Whats wrong with Boombox, you ask?
Ill allow this tweet to explain:
Change your horn sound to ?, ?
or holiday jingles with latest Tesla software update!
Especially if your vehicle can sound like a goat, a lion, or a FART.
Or, indeed, any other throw in of audio youd like.
According to the NHTSAs filing, the Boombox function may obscure the Pedestrian Warning System (PWS) sounds.
And, potentially, distract pedestrians as well.
Lets be honest: a goat bleat would definitely muddle an EVs warning noise.
Now Ill never know the joy of walking down a street filled with Teslas making farmyard sounds.
Yes, my life is a bit safer, but at what cost?
