I have June 2020 MY -got the last Holiday OTA updates: video games, solitaire etc but not the Boombox-anybody knows why?
I am a T$LA stock/share holder-not just a M3 & MY owner.you should have waited buying till September and not listen Tesla stockholders.

Agree...no boombox with the artificial sounds for me. My wife's ES 300h makes an awful noise when backing up or slow forward and no ICE running.Then You can afford the service visit. I’ve read it’s about $55 for the speaker. The Model Ys are presumably prewired, so you can schedule a service visit and have it installed. Likely $100-$150 total cost, labor and parts.
Note that Tesla accessory vendors already sell kits to remove the speaker and cap the wires. So a quiet Tesla is sometimes preferred.
It will be interesting as to which setup becomes the popular resale version. I’m staying with the no-speaker setup....
NHTSA required all electric vehicles built after September 2019 to be equipped with a noisemaker. If this is required by law Tesla should install it.

Model 3 after 9/2019. That date doesn't apply to Model Y since regulation requires full compliance in September 2020, but 50% of "quiet" vehicles must have the warning sounds by September 2019.NHTSA required all electric vehicles built after September 2019 to be equipped with a noisemaker.

The United States government has finally set its "quiet cars" mandate in stone, Reuters reports. Automakers will have until September 2020 to ensure that their electric vehicles make noise at speeds below 30 kilometers per hour (18.6 mph), and they must be 50 percent compliant one year earlier than that.
Congress first demanded action on this back in 2010, but the final date mentioned above is only one year behind the schedule put in place under President Obama's administration?
EVs must get a little noisier by 2020
September 1, 2020
Automakers will get at least six more months to meet new federal requirements for noise-making devices on electric cars and hybrids, Reuters reported Friday. The extension is being granted due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
The so-called "quiet car" rule requires electrified vehicles to emit noises at speeds up to 18.6 mph as a warning to pedestrians and cyclists. Lack of exhaust noise makes cars harder to hear at these speeds, but tire noise, wind buffeting, and other sounds pick up at higher speeds, regulators have said.
In April, an automaker lobbying group asked the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to extend the September 1 deadline by one year. So far, the agency has only extended the deadline by six months, but it's seeking public comment on automakers' request for a one-year extension, according to Reuters.
