Imagine stepping out of your Tesla, hearing the iconic Mario Coin sound as you lock it, or being greeted by Bluey and Bingo's laughter when you return. Sounds like a dream? Thanks to Tesla's 2023 holiday update, it's now a reality! If your Tesla is equipped with a Pedestrian Warning System (PWS), you can ditch the standard lock chime and replace it with a custom sound of your choice. But here's where it gets even more exciting: Tesla doesn't just offer a limited selection—you can upload any sound file, opening up a world of possibilities. From nostalgic retro video game sound bites to unforgettable movie clips, the customization is endless.
And this is the part most people miss: Setting it up is surprisingly simple. Just download your favorite sound file, rename it to LockChime.wav, and save it to the root folder of a USB drive. Plug it into your Tesla, head to the Toybox menu, select Boombox, and choose USB under Lock Sound. Voilà! Your Tesla now has a personality all its own.
We’ve curated a list of some of the most iconic sounds to inspire you. Whether you’re a fan of Scooby-Doo, Star Wars, or Super Mario, there’s something here to make your Tesla stand out. Click the blue button to preview each sound—though your browser might not support it, you can still download them hassle-free.
Controversial opinion alert: While Tesla’s default sounds are functional, using a custom lock chime can be a fun way to express your personality. But is it too much?
