For an older person like me, those are definitely very useful feature that makes lot easier and safer. One of my favourite feature is not to worry about the key anymore. When I am within its range, or walk away, it recognises and let me in or lock. That is cool.

I'm getting my first Tesla delivered in a week. I've watched like 200 different Tesla videos in the last couple weeks, and this was literally the best one of them all. I had no idea all this was possible, and have been stressing about having to interact with the screen for simple things like climate control and windshield wipers. LIKED AND SUBSCRIBED!! 🤩

Most welcome.

Make sure you PPF the rear doors. It’s super easy to do and cost about $30 on Amazon. I didn’t and in a week I got 3 rock chips! 😭

You are the only person I have found who gave this type of information…Thank you!

[@JustFrugalMe]

It’s my pleasure!

[@UndergroundNetwork]

The problem with "Turn on the dome lights" is that when you want them off, you don't say "Turn off the dome lights" because they will no longer turn on when you open the doors, you have to say "Dome lights on Auto" if you want them to turn off, but to still turn on when you open the doors. Kind of a bummer, but that's what you have to do.

[@jeffreylehman6206]

Great job; very helpful. Might you address voice commands that relate to the use of the radio ... and maybe even more about the Spotify and other entertainment options? Changing the options on those items are frequent wants during a drive, and yet one does not want to be distracted by accessing the screen to make the changes.

[@QuintanBrassfield]

I own Performance Models X and Y, and find myself frequently providing tours for the EV-curious and skeptics. I will refer to your video the next time someone tells me Teslas are too difficult to operate. Excellent video.

[@dusting81]

Awesome video, new tesla owner here. Just got a 22 X Plaid 5 days ago, what an amazing car I must say. I look forward to doing some voice commands tomorrow. Thank you sir.

[@saskiri]

You can do it much easier: I say "19", and the climate sets the temperature to 19 (I'm Norway btw). The car understands that I'm thinking of the temprature. Can also just say "wipers", and it turns on. Or just "glovebox", "frunk", "trunk" and so on. Your welcome 😊 One more thing, or two. You can just press left button on the handel to wipe, and the intervall comes up on screen. And you can set a shortcut to the wipers on the screen. The mirrors can automaticly fold when leaving.

[@JustFrugalMe]

Thank you for the added value. I was unaware that you could say one word. There are physical ways and presets to activate features;however, the video’s focus is around voice commands.

[@TheAeroegg]

Thanks for the video! I've had my S Plaid for almost two months, I had no idea, I'll have to try this out, especially temperature controls. I've been using the touch screen which I find to be awkward for adjusting temperature and fan speed.

[@bh9262]

Great Tips! You don't press and hold the drive stock - just press it and release it. then make the command. I used to hold it too, and it isn't necessary to hold it and it also messes it up sometimes. You can also say set temperature to 68 degrees" and "set temperature fan to 5", or 3, etc. You can "unfold" mirrors too if you forgot to unfold them before exiting car wash mode. You can command "drive" to airport or say "navigate" to...

Thanks! I meant to say “press” (I wasn’t using notes). Thanks for adding value in the comments 👍🏾💯

[@darelldd]

For quick wipers (much quicker than voice command) tap the button at the end of the left stalk. If you need them to run after that, the menu is now called up for you to access.

[@bobautrey65]

The point of the video wasn't to showcase the fastest way to use Tesla's features but to show how to use voice commands to control them. Volume and temp controls are faster with the thumb controls as well, but again, it's a tutorial on using the vocal commands.

[@JustFrugalMe]

💯

[@darelldd]

@@bobautrey65 I got a different vibe due to the many mentions of the difficulty of digging down into the menus and the dangers of same. I am merely offering a faster and safer method for those who care. I’m not trying to be negative or annoying

[@AJ-sz7bh]

@@darelldd why would manually be doing it be safer in a voice command?

