Soon after, this marvel of technology was not only driving itself, it was driving millions of people to search “Tesla” on Pornhub.
On May 9th, Tesla CEO Elon musk responded by tweeting “Turns out there’s more ways to use Autopilot than we imagined”. “Shoulda seen it coming”. While Elon’s tweets usually just cause stock prices to fluctuate, he also managed to drive up searches on Pornhub.
Projecting results for May 10th (as of 3pm ET), our statisticians recorded over 3 million Tesla related searches since the video was first uploaded.
Every year on May the 4th (aka Star Wars Day) we see a big increase in Star Wars related searches on Pornhub so Mashable asked the Insights team to take a closer look.

Huffington Post asked Pornhub’s statisticians if the March 4th return of the BBC show Fleabag has any effect on Pornhub users. We found that immediately after the Season 2 premiere, searches for ‘religious’ increased by 162%, ‘nun’ by 145% and ‘priest’ by 103%.
Of the three terms, ‘nun’ is by far the most popular with more than half a million monthly searches, about four times that of ‘priest’.
