones like regular folk.What is Pokémon Go?Pink Java does a great job of summarising the game in their own article about Jeff’s adventure:Pokemon GO is a smartphone game in which players chase and capture virtual creatures using geolocation. The phone’s camera makes it seem like these fanciful beasts are right there with the player in the real world, with different creatures appearing in different places.When asked what Jeff had in mind next for his Tesla, he responded, “Tinder,” he said with a smile. “Going to see if I can swipe right with my turn signal.”  I’d like to see how that works out.
