Tesla Voice Commands
We list all the Tesla voice commands and have grouped them by category.
Before we list the commands, its worth noting that the Tesla voice command system can be extremely temperamental. Some users report it not understanding them at all, some think it only responds to an American accent, some seem to think it is just hit and miss whether it understand what yuou are saying.
To initiate a voice command on a Model S and Model X, simply tap the voice button on the upper right side of the steering wheel. For Model 3 owners, press the right scroll button on your steering wheel or access through the touch screen. One of the common mistakes is not waiting until you hear the tone before speaking your command.
While we have listed a lot of commands, there is a clear pattern with them and you just need to know the name Tesla want you to use for the object e.g. windscreen or windshield wipers. You are not going to remember all of the commands, but familiarising yourself with the style of command format will make things easier.
- Open or close and Show and Hide can be followed by applications names such as music or any menu item/li>
- Turn On and turn off can be followed by most switch names such as front defroster, windshield wipers etc to control them
- Increase, decrease, up and down can be used to control variable controls like heat seaters and volume
- Set x to y can be used with variable controls to set the value ie "set volume to 5" or "set temperature to 70"
- Natural language commands such as "I am cold" or "take me to McDonalds" also work
