Outside speaker.

According to this thread, Tesla will install the speaker if you want, for a fee ($200 is mentioned). My summer 2020 MY doesn’t have the speaker either but I believe all Y’s are wired for it, so it should be a simple retrofit.

I have a June 2020. If I add the speaker, must the car play a sound at slow speeds? I love the silence at low speeds more than I would enjoy playing with an exterior speaker.
I disabled the speaker. Good choice. Silent just like an EV should be.
I have an early 2020 MY LR. It did not come with an external speaker. I bought a used one on eBay and installed it. It then works sometimes. It's supposed to work whenever you are in reverse to make a sound for pedestrians. It also worked for boom box and light show. But, after a week or two it stops working completely. If you reboot the screen/system, it usually returns, but then shuts itself off again? Anyone know what needs to be done to turn it on so it stays??
This is kind of the issue with several features that have been removed or retrofitted - they don't consistently work. In some cases, people have retrofitted (for example) the passenger's side lumbar support, which was removed some time early last year, I think. It may or may not work, as their car's VIN doesn't support that feature. In your case, it's similar - your VIN doesn't support the external speaker. I'm surprised it works at all. In some cases, retrofitted items may work until the next SW update. It's just a function of a SW-run vehicle, I'm afraid....
