Known working voice commands?

I am assuming that the computer cannot control the windows or there would be an app for that, so no voice command for "Lower rear windows 3%"

Some recent versions of firmware definitely have had issues. I was on 2018.14.2 for a long time, and it would NEVER recognize the voice command the first time, and there were times it didn't work at all.
Speaking loudly and clearly, and directing your voice toward the microphone in the rearview mirror helps, but sometimes it just seems deaf. All seems better on 2018.21.9.

I have only seen this happen when the command I am speaking is not a recognized command. Try "Navigate Home", I was doing "Directions to Home" and it failed to recognize the command and said "try again"

Just curious, but are there any safeguards preventing the use of (loud) voice commands from outside the vehicle? "Unlock", for example? Who needs a crowbar if a thief can simply command the car from without. Or is all voice input disabled if the car is locked, regardless if the butt-in-seat switch knows the car is occupied?
Thinking both safety and security here...

Not right now, as unlocking the doors isn't currently possible with a voice command.

I've only used voice to play music - but I've to say I'm pleasantly surprised at how well it can recognize my voice/accent and translate to text. I'm talking about fairly difficult to pronounce south Asian names. Amazon Alexa, Google, Siri, Microsoft all struggle with these names.
Interesting since they use the Google service for the voice recognition..
If you were the one in the driver's seat, in fear for your life, I doubt you would have the presence of mind to try to yell at the car to lock them again. And it would probably be too late, as the car would already be unlocked and the attacker in.
This is not an issue right now (per MP3Mike), but I dearly hope Tesla thinks this voice command thing through before flying headlong into the future with it. Corner case, yes. But I wouldn't want my daughter to end up on evening news because of it. IMHO Tesla already messed up with the lack of a per-instance door unlock (all doors vs just the driver's), giving an opportunity for someone crouching low on the passenger side to get in when the doors are unlocked. This is serious stuff. We're not in a video game or sitcom.

Sorry, not serious at all. It’s not even a corner case.
It relies on a hostile assailant screaming commands loud enough to be heard inside the car, at the right time after you press the voice button. Then they have to yell the none existent command louder than the person in the car.
If the fictional hostile assailant is able to add the extra command, yell it loud enough etc they would still find it much easier to just break the glass and grab you.
Of course you could also just drive away.
