Voice Commands

I'm afraid I've given up on Tesla's voice commands. Even basic commands to call or phone someone won't work. Asking it to navigate somewhere is pointless if not comical. Asking it to play music is atrocious.
I fitted a charging plate for my Samsung Note 9 and I just say 'ok google' and then the command and it all works using the phones voice recognition and let the phone select the music on 'Google music' or 'YouTube Music'. Google assistant on the phone has no trouble understanding me.
I haven't to be honest used used Tesla's voice commands to control the functions of the car such as open glove box.
I do think Tesla have to improve this area of the car.

Bit of an old chestnut this one…
I’m still struggling with changing DAB radio stations. It should be easy FFS.
All I want generally is to swap from BBC radio 2 to BBC radio 4 and back again.
I’ve tried “play radio 2” which works and jumps from radio 4 to radio 2. But “play radio 4” says it’s playing radio 4 and carries on playing radio 2 or pulls something off tunein.
previous cars had button or field 1, 2,3 and so on and each station was assigned a number. Is that the problem here? Have I set radio 2 to number 2? Is there even a number?
Anyone have the definitive answer.

The voice control works reasonably, better than the MBUX I had previously where it talked back.
I use it for calling people, raising and lowering the temperature, turning heated seats off.
I also like the read out and reply to SMS.
It would be nice to have a list of recognised word commands.

Crikey, you've already done better than me! I've never managed to change a radio station by voice. Last time I tried I couldn't even switch between sound sources.
I am of the view that voice recognition should be feasible to offer for all the basic car control functions without having to do the external computational thing. We all know that voice recognition in the full sense requires massive computation but fixed responses to easily anticipated commands should not be an issue. Back in the 1990s old Mac computers could reliably respond to voice commands for set functions years before full dictation was possible. These machines had the computational power of an abacus in comparison to what the Tesla has onboard.

I know this sounds ridiculous, but often if I can’t seem to get the car to understand me, I put on a fake American accent and it works.
Embarrassing, but effective.

Well. Made a tiny bit of headway.
the command show ’show media favourites’ does at least bring up the four radio stations that are set as my favourites.
that one less bit of faffing around!
media favourite one, two etc. does nothing useful

There's a list of commands in the manual. Whether they are RECOGNISED is s different thing all together. Mostly works, most of the time. YMMV. To turn up the heat say "my balls are cold" ;-)

I say “call Matt” and it starts to navigate somewhere. It’s really poor and in all the years it’s never gotten better.
If you say “caaaaaaaarl Matt” sometimes it works. I often forget to say “dial” or “phone”.
Voice control in the U.K. is absolutely dire.

Me: Turn on rear fog lights
Tesla: Turn on rear fog lights (perfectly understood)
Pause
Tesla: Command not yet available (why ever not???)
