Most Useful Tesla Voice Commands List & How to Use Them Safely

What to Know





* Learn the most useful Tesla voice commands that will actually make your life easier.

* Our Tesla voice commands list is organized by importance, tested by our team, and avoids redundancies.

* Discover some Tesla Easter eggs in the form of funny voice commands.













Did you know that you can control your Tesla using just your voice? Using Tesla voice commands is quick and easy, plus it offers a safer alternative to tapping the touchscreen to change the climate, navigate, text and call, and use other Tesla features. Our best Tesla voice commands list includes every command we could find, including some fun Tesla Easter eggs!

How to Use Tesla Voice Commands for Safer Driving





Unlike other voice assistants, like Siri or Alexa, you cannot activate Tesla Voice commands with your voice. In order to use the commands listed below, you have to physically activate the feature:




* On a Tesla Model S or X, you can do this by tapping the voice button located on the top right side of the steering wheel.








* On a Tesla Model 3 or Y, you can press the right-side scroll button on your steering wheel or tap the microphone button on the touchscreen.







* Once you’ve done this, you can speak a Tesla voice command! 


* You will see the written version of your commands at the bottom left of your touchscreen.

Pro Tip





If you try a command and don’t get the results you expect, you can glance at it to see if the Tesla heard you correctly.




Best Tesla Voice Commands List





Just like with other smart assistants, there are always several ways to get your Tesla to do the same thing, and not just because of Tesla Easter eggs! For example, to open an app, you can say "open", "show," "launch," or even "start." For this reason, our Tesla voice commands list is organized by feature and includes verbal variations.



“My Butt is Hot” & Other Climate Control Voice Commands











Elon Musk is known for including silly voice commands and Tesla Easter eggs in the software. That is why telling your Tesla that your or your passenger's butt is hot or cold will control the heated seats! Of course, there are more eloquent ways to say it, too! Here are all the climate-related voice controls:



* "My butt is cold" will turn on the driver's heated seat. Repeating it will turn it up one level.

* "My butt is hot" will either turn the driver’s heated seat down a level or turn it off. If the seat is turned up to maximum heat, you will have to say this three times to turn the heating off completely.

* "My passenger’s butt is cold" will turn the passenger’s heated seats on or up.

* "My passenger’s butt is hot" will turn the passenger’s heated seats down or off.

* "Set the driver's seat warmer to (number 1-3)" will set the seat warmer to the level requested.

* "Set the temperature to (number)" will adjust the climate in the car; you can also say, "Set the AC to (number)."

* "Set the fan to (number)" will turn on/adjust the fan.

* "Turn on the air conditioning" will turn on the AC. You can say "Turn on the AC" as well.

* "Turn on Dog Mode" will turn on Dog Mode.

* "Turn on Camp Mode" will turn on Camp Mode.

* "Make it warmer" will turn the temperature up.

* "Make it colder" will turn the temperature down.

* "Increase fan speed" will make the fan blow harder.

* "Decrease fan speed" will make the fan blow less.

* "I’m cold" will turn the temperature up.

* "I’m hot" will turn the temperature down.

* "Turn on recirculate" will make the fan blow out air that’s already in the car, which can save on battery life and be safer if there’s smog or air pollution outside.

* "Turn on biodefense" will turn on a special mode that protects you from any pollution or smoke outside the car from coming inside. This is only available in some models (2016+ Model X and S and 2020+ Model Y)

* "My hands are cold" will turn on the heating inside your steering wheel if your Tesla has this feature.

* "Turn on steering wheel heater" will turn on the heating inside your steering wheel if your Tesla has this feature.

* "My feet are cold" will turn on the climate control to warm your feet.

* "My feet are hot" will turn on the climate control to cool your feet.

* "Blow me" is another silly command that is supposed to be able to turn the fans on full blast in your Tesla. However, it didn't work on my 2019 Tesla Model 3. Perhaps it was removed because it was considered too inappropriate.

* "Turn on the rear defroster" will heat up the rear windows to defrost them.






Pro Tip





In most cases, if you can turn something on with a voice command, you can also turn it off by using the same command but using “off” instead of “on.”




