This morning I removed the iPhone and reinstalled it. Once it was working I tried saying different ways to get exactly what person I wanted. It didn't matter. Every time it gave me different records to choose from. Some of the records were a very poor match and just added clutter to the selection process.

I tried creating a Group within the phone database that eliminated all but the most used records but it wouldn't download the records. The iPhone would only download all records not a selected group.

Anyway I'm back to using the phone to select a record until I figure out how to best use the native Model Y system.

I have been having the same issue for several weeks now.

I ask my Tesla to “Call Home”.... and instead it navigates me to my home.

This was not a problem when I first got the car, several months ago. It only started acting up this past month. And it’s happening for other contacts as well. I asked Tesla to call my mother, and it gives me two options that do not include my mother. I asked it to call my sister, and instead it gives me other options. It’s not as though I have contacts with similar names as my mother and my sister.

Been having this same issue for a good month now. Brought it in to the service centre for other reasons and mentioned this. Was told they had several with the same issue and there was no fix. Tried it just for the heck of it yesterday and it now works fine. Odd to say the least as no update was done to correct the issue.

I've had the call change to a navigate too. Thought it was me. I'll have to try it again and see if mine is fixed. I think it happened a couple times. I'm sure it also happened to me on a 'call home'

I have a British accent and I have a terrible time with the voice commands, it doesn't get anywhere close to what I am saying, so gave up using it... No poking fun now! :)
Is there an option to set the language in the car to British English like there is on Siri? That might help.

Otherwise just be glad your not Scottish.....
