Model 3 tweeters

[TimboM3]

So, I recently bought a 2021 model 3 and I've just discovered that the little tweeter speakers on the top of the front doors are not working. After extensive Google searches about this, I tried some recommended fixes including a software reset using the two buttons on the steering wheel and checking for the latest software update and trying some things on the audio controls including turning off the immersive audio setting, but nothing is working, all the other speakers seem to be working ok. - has anyone else come across this issue and if so, have you found a fix for it?
Thanks.

Did you confirmed that the tweeter speaker exist behind the cover?

 

[TimboM3]

No, not yet, but the M3 should come with these by default should it not?

I think the tweeter only come with premium package

No, the M3 Standard RWD should have these door tweeters working by default according to Tesla.

My coworker had a 21 SRLFP and he said there was nothing behind the cover when he opened it.

It's hard to find any info about this, but it is looking like those speakers are only enabled on the premium audio setup on the LR unfortunately!

Most likely

The M3 RWD does not have the premium audio package. There no tweeters behind the covers

For SR+, even if you had the speakers physically, many are disabled. There are some companies that sell harnesses to reactivate them, assuming you have them and they are just software disabled. An example from a quick google.

The OP is talking about the SR+ given it's 2021 model year. The tweeters were still installed in the front for those years and prior. The rear shelf speakers are what is typically missing. According to the seller linked above, even the later RWD models with Ryzen still have the tweeters installed, supposedly.

This is confirmed by reddit posts:

Apparently it costs Tesla less money to just include them than to create a separate dash configuration and assembly variation without them.

Thanks for this, that does explain it, wish I'd gone for the LR now and got premium audio. I guess I could fit one of those third-party adaptors that will enable them, but I'm not confident about mucking about with wiring in my new car! I don't suppose you can pay someone to do these things can you?

Thanks. If I could pay someone to do it, I would definitely go for one of those harnesses to enable the tweeters, but it looks like they expect you to do it yourself, and I'm really not confident enough to take my M3 apart to do that at this stage!