“Display Superchargers” & Other Navigation Voice Commands











Teslas are unique because they have their own infotainment system and use Tesla maps for navigation, which is why you don’t need features such as CarPlay as a Tesla owner. While being able to navigate on a large touchscreen is useful, it can be distracting and even dangerous to use while driving. Luckily, you can navigate easily using Tesla voice commands:



* "Navigate to (address or name of location)" will plug the location into Tesla maps and start navigating there. If you save a location with a custom name like home, work, school, or even "favorite restaurant" and "secret beach spot," then you can use that for even easier navigation.

* "Go to (name of place)" will also navigate to the specified location.

* "Take me to (name of place)" works too.

* "Mute voice guidance" will keep navigation on, but it will be silent.

* "Stop Navigation" will end the navigation.

* "Zoom in" will zoom into Tesla maps.

* "Zoom out" will zoom out of Tesla maps.

* "Display Superchargers (or Destination chargers)" will show you nearby chargers.

* "Turn on satellite mode" will turn on satellite mode as long as you have Tesla Premium Connectivity.

* "Turn on traffic mode" will turn on traffic mode as long as you have Tesla Premium Connectivity.





Save Dashcam Footage & Other Safety Voice Commands











People often ask, "What is the fastest way to lock a Tesla?" Aside from tapping the lock/unlock icon on the screen, you can also use a voice command!



* "Lock doors" will lock your Tesla doors.

* "Unlock doors" will unlock the doors.

* "Save" will save the most recent 10 minutes of dashcam footage. Honking your horn or tapping the dashcam icon can also do this if you have these options toggled, but using the voice command is a lot more discreet and safe.

* "Keep (almost any word) safe" will turn on Sentry Mode. I tried "keep Tesla safe," "keep husband safe," and "keep summer safe," and they all worked to enable Sentry Mode!

* "Enable Sentry Mode" also works, or "activate" or other synonyms.

* "Call 911" will call the emergency services using your phone, as long as your phone is connected to the Tesla via Bluetooth.





Call or Text Using Tesla Voice Commands





Calling and texting in a Tesla is no different than it is in other cars that allow you to connect your phone via Bluetooth. Simply say:



* "Call (name of contact)" to call them.

* "Text (name)" to text them. You can also say "send a message" or other alternatives. You will then be able to dictate a text the way you would on your phone. Don’t forget to use punctuation and emojis by saying "question mark" and "smiley face."

* "Respond to text" can be used after a text comes in and you had the Tesla read it.





Open YouTube & Other Media Voice Commands











Another unique thing about Teslas is that the infotainment system offers not just music but apps like Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube! Plus, you can use the browser to search for anything on the web. In order to access some of these features, you need to have Tesla Premium Connectivity or be connected to Wi-Fi. Theater and Arcade are disabled while driving, so try these commands while safely parked:



* "Open (app name)" will open the app of your choice, like Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, etc.

* "Play (name of song, artist, or album)" will play the song.

* "Search for (anything you wish to search on the web)" will search for that text in the browser using Google.

* "Volume up" will turn the volume up, with alternative phrases like "louder volume" or "turn up the volume" working as well.

* "Volume down" will turn down the volume, as will various alternative phrases.

* "Set volume to (number)" will adjust the volume.

* "Mute media" will turn the volume all the way down. "Mute music," or the name of an app, can be used too.

* “Unmute media” will then revert to the previous volume.





Open Butthole, Lock Doors & Other Physical Tesla Controls











Here are the most useful voice commands that control the physical (hardware) aspects of your Tesla.



* "Open the butthole" sounds dirty, but it actually just opens the Tesla charging port.

* "Open charging port" will also open it, if you prefer a more serious voice command.

* "Open trunk" will open the trunk.

* "Close trunk" will close the trunk if you have a compatible Tesla or third-party gear that enables automatic closing.

* "Open frunk" will open the front truck, coined the "frunk" by Tesla users.

* "Close frunk" will close the front trunk if you have a compatible Tesla or third-party gear that enables automatic closing.

