3 year olds like the strangest things. Mine was really into Johnny Cash.
I set up my in-laws Alexa on my last visit amidst some "i'll never work out how to use it".If you've a nephew like mine, or a young child, they soon get the hang of Alexa. My nephew seems to like Smooth Radio, so he's always telling Alexa to play that station or other music, and he's only 3. Now letting a 3 year old control the car, or even play Baby Shark is way too much.
For the ID3 and 4, there is a button on the steering wheel to activate voice assist, or you say "Hello ID". If speaking, then the car will show lighting by the person who it is going to take the command from. So if the passenger says it, they will get some subtle mood lighting and then be able to issue the command.
It’s bit like this for me
I absolutely detest voice recognition, horrible .It’s bit like this for me

Agreed…. for Google, Apple, Amazon etc but car systems that don’t use these are still tricky, not only in terms of their recognition but in terms of their interpretation of requests. With Alexa you can be quite vague and she’ll get your gist. The car demands that you say the right thing, addressing the correct radio name or contact line number or whatever, and use only the commands it specified.
but maybe I am The flip side is that currently I have to take my hand off the wheel and press a button to choose radio station, or turn 3 different dials to adjust the heating.it’s just something else to concentrate on whilst driving along. It’s far easier to press a button or turn a dial IMO. I don’t even use Siri on my phone. I just find it weird taking to a machine/computer . Never had myself down as a Luddite
What seemed offputting was that the driver has to look at the centre of the console to see the screen thus taking their eyes off the road for longer than if the dials are directly in front.
You still have a small amount of key info in front of you (speed, camera sensors view etc) if you are in an S or X. The 3 and Y don't get an instrument cluster. This is apparently due to Elon's target that these cars will be driving themselves rather than being driven. Some say that it is less distracting and gives better road vision as there is no instrument cluster glare. There are some aftermarket solutions but they tend to be in an arms race with tesla software releases as they are not officially supported.What seemed offputting was that the driver has to look at the centre of the console to see the screen thus taking their eyes off the road for longer than if the dials are directly in front.
