Fan isn’t that bad because you can change it when it’s safe to do so. Changing the windshield wiper speed because you can barely see is my biggest issue. I always forget which way to swipe while trying focus on seeing out the window. It was worse when auto wipers feature just didn’t work and now it kinda works.

When I rented a Tesla I recall being able to set all these controls with my voice.

How well does voice control handle outside noise? Torrential downpours, sleet/hail?

If the windows start to fog during one of those situations, taking your attention off the road to look and swipe is very dangerous.

Edit to add: Is the voice processing being handled on board? If not, then if your signal fails....

The Model 3 at least is remarkably quiet; hard rain and street noise and dampened a lot. To the point where we felt it was almost eerie the first time we took it home. Voice recognition has been perfect in all conditions.

Do you have a 2021 model with dual pane windows? The Model 3 objectively has a noisier cabin at highway speed than anything else in its class.

I turned the wipers on with my first try, wearing a face mask, without knowing what the voice command was, and English isn't my native language.

You do need to speak loudly, and there's an unfamiliar concentration aspect to using a voice command rather than a switch.

Probably not the best place to ask this, but how well does it understand languages different from English?

Or even English with something other than a North American accent?
