Is that the latest software ya running there Dilly?
Voice control was working fine before I updated to 2020.36.11
Just logs nothing I say then occasionally get Connection Error but the LTE signal etc states full bars
Yes it is. Under 36.11 I was getting the same as you with a good LTE signal.
I think it was pretty widespread.
Ah right, ya can’t force updates tho eh, certainly not our end? Maybe dealership can do it and sort it out?

Voice control seems to be very much server side and comms dependent so software version probably has little to do with functionality.
I have had exactly the same issue recently. Voice control was previously working really well for me but in last couple of weeks it has become very hit and miss, seemingly independent of strength of LTE signal. I think it started after installing 2020.36.11 but I can't be sure. I just installed 2020.40.3 and problem still there - press the button, speak and .... nothing happens. Looks like no voice was heard. Strangely enough, I find that if I cancel and then immediately try again, as often as not it works perfectly!? So hit and miss as I said, which is annoying that it has become less reliable. I assume it is an issue with the Tesla servers that provide this service rather than the recent updates but happy to be corrected on this if anyone knows better.
Latest software is 2020.40.4 which dropped on me last night. Haven’t been out in the car since but I think it’s just bug fixes to 40.3.

Min'es the same. Absolute garbage at the mo. Not impressed as the functionality really helps to not have to touch the screen to make a call, etc.

Pretty much been like that even since I got my car. Voice control is embarrassingly poor. To be honest I’ve totally given up on voice. For me it’s never faster or more convenient.
See my experience has been pretty decent, right up until updating to 36.11
Now it’s dreadful
I’m on 36.10 but tbh the voice problems go back much further than that.
Much of the time the car hears nothing. Tesla could learn a lot from Amazon on the voice control front.
Because it’s so hit and miss whether or not it works I stopped using it regularly a while ago. I just try it from time to time to see if they’ve improved it!

Personally I don’t think it’s anything to do with signal. I can sit in my garage on full high speed WiFi and it’s still terrible.
Like Roy I only use it to see if it’s gotten any better. For me, in 3 years it hasn’t.

Just thought I'd add this to the mix for 2020.36.11...
The Wipers issue is back too. I had an incident yesterday where I had to do an emergency brake to avoid cleaning up a cyclist (who decided to veer in to the path of the oncoming car travelling at 40ish towards him). I honked my horn (oooerr) at him whilst braking, and then the wipers went in to a frenzy. I tried switching the settings and used the screenwash but to no avail. The only way I got them to stop was by turning them completely off.
Tesla, please fix the bugs in this software update. Please.
