PWS Sept builds

[bisoned]

Anybody know if there will be the Pedestrian Warning System on the September builds? From what I've read this is a requirement as of Sept 2020.

Actually just got my answer, rollout has been delayed 6 months until March 2021 now

I was able to witness a red Model Y yesterday that had the PWS. It made the weird "spaceship" noise when reversing. I didn't get the VIN, but I believe it was a new build. It had just gotten its temp tags (colorado) which were set to expire on Nov 8th. (they are good for 60 days)

Took US delivery of MY P three days ago and it has PWS active.

My Y (built on Sep 10) has the PWS active.

8/8 order Y delivered 9/25 has active PWS

My 9/19 build has the PWS.

glad I do not have the goofy sounds -- won't be happy when I can't play snake Jazz

My MY LR was built in September and has PWS.

My Y (built on Sep 10) has the PWS active.

I just took delivery of MY built on 9/12. How do I verify if I have it?

Put the car in reverse, roll down the window, allow the vehicle to move backward and listen for the PWS audible tone. You'll know it when you hear it. If you're still unsure, check on YouTube as I'm sure someone has recorded it.

From a user on another thread..... It's pretty obvious!

Model Y (VIN: 52xxx) pedestrian warning sound : TeslaModelY

I may be in the minority but I like the sound of the reverse PWS. My Sept build has it but either I cannot hear the forward PWS or it is not active.

Someone said that a pedestrian needs to be detected by the car before the forward sound starrs. It was also said that after passing the pedestrian, the sound stops. If that's true, then I'm cool with it.

This is a good one (with a M3). Demonstrates outside-of-car sounds at varying speeds.
