V10 and Voice Commands?
- Thread starter Big Toys
- Start date
This was also extensively discussed in another longer thread (V10 and Voice Commands?). The issue is that V10 adds Spotify to your car and now the voice (and search bar) look for music on Spotify , NOT Slacker. The Slacker implementation would play music on a voice search. The Spotify implementation (which our European friends have had all along) never has. So you gained Spotify at the cost of having to click on an item on the screen after a voice request. Pretty good trade I'd say...
Same problem on my model X after the upgrade. I have tried all forms of the reboot, power on, etc steps. I also think it weaves in the lane on auto pilot a lot more than the last version. It almost makes me seasick some times. I have MCU2.

This is a terrible trade off. Slacker was free and voice command worked flawlessly on it. Now Spotify premium cost $10 a month and offers no voice activation. WE should have the option of whether we want Slacker of Spotify providing voice requests. That would solve the problem.

okay, but if someone didn’t get Spotify one can still use voice search with slacker, that hasn’t changed with v10 correct? I didn’t try that before I got Spotify so now I can’t confirm.
No, whether you have activated Spotify or not, the voice search does not work on Slacker any longer.

It still finds the song for you, but instead of playing automatically you have to touch the screen for it to start playing.
It’s definitely a down grade for a voice command to no longer DO the thing I want. Pulling up a search window that I then have to take my eyes off the road for and then hand off the wheel for is ridiculous. Huge step back in safety and functionality.
I am reverting to pulling up Amazon music up on my phone prior to driving and using Alexa voice commands from there to play music.

What’s not true? If it can figure out what song I’m asking for, and has it available, it posts it on the upper left of the media window, and then I have to touch where I circled in red, to get it to play.

I wanted to reply that a Tesla ranger came out to me office to look at my car for several small items and my lack of voice commands period.
In all off the updates “Display-energy saving” tab got turned on in my car. The ranger turned it off, and now everything works fine in my car.
Voice command, slow boot up of the computer. Maps everything is now working better in the car. I don’t know if this is a work around a software bug or what but it worked for me big time. Now why after three trips to Tesla why couldn’t they find it or at least tell me to check that setting.
He did not do a “factory reset” of the car.

Well that was short lived. the voice commands worked great for the evening. Give it a night to rest and its already out of service again.
Everything else is working great again. I would still double check this setting in your car and see if it works for you.

What/where is the display-energy tab? My assumption is you are talking about the energy vs miles toggle for the battery, but wanted to make sure.Well that was short lived. the voice commands worked great for the evening. Give it a night to rest and its already out of service again.

Go to Display on your screen and it is Energy Savings tab set it to Off. Having it on shuts down everything making the car take to long to power up. see the little icon top right.
I haven't had time to call Tesla back and ask what he did to make the car great for the day. I have even reset without any luck.

One more update, it's working again. Went out for a bit and everything is working again. The sun must have to be out for it to work?

ah this must be an S/X only feature as my 3 is missing a setting for energy saving
I noticed now asking to play a song will actually play it, and no longer simply display the search result window.
This is a new behavior in non-US markets and one that was lost by US market with v10.
