Yes it is truly bizarre that the speech-to-text is often correct, but then the car does something completely different to the text. Like, how the heck can that happen?
Yes... disappointing, but it seems speech is "as good" as what I experienced in Toyota/Lexus cars over the last 15 years.
It
can work, as long as what you try to say matches
exactly with a pre-cooked command. Outside that... things are unpredictable.
Eg, when I say (in Dutch): "
Wipers On", the car responds with "
Windows unlocked." ?!? (I don't even know what that means.)
When I say "
It's raining", it responds with "
Unknown command".
When I say "
It's raining on the windshield", it responds with "
Enabling defog" ?!?
When, by now mildly frustrated... I say "
vooruit met de geit" (Dutch for: "Let's get moving"), it responds with "
Starting dashcam"...
On top of that, I have found that using speech for navigation can be hit-and-miss as well.
In the short time I have my MY now, I have found at least 3 destinations that the car somehow "auto-corrects" to another location.
Eg: trying "navigeer naar de
kaBelstraat in
Almere" is consistently "corrected" to "
kaPelstraat in
Almere", and worse, as there is no "kapelstraat" in Almere, navigation then plans a route to a Kapelstraat in
another town?!?
And this is not just me or my car: I've had other tesla-owners try this very example and they see the exact same response.
Which means that whenever I use speech for navigation, I have to double-check the end-result on the screen. Which to some extent defies the purpose of speech.
