Favourite/handy voice commands that work [in the UK]

[Mrklaw]

I was talking to someone with Alexa about this yesterday, they said the same thing - they have to ask for "BBC Sounds, radio 2" as apparently everything is now grouped under BBC Sounds, not radio. Might be worth trying

strange - ‘play radio 2’ works fine for me

"Recirculation" is a good one if I'm behind some stinking great polluter about to pull off at the lights.

Slow down windshield wipers

Speed up wipers

Turn off windshield wipers

Turn on windshield wipers

'wipers off' works when it recognises it.
Also 'wipers on'
'wipers to auto'

Never had to say 'windshield'..

As if there are other wipers in the car...

My favourite voice command is ‘open/ close butthole’ which opens the charge port.

My favourite is ‘Fold mirrors’ as I am often driving narrow country lanes but unfortunately for me it is a hit and miss. I get everything from hold mirrors to Melrose and some even stranger things. Some days it understands me correctly and other days - no chance. I had my son in the car today and I let him try after it came up with some wired suggestion for my command again. And it worked every time for him!

Unsurprising given the way the software is drip fed, released, then amended - Tesla programmers are probably teenage or younger

It varies with release, definitely. I've had it work first time on one release to being back to complete gibberish the next.

I find this infuriating. When I urgently need to fold the mirrors, it wants to play some random track, but if there Is no urgency, it works every time. The car can sense panic and just wants to annoy me.