[@darelldd]

@@AJ-sz7bh Because sometimes the wipers need to be activated quickly. Like when a truck sprays by, or a sudden downpour occurs and reduces your vision through the windscreen to zero. By pressing the end of the stalk, the wipers can be activated in a fraction of a second. Note that activating the wipers via voice command requires several steps and delay: 1. Press a button and hope that it begins listening and that nobody else in the car is talking. 2. Speak the command with good diction. 3. Wait for your words to be processed. 4. Then the action might be taken if the command was on the list and recognized. Using the stalk instead of voice command requires you to only take that first step: 1. Press a button. And then the action is immediate, and does not require interpretation nor delay.

[@JJ-ck2mt]

Thanks, Mr. Frugal Me! I've always been reticent to use VC -- "old school" I guess. Your video just made me eager and ready to make full use of this incredible feature.

[@JustFrugalMe]

😁

[@brianpatrick9902]

What an excellent informative demo. I’ve had my Y one week and had no idea about any of this. Thank you

[@dsoho]

Have had my Y 2.5 years and just learned this! Super helpful video

[@JustFrugalMe]

💯 there’s so much to learn about Tesla and is even better because they are continuously updating and upgrading💯

[@cgamiga]

re music/sources, @8:00 , I think so far searching AND voice commands to "listen to song/artist" only work on "streaming" source, eg Slacker. (I don't have Spotify enabled, might work..) You CAN say "listen to " eg "USB" or TuneIn, and it will go RIGHT back to the SAME song/playlist you were listening to before (VERY handy, as switching sources onscreen, gets you back to home screen, lose your place.) Might work for Bluetooth also, though I've had to reconnect manually which phone if not the primary phone. You can usually say "listen to 98.5 KROCK" or whatever station or frequency name, to get radio stations, but it's sometimes hit or miss. Sometimes uses FM radio, sometimes uses TuneIn streaming equivalent (fine/handy if far from home!), sometimes doesn't work. Sure nice hands-free though!

[@BaneSIlvermoon]

The best part about this is how intuitive the voice commands are. You can give the same commands in many different ways without issues.

[@JustFrugalMe]

I completely agree! The intuitive voice commands make it so easy to navigate and control everything.

[@rosariorose9]

[@marienguyen2501]

I love Tesla voice commands. Yes I use them to control climate, lights, wipers, etc., but mostly I use it for music requests.

[@JustFrugalMe]

Yes especially requesting specific songs

[@jhamptonphotography]

[@JustFrugalMe]

Glad I could help!

[@zkel1132]

Same here, I just bought mine yesterday!

[@cgamiga]

Agreed Tesla has probably the most comprehensive suite of voice controls over all car functions! There is a google sheet listing all 100+ commands! PS @3:22 wipers you can do from the left stalk, just push the side/end button... (long press is fluid).... that also brings up the wiper control pop-up menu, so you can quickly set manual speed 1-3 or Auto... faster than digging thru screen menus. Voice also works, as you showed. Also nice for "show tire pressures" or "show odometer" etc, after the holiday UI update that buried those nice little info cards... You can also say "help" and it will bring up browser window showing various voice commands. I use it often for "google xyz" while driving, if we are wondering about something (price of BMW X5 that just cut me off, or other EV; or translate a street sign/town name etc)... that doesn't always work, but usually has something, pretty nice to learn while driving! (let passenger read browser window, not you!)

[@dylanwhite6539]

My preferred way to control the wipers is with the left scroll wheel. Tap the wipe button on the blinker stalk and then the wiper controls appear on screen, but you can also simply click left and right on the left scroll wheel to change the setting.

[@d.w.7963]

Can you stack multiple voice commands together (such as "make it cooler And increase fan speed") If so how many can you stack? Also can you make custom command profiles? So for example could you make a "park with dog" profile so when you say "park with dog" it'll execute a custom sequence such as: put on the emergency brake, fold in the mirrors, turn on sentry mode, and turn on dog mode?
