There are numerous little-known Tesla features every owner should use, from the built-in dashcam to the boombox mode. One of the most essential is the Pedestrian Warning System, which is when the vehicle emits a sound so that blind individuals will know when a Tesla approaches since electric cars are naturally so quiet. This can be especially burdensome in parking lots when someone may need to cross a section to get to their car and not realize a Tesla is coming. Naturally, the PWS can consist of simple engine noises, but YouTuber Fawcette showed how the sound can be something far funnier (if not a tad rude).
Fawcette provides a rundown of all the various noises someone can customize in their Tesla, including a horn that references old memes. He also changes the sound that comes from the PWS to say “Bruh” that anyone on the outside can hear. He demonstrates this by driving slowly around a parking lot, and sure enough, the Tesla repeatedly says, “Bruh.” It’s a fun, cheeky addition that’s probably even more hilarious if it makes that sound right after someone cuts him off in traffic.
Granted, while the law simply states how the car has to make some kind of noise, having it say “Bruh” seems counterintuitive when actually trying to assist blind people. @zquklikesbread jokingly points out this flaw in the comments: “Ah yes a blind person would hear the bruh and go like: This is a car.” Whether the sound effect gets a ton of use or not, it makes for a humorous YouTube video.
