I Got A Text: Free Tesla Lock Sound Download

The novelty 'I got a text' jingle alert from early smartphone culture, a ringtone-era earworm from the flip-phone days of the mid-2000s

Movies sound · 1.62 seconds · WAV format · Free download

Custom lock sounds need the car’s external pedestrian-warning speaker (Model 3 built September 2019 or later, Model S and Model X from the 2021 refresh, every Model Y and Cybertruck) and software 2023.44 or later.

How to install: download the file (it is already named LockChime.wav), copy it to Boombox/LockChime.wav on a FAT32 or exFAT USB drive, plug it into a USB port that carries data (the glovebox port on newer cars; rear ports only charge), then open Toybox → Boombox → Lock Sound, then choose USB.
