How does it work on a Tesla, voice control?

Think about moving your phone out of reach and then using an app to control your car. It's about like that. Only it's mounted to the car so you're both bouncing around out of rhythm.

Voice control works for most things but you can't even turn on the headlights, and it doesn't work at all without cell reception. Like we haven't had fantastic offline speech recognition for a dozen years?

They recently added some contextual controls to the steering wheel buttons but literally the only ones I wanted (headlights and wiper speed) were not included.

They only just recently added the function to automatically turn on the headlights when the wipers come on.