* "Turn on windshield wipers" will turn on the windshield wipers, but if you have them set to Automatic, they might not start wiping unless the Tesla detects rain. If you switch them to the manual, you can turn them on and off and control the speed by saying "increase/decrease windshield wipers speed," "turn up/down," "raise/lower speed," "min/max" or other synonyms.

* "Set wipers to (speed number)" will also turn them to the requested speed.

* "Adjust steering wheel" will open the settings on your Tesla display that will let you adjust your steering wheel, but only while you are parked.

* "Fold mirrors" will fold the mirrors in, but only while you are parked.

* "Unfold mirrors" will unfold them, again only while parked, for safety reasons.

* "Turn on lights" will turn on all the inside lights in your Tesla. I wasn’t able to turn on just the front or just the back lights; it was either all or nothing. 

* "Turn off lights" will turn all the inside lights off.

* "Open sunroof" will open the sunroof if your Tesla has one. Unfortunately, only the 2012 Tesla Model S has one.

* "Open glove box" will open the glove box. If you have a pin code set up, it will pull up the number pad on your touchscreen display, and once you tap in the code, the glove box will open.






Note





For some reason, you cannot open Tesla windows using voice commands. Or at least I wasn't able to open them on my 2019 Tesla Model 3.











Siri-Specific Tesla Voice Commands





If your iPhone is connected to your Tesla via Bluetooth, you'll be able to use certain Siri commands. What I love about this is that you don't need to activate voice controls using the steering wheel, and instead, you can just say "Hey Siri" or "Siri" if you are running iOS 17 or later. For this to work, you need to have Siri voice commands enabled on your iPhone. You can learn more Siri tricks in our free Tip of the Day newsletter.



* "Hey Siri, do I need to charge the car?" will tell you how much battery your Tesla has.

* "Hey Siri, what’s the charge level on the car?" will also tell you how charged your Tesla battery is.

* "Hey Siri, open the trunk" will open the trunk.

* "Hey Siri, open the frunk" will open the frunk or front trunk.

* "Hey Siri, lock the doors" will lock all the doors in the Tesla.






Note





If you have multiple Tesla apps on your iPhone, you may be asked which app you wish to use. You will be able to pick one by saying the app name out loud. Discover the best third-party Tesla apps here.




Other Tesla Voice Commands





It is almost impossible to list every single Tesla command because there are so many ways to phrase each command and because they are a little different depending on your Tesla model and what features you have.



* "Open energy app" will open the energy app that shows you your past and predicted energy consumption, a useful tool for Tesla trip planning.

* "Show energy graph" will also open the app and specifically show you the energy graph.

* "Open (app name)" will open basically any app that’s available on your Tesla. You can also use the word “show” instead of “open” in most cases.

* "Open (setting name)" is a great shortcut to take you to any Tesla setting that might otherwise require lots of tapping. Plus, whenever the Tesla updates, the settings tend to move around a bit and can be harder to find.

* "Open browser" will open the Tesla browser.

* "Search Google for weather" will search the internet for the weather forecast and will show the results in the browser like it would on your phone or computer.

* "Go to Tesla.com" will open the official Tesla website that you can then navigate on your touchscreen display.

* "Check tire pressure" will show your Tesla’s tire pressure on the touchscreen display.

* "Turn on/off the dome light" will turn the lights inside the car on or off.

* "Fog lights on: will turn on the fog lights.

* "Increase screen brightness" will increase the brightness of your touchscreen display. You can also say "decrease" to turn it down or use synonyms such as "turn down/up" or "lower/raise."





I did my best listing all the useful Tesla voice commands and explaining the various ways you can use them that suit you best! There may be more that I missed, or a few that only work on certain Tesla models or when parked or while driving. Next, learn how to unlock your Tesla with an Apple Watch car key!




FAQ





* Can I change the Tesla voice? No, it isn’t possible to change the voice of your Tesla. However, there are a few Siri commands that you can use if you have an iPhone, and you can change the voice of your Siri smart assistant.

