Using Voice Commands - Tesla MODEL 3 2020 Owner's Manual

Voice commands are designed to understand
natural requests. You can use voice
commands to:
• Call a contact.
• Navigate to a location.
• Listen to Internet music.
• Control various aspects of Model 3.
To initiate a voice
command, tap the
microphone button on the
touchscreen. When you
hear the tone, speak your
command. As you speak,
the touchscreen displays
an interpretation of your
command. It also displays
tips to remind you of the
type of commands you
can speak. When you
finish speaking the
command, tap the voice
button again or simply
wait.
NOTE: Voice commands may be spoken in
English, French, German, Italian, Dutch,
Spanish, Norwegian, Danish, or Swedish.
NOTE: You can also initiate a voice command
by pressing the right scroll button.
• To call a contact on your Bluetooth-
connected phone, say "Call" or "Dial",
followed by the contact's first and/or last
name(s). For example, "Call Joe" or "Call
Joe Smith".
• To search for, or navigate to, a location,
say "Where is", "Drive to", or "Navigate to",
followed by an address, business name,
business category, or landmark. For
example, "Where is Stanford University?",
"Drive to Tesla in Palo Alto", or "Navigate to
Starbucks on Homestead in Cupertino". If
you have defined a navigation address for
your home or work locations, you can use a
voice command to navigate there by saying
"Navigate home" or "Navigate to work".
• To listen to an Internet music service, say
"Listen to" or "Play", followed by the name
of the song, album, artist, or combination.
To improve voice recognition accuracy,
provide multiple cues in your command,

such as artist plus song (for example,
"Listen to Yellow Brick Road" or "Play
Yellow Brick Road by Elton John").
• Control various aspects of Model 3 by
speaking statements or commands. For
example, "Speed up the wipers", "The
screen is too bright", "Turn on the driver's
seat heater", "I'm cold".
NOTE: Tesla is continuously improving the
ability of Model 3 to recognize voice
commands. To support these ongoing quality
improvements, Tesla captures short voice
recordings anonymously. To protect your
privacy, these short recordings are not
associated with your personal information or
with your vehicle's identification number.
Tesla assures that it is not possible to search
any system for a recording associated with a
specific customer or vehicle.
