Tips for Better Voice Command Results
Speak clearly and at a normal pace — you don't need to shout
Wait for the beep before speaking your command
You don't need to say “Hey Tesla” — just press the scroll wheel and speak
Tesla voice commands use natural language processing, so small variations in phrasing usually work
Some commands require Premium Connectivity (Weather, Grok AI)
Grok AI (2025.26+) understands conversational language for even more flexibility
This list is compiled from Tesla's official documentation, owner reports, and community verification. Commands may vary by software version, model, and region. We update this page regularly as new commands are discovered.
