Boombox in the toy store sounds interesting, requires external speaker. Can't find any further info yet.

I guess we'll soon find out how many of us have a speaker fitted for PWS.

It seems only cars built after September 2019 have the external speaker

I'm prepared to sell Ice Cream from my Tesla to get the boombox feature, seems to be the only option

Not in the UK, no Model 3s have the speaker fitted, all have the required wiring loom.

Out of the loop here, why do the American cars have a different looking user interface?

Yours will be like this after the update...

I checked my Feb 2020 SR+ for the external speaker but the space is empty in front of the offside front wheel. Cables are there and I asked Tesla if I can have the speaker. I was fobbed off.

Discussion on Teslascope indicates 2020.48.26 is still v10.2 but that v11 (and hopefully some more substantial updates) should be here in a couple of weeks:

It's going to be a legal requirement for newly registered EVs from July 2021, so they may offer a retrofit after that I guess.

Seems a bit odd not to just fit it right now, but I haven't looked in my refresh M3, so maybe I'm in for a surprise when the update drops.

I'll stick on standard update

There’s no chance I’ll be getting a PWS fitted, even if it’s free. Plenty of ICE cars are as loud (which is to say practically inaudible) at low speeds. I don’t need my EV to sound louder than theirs do.

Why spend the money. That will be the reason

I wouldn't be sure, there are discussions going on about making it a legal requirement for all EVs eventually, not just new ones. If that happens it'll be an MOT failure at the very least.

I expect there will be exemptions for vehicles where it's not practical or possible due to their age (same as seatbelts), but I doubt that will apply to the M3 of any age.
