Use voice commands to easily control settings and
preferences without using the touchscreen. You can ask
Model Y to do just about anything, such as adjusting
climate controls and media preferences. Available
commands include most features that are managed by
the touchscreen except driving-related commands, for
example shifting drive modes.
Voice commands are designed to understand natural
requests. You can use voice commands to:
• Adjust climate preferences.
• Tweak the windshield wiper speed and frequency.
• Control various aspects of your vehicle.
• Navigate to a location.
• Call a contact.
• Interact with apps and settings.
To initiate a voice command, press and release the right
scroll wheel button on the steering wheel. When you
hear a chime, make your request and the vehicle
responds.
