I was one of many complaining about the loss of voice command functionality after the recent slew of updates, including the most recent firmware on my car: 2020.4.1. Turns out I wasn't using the voice command button as Tesla now has it configured.
This works:
"press and release voice command button" --> "state voice command" --> "wait to see if car got it right (fingers crossed, it did)"
Give it a try.
I was at service center last Friday and was able to troubleshoot this issue with service adviser (btw, he didn't know how correctly perform voice commands properly either at first).
In earlier firmware versions, to use voice command, you had to press and hold the button while giving command, then release (this made the most sense to me). More recently, I think the method has been to press/release button, give command, then press/release button again.
This solution has been mentioned within several other posts, but I'm not sure the message has been widely received. Not sure if this is even in the firmware release notes.
