USBTesla

A simple and quick way to create a wifi usb drive using a Raspberry Pi SBC to easily change your boombox and lockchime sounds over your home network via the browser.

A holiday update feature

Tesla recent holiday update allows you to change the sound your car makes when you lock it, this is called the Lock chime. In order to change the sound you need to plug in a USB Drive to your car and have a file called LockChime.wav on the root of your USB.

For vehicles equipmed with the Pedestrian Warning Sound Tesla allows you to change the sound of your Horn. This can be used to play any sound (to the outside) via the external loudspeaker.
