The latest feature comes after Tesla installed a speaker beneath the front bumper of the Model 3 electric sedan.
In addition to playing pre-recorded clips to passers-by, the speakers will allow drivers to talk to pedestrians without opening a window.
Speakers on electric cars became necessary after electric carmakers were forced to installed it to comply with U.S and EU safety regulations.
The regulations require the near-silent electric cars to produce artificial noise to prevent pedestrian accidents — especially to the blind and visually impaired people.
Last year, Tesla added a Smart Summon feature that allows drivers to use smartphone to summon their car within 200 feet.
