How is that done. I don't see it in this crowdsourced G-doc list: (link) V10.2 Tesla Voice Commands

I've only noticed that my camera is very glitchy and delayed now. The image sometimes freezes for several seconds while backing up which is.... undesirable.
I have a couple of questions for anyone who is lucky enough to have the needed hardware and this update.
1. People seem to be assuming that voice commands are handled by a Tesla server. Can someone who has working voice recognition test this by going to a location with no cell or Wi-Fi reception and issuing a voice command like turn on heater?
2. Can someone confirm that stop sign and speed limit sign recognition are using the camera (as opposed to a detailed map) by testing on a non busy street and having an assistant cover a sign that the car normally recognizes and displays and see if it no longer displays it. Extra credit for printing a speed limit sign and having your assistant hold it up somewhere where no actual speed limit sign exists.
thanks

@MorrisonHiker held up a portable stop sign paddle up in his driveway for @DÆrik to make a video and it detected it:
(At about 6:10 in the video.)
So at least for stop signs they don't have to be mapped and the camera is enough.
Agreed. However, I still want to experiment with the Dashcam when I find a quiet intersection (so I can stop at measured distances and see how the car sees things vs dashcam). I'll post result here if they shed light on things a bit.
Speed limit are NOT read atm .. they come from map data. Apparently there is a patent issue blocking this (one of those meaningless "we did it with a computer" patents that has yet to be (rightly) thrown out by a court).
My iPhone 6 does not allow me to respond to texts with voice commands. My son’s iPhone X works perfectly. Been looking for a reason to finally upgrade.

My observation as well.
That doesn’t gibe with the “it’s server side and servers are overloaded” explanation going around.

unless the rear seat eat heaters come on
wouldn't that be nice. I checked and no they did not go on.
That is interesting but is that explained in the manual somewhere? Could be confusing to those that do not understand that.

Indeed they are.
What as shame.
I wish EAP'ers could get it.
Kinda makes me wish I hadn't … oh well....nevermind.
Based on what I am seeing in TeslaFi software tracker, I think the roll out has substantially stalled. Just trickling now (maybe folks on holiday coming back to allow the update to load), but it doesn't seem to be rolling out at anything close to the rate we initially saw on 12/24 (was several installs a minute now one install every several minutes). Maybe some issues? Guess I'm not so bummed that I'm stuck on 40.2.1.
The server load isn’t constant since not everyone would be trying voice commands at the exact same time. If it is indeed a server side issue then people would see laggy or no voice recognition at all during usage spikes. It’s likely just coincidence that you’ve had it work when first getting in your car and stopped working shortly after.
Some weird problems:
1. Car doesn't show "Favorites". Enabled on the phone, All checked on car bluetooth options. Have "Messages", Recent", "Contacts" and "Dialer". iPhone XR.
2. Doesn't send replies - ignores tap on screen and steering wheel right button (Message from voice recognized and shown on screen and "Tap to send" is on the screen).

Don't think server load is a problem. Tesla obviously uses some cloud service from Amazon, Azure or whatever, which can handle much heavier load... There are way more Alexa users than Tesla drivers.
1) And you are certain you have the favorites group set to sync? Go to Setting -> Bluetooth then select the i next to your Tesla and you should see the Bluetooth settings. Make sure favorites is selected:
2) We’re all experiencing issues with the voice recognition. The consensus is it’s a Tesla server side issue.
I'd say it's at least 99% accurate. I've only seen it miss one stoplight in a series.
In this scenario there were 4 individual lights going across. It displayed 3 of them.
But it seems to be very accurate. It's also very accurate at picking up road markings as well.
I don’t doubt they’re using some robust cloud service for their customer facing servers. Just because the service they are using is more than capable doesn’t mean there couldn’t be a bug with their server side software. Perhaps they underestimated the load and only have a quarter of the virtual machines actually needed running the voice recognition processing software. It may have been difficult for them to judge just how much the voice recognition usage would jump once they actually gave their customers a real reason to finally use it regularly.
