Tesla has begun offering a new horn upgrade for Cybertruck owners, adding a futuristic twist to the vehicle’s sound. The update was announced through a notification in the Tesla app, where owners can preview the new sound and choose to upgrade.
The message, shared by Cybertruck owner Chuck Cook, reads: “Change your Cybertruck Horn sound with a new exciting tone befitting to vehicle persona. The tone upgrade is free if you wish to move away from traditional style or envious of new Cybertruck owners. Upgrading is a permanent change, and downgrades will not be supported.” That’s right. once you upgrade, you won’t be able to go back.
Tesla allows owners to test the new sound within the app before committing to the change. The app includes two options: “Play” to hear the new sound and “Upgrade Now” to install it. Cook confirmed he didn’t need a software update for the feature to appear.
The traditional horn, as heard in this clip, is what you’d expect from most vehicles: Original Horn Sound. The new horn, however, brings a distinctly futuristic vibe: Upgraded Horn Sound. Back in April, Tesla also added a new horn and lock sounds for Cybertruck, as part of the company’s Spring software update.
Last week, Cybertruck Vehicle Program Manager Siddhant Awasthi teased the rollout on X, crediting Tesla’s “amazing firmware team” for the feature’s development.
This customizable horn adds another layer of personality to the Cybertruck, aligning with Tesla’s innovative approach to vehicle upgrades. It’s super cool that this upgrade can be enabled just by getting owners to agree to a prompt in the Tesla mobile app.
