I know, the noise is annoying! I like having it around my area bc kids are running out of nowhere constantly. I don't think my Model Y makes one going forward though, just reverse. I actually had to pay for the retrofitting bc my 2020 didn't come with the speaker, just the speaker holes in the panel.
who made you pay to install it ?
I was unaware it didn't have it, and I was really excited about using boombox when we had remote test sites (which worked well), but- it was also helpful with those aforementioned children.
That is my experience as well. I think I'm just going to send something out to service to get an answer. i have a feeling its a software issue that they will fix at some point via update.
Came here looking for an answer to this. Our Model 3 is plenty loud on megaphone, etc. can barely hear it on the truck. Any updates from service? I was thinking it may be software related as well, and have received a few updates so far and no change in volume.
Yeah I get paranoid now when my son rides his bike in our subdivision because once upon a time you could hear a car idling before it backed out of the driveway, but with EV's not necessarily. I have tried to teach him to look for lit up brake lights instead but five year olds are only so aware of their surroundings. Having the reverse sound at least helps him know when a car is backing up so that he can stop his bike before reaching the driveway. Some folks just don't even look before they back up
I asked the service guy when I took my truck in last month for a few cosmetic issues to fix. No change when I got it back and no mention in any of the documentation.
While cleaning fingerprints off the exterior, I've used the apple play to play thru the boombox. not the best sound, and I had to leave a door partially open, then you can crank up the sound pretty loud. My normal walk away lock sound is the jail door closing it is loud enough to hear 30 feet away.
I also do not hear any lock sound.
I believe that I just saw it coming in the next release.
yeah it's in the manual but not actually on the screen. looks like they are adding it.
I cannot wait to have the truck fart at brodozers. It'll be the highlight of my day!
I'd hate to be on the other end of a lawsuit after removing the mandatory government warning sound speaker. All it takes is one person looking down on their phone while walking in front of an illegally silent EV. The person that hits them to likely be in prison a very long time.
