I have no sound. So I am hoping we can get a speaker for free.

My Model Y has a pedestrian speaker installed
- Thread starter BLKMDL3
- Start date
They aren't required until September 2020 so they won't be providing one for free. You could probably order one from the Model 3 parts catalog and see if it would work on the Model Y. It's possible a firmware update will be required before it would work.

If some of the early Model Y's came with the speaker, would it not be enabled for each vehicle going forward?

There is a warning, look closely at the top left of the screen when your car starts up (put it in D for first time since unlocking) and you should see a small white icon - speaker with an X over it. They know.

May/June 2020 build MYP - and I do not have any pedestrian warning system that I’m aware of.
I have not looked for a speaker, as I don’t hear any noises ever and I don’t want one... yet - unless they are customizable w coconut or jaws or similar sounds - the stock PWS noises are terrible.

All 2020 Model Y have the wiring but they didn't start installing the speaker until September 2020. You can buy one and install it yourself if you want your car to start making more noise. We did to confirm it worked and then disconnected it.
The noise when moving forward is more like white noise or static. If you roll down the window and drive slowly you could probably hear it

I would not count 100% on that, a Tesla service advisor called me and said that it is possible that the wiring is not installed. That was after I raised a service call to retrofit the speaker.
For the part number: Model Y - Pedestrian Warning System
We bought part #1299965-00-A for the Model 3 and it worked on the Model Y. Currently there's no ability to modify the sound but Elon said that functionality would come eventually.

While I am thankful not to have that noise, I completely understand why they are needed.
As with most of my other vehicles - I enjoy the mod and customization process. If I had the speaker and that noise, I would purchase the delete kit/plug.
AND the minute we can customize the noise to coconuts, I’d install the speaker & I’m all in!
Is there a code or law that states how the noise must sound? Thinking of other hybrid and EV noises - would/could using a coconut sound be illegal?

Are you aware of any detailed instructions or videos on how to install (permanent) in the location where the grill is on the underside?
