Sounds good leave it connected, most will. My schools are pull through so I never have reverse with kids around. I am paranoid about pedestrians, drive slowly, and use my eyes and all the cameras. I feel safe. If I am concerned I honk the horn. The reverse sound bothers me, pulling in to park at midnight it’s excessive. There should be a one time override, then I might leave it. Tesla made it very easy to disconnect...
The sound only comes on if you are below a certain speed. I want to say the sound on my sisters MY stopped at about 10 mph. It is annoying though
Only Model S and X built since September 2020 have the pedestrian warning system hardware.
That's not my experience, it's just much more obvious in reverse since it makes an unnatural sound. In forward they use similar (or even identical) sound as the electric motor that scales with speed. so you are not as aware, but it is there and loud. I know because I tested disconnecting it.
Agreed. Not just schools but pretty much any parking lot. In the past I’ve stalked oblivious pedestrians in Target or mall parking lots not wanting to startle them with a honk....at least now they turn around and move over. The requirement for the pedestrian warning system was put in for a reason (there are people hard of hearing out there) so disabling it on purpose just because you find it annoying is a bit irresponsible in my opinion. Personal convenience over public safety....where have we heard this before in 2020??
If you look back at earlier posts you can see it started in Aug 2020. Yours should have it, try backing up and listen for the spaceship sound.
Really I wasn't aware. I thought it was like the wild west with no rules. My point was no ability to turn it off. I didn't think it was that hard to follo.
