The regulations regarding PWS had an effective date and a quantity threshold that had to be exceeded before PWS was required on the MY. Maybe someone will post the applicable language.

Weird, with all the similarities between the 3 and Y you’d think that would have been an easy carryover considering they were on the 3 from Sept 2019.

My understanding is it was supposed to be required by law by X date so it was included way back. (end of 2019/beginning of 2020). The date was extended so they stopped installing the feature. Now is is law and all units coming out from manufacturers need to have a noise making device. Prior units are grandfathered in so no need to install. Removing this feature on a car built when it was required could possibly get you in a load of crap if the accident was caused due to no noise being emitted.

My 2012 Prius was in an accident and I had to pay $139 to replace the PWS. I didn’t even know it had a PWS — I figured the hum I heard at low speeds was from the inverters or something. Nope — PWS.
And no, I am not interested in paying for the privilege of my Tesla making noise.
I wouldn't mind if I can turn it on and off as required. Lots of small children and old people where I live. The PWS is not for me, I like my M3 quiet

the problem is, children will not pay attention because of play and faces buried in cell phones, and old people, well, they just won't hear it.I wouldn't mind if I can turn it on and off as required. Lots of small children and old people where I live. The PWS is not for me, I like my M3 quiet
Mine has already been useful a few times on my 2021. That’s why I’m getting it installed on the 2020.

If anyone is paying $200 they ar getting ripped off, had it installed back on May 10th and I was charged $95.01
Refer to Tesla SI-21-90-001 -- price is $200
Allows for Boombox functionality
Service center or Ranger for installation..

Different labour rates in different locations?
You’d think the job would have a set number of billable hours, but who knows.
$35 labour sounds incredibly cheap, to be honest. It doesn’t sound like it’s even 30 minutes which surely is the smallest block they can book?

Mine was installed today, very happy. since you can turn items on/off. Feel better pulling in/out of parking lots that have a ton of people at don't pay attention at least there is a small noise now.