* How Long Does It Take to Charge a Tesla? It depends! It can take as little as 30 minutes or three days or longer. Read more about the factors that determine how long it takes to charge a Tesla here.

* What does Sentry Mode do on a Tesla? Sentry Mode offers extra protection by alerting you of anyone near your Tesla and emitting a loud sound to deter them. Sentry Mode also displays a special image on the screen, alerting any passersby that they are being recorded.

What Are Compromised Passwords on iPhone? (iOS 17)

What to Know





* If you see security recommendations, that means your passwords may be compromised.

* Compromised passwords are passwords that have appeared in data leaks.

* You can turn off these notifications in Settings, tap Passwords, Security Recommendations, and then toggle off Detect Compromised Passwords.













Have you ever checked your saved passwords and seen a message about compromised passwords on your iPhone? This is Apple’s way of helping you stay secure. When you see this message, it’s your iPhone letting you know that some of your passwords are not as secure as you might think. However, if you do not need this warning, there’s an easy way to turn it off.



Jump To:





* What Does Compromised Passwords Mean?

* How to Turn Off Compromised Passwords Notification

* Frequently Asked Questions





What Does Compromised Passwords Mean?





If you’ve checked your security recommendations on your iPhone and see a message that says, “This password appeared in a data leak,” that means that the password was leaked. Sometimes, companies will be hit by cyber attacks in which hackers gain access to a database of usernames and passwords. If you have an account with a company where this has happened, your password may be in that database. So, if you use the same password across multiple accounts, the hackers will be able to log in everywhere that you use that password.



This is why it is crucial to make sure you use unique, strong passwords for every account. Your iPhone can suggest strong passwords for you so that you don’t have to worry about coming up with them on your own. Not only that, but iCloud Keychain keeps track of your passwords so you don’t have to. For more iPhone security advice, be sure to sign up for our free Tip of the Day newsletter.



How to Turn Off Notifications for Compromised Passwords  on iPhone





While there isn’t a way to turn off the security recommendation warning completely, you can prevent your iPhone from notifying you if a saved password appears in a data leak. This can be beneficial if you are sharing accounts and don't have control over the passwords. However, we recommend that you take these notifications seriously and, when possible, change your passwords based on Apple's recommendations.




* Open the Settings app, and tap Passwords.








* Tap Security Recommendations.








* Tap the toggle next to Detect Compromised Passwords to disable or enable this feature.











When this feature is disabled, you will not be notified if any of your passwords appear in data leaks.




FAQ





* Can you check if passwords have been compromised? You can follow the steps above to get to the Security Recommendations menu. There, you can see all the accounts that your iPhone has detected as being compromised. You can also visit the website Have I Been Pwned? This site allows you to enter your email address and will tell you which of your accounts have appeared in a data leak.

* How did all my passwords get compromised? If you use an easy-to-guess password or the same password for every account, it’s more likely that your passwords will get leaked in a security breach at some point. When that happens, all of your passwords become compromised since the same one can be used for multiple accounts. That’s why it’s important to use a different strong password for every account.

Flic 2 Smart Buttons Upgrade Any Smart Home (2023)

Smart buttons can make controlling your smart home easier without forcing you to memorize dozens of voice commands. I love being able to use my Flic 2 buttons to quickly control scenes in my home without belting out the voice commands and disturbing the animals or humans in the room. Here’s everything you need to know before purchasing the Flic 2 Starter Kit!









Do Physical Buttons Dumb Down a Smart Home?





Not at all! In fact, having a lot of smart gear in a home can be overwhelming, making navigating it harder than it should be! With the Flic 2 Starter Kit ($169.99), gone are the days of memorizing lots of different Siri commands, disrupting the entire household by yelling them out repeatedly, or picking up your phone any time you want to turn on a smart light, outlet, etc.!



Flic buttons are smart buttons that function as switches to activate or deactivate smart devices or apps in your home. It works by adding the smart buttons to your iPhone’s Home app (or Android equivalent) as an accessory, then setting actions for single pressing, double pressing, and long pressing the buttons. This means that one button can control three different accessories or entire scenes (if you set them up via the Home app).



