Speech Commands No Longer

[JayRM]

My 2018 Model S 100D no longer has speech commands as the message "Connection Error Try Again" comes up regardless of what I say into the computer. Has anyone had this issue, and if so, what did you do to resolve? Thank you.

Reboot the car (actually MCU)… hold both scroll wheels down

Connection Error comes up when your car does not have a cell signal and are not connected to WiFi. Check to see if you have a signal, and fix that.

Could this be a 3g related issue? Just guessing randomly.

Spoke too soon... it seems this might be a recent bug specific to the Model S:

Lost Voice Commands

Since my last over-the-air update, I have lost my ability to use voice commands. When I press the 'voice command' button on the yoke, I get a message that says "Connection Error: Try Again". Anyone else have this problem, or know of an easy fix? I hate to do a service call, as that means a...

It is not unusual for my car to not have a cell signal for up to 3 minutes after I start driving. In this time, I cannot voice a NAV destination, or execute any voice commands because of "Connection Error". I feel this is common.

Is that because of where you're at? Or because it seems to take 3 minutes before functioning?

My Model 3 sometimes doesn't connect when I first start driving, but it's more like 10 seconds.

Likely where my house is located. I get Verizon 5G, and the ATT signal is usually weaker, but it is taking miles sometimes to get the signal going in the car and can't just be my home location. Verizon rarely ever loses signal. AT&T is more frequently a poor signal, according to my car. This is another reason I am investigating saving the $10 a month Tesla fee and using a Verizon Hotspot on my phone for the car connection. However, I really don't like having to turn the Hotspot on every time I start to drive. Maybe I'll just be keeping the Tesla AT&T service for the fee as it is more convenient.

I unsubscribed. The only difference I really noticed was that I can no longer remotely access the sentry feed, but I only did that for giggles anyways.

The Sentry feed isn't available for my 2020 "legacy" Tesla anyway..