The smart Flic buttons come with adhesive backing, so you can stick them wherever you find convenient. I have one on my treadmill headboard that turns the AC on high, controls the nearby lighting, and locks/unlocks the door so I can let friends and family in without disrupting my workout. I also have one on my bedside table to run my evening and morning routines with the touch of a button. They are really convenient and make waking up early easier.



While it may seem counterintuitive to add physical ways to control your smart home, these are different from your regular buttons or light switches. The biggest perk is that you can set them to control any smart device or sequence of smart actions—like setting a climate, turning on or turning off certain lights, locking doors, starting a robot vacuum cleaning, and more, all with one press of a button.








What Devices Can Smart Buttons Control?





Flic smart buttons can control a wide variety of smart devices. Basically, anything that’s compatible with your phone will work with the buttons. If you are an iPhone user, you’ll set everything up through the Home app. As long as your smart device is Home app- or Matter-compatible, you’ll be able to control it with your Flic buttons!



If you live in a mixed-device household where one or more members have an iPhone while others have Android devices, you’ll be able to use the same hub on multiple devices. Just install the Flic app on your phone via the App Store (free) and Google Play (free), and everyone will be able to use and share the Flic smart buttons.



There are over 1,000 devices and apps that work with Flic. There are ways you can use them that you might have never thought of on your own! For example, you can use the smart button instead of swiping to turn pages on your digital book or sheet music (Newzik app). Or you can use them to initiate a fake call to interrupt a bad date using the Fake Call app for Android. You can even set them up to work as buzzers if your family is into quiz parties! The options really are endless.
 







Can You Use Flic Smart Buttons without a Hub?





Yes, you can! But you probably don’t want to. You can purchase a 3-pack of buttons without the hub for just $79.99, but then the buttons won’t be Apple HomeKit compatible and will have less range. Plus, the hub lets you control up to 63 buttons, gives you full home control, and works with the infrared accessory that makes it possible to use Flic buttons instead of remotes (as long as the device uses infrared remotes.)



If you live in a household with multiple people, you'll definitely want to purchase the hub, otherwise, the buttons will only work when the phone is nearby. The hub makes it possible for anyone to enter your home and use the buttons, even if they don't have the app installed on their phone. The hub is also programmable and can be plugged directly into the router using an Ethernet cable for seamless connectivity. 









Pros:





* The buttons are super versatile with many different applications.

* The buttons come with cute stickers to help everyone easily identify the buttons.

* Adhesive backing makes it quick and easy to install the buttons in the most convenient locations, even places where you could never have a wired light switch or button.

* Compatible with both iPhone and Android, even simultaneously for mixed-device households. 

* You can save money by buying the buttons without the hub, but you sacrifice range, HomeKit-compatibility, and many other features.

* Quick and easy setup.

* Three triggers per button give you lots of possibilities.

* Great for guests or house sitters who don’t have experience with home assistants or struggle memorizing all the voice commands.

* You don't need to charge or plug in the buttons; they use the same inexpensive batteries that AirTags use (CR2023) that can last years but generally need yearly replacement.

* Flic sells great accessories that let you clip on your smart button, attach them to textiles, or use them to control anything using an infrared remote.





Cons:





* The initial price can be tough to justify for the average household.

* It can be hard to decide what to use the buttons for because there are so many options.

* Any tech can glitch or experience bugs/security breaches, so you may need to troubleshoot on occasion.

* If you experience internet problems, the buttons won’t work.

* The sticker options are pretty limited compared to how much the buttons can do, and ordering or making custom stickers can be an additional cost and/or chore.





Final Verdict





I really love my Flic buttons, and I love how much easier they make it to control my smart home. I didn't even realize how many issues I was putting up before Flic. I was used to having to repeat myself to Siri or running around looking for my phone to control my smart devices. These smart buttons truly make my home smart and unified instead of full of devices that don't always work the way they should. While the initial cost may require saving up for the purchase, they are worth the price. Plus, after you purchase the Starter Kit for $169.99, extra buttons cost $79.99 for three, which controls nine separate devices/apps or nine complex scenes with multiple steps.
