Just wondering if anyone has a clue what voice commands the Tesla S will use? Will it be built in or use an internet connection like that of Siri?
It uses the internet with Google Voice for at least the music, Elon mentions it around 2:30.

Yep, and I'd expect on native command support not no 3rd party API extensible options for aspiring developers. At least TM can update the cars firmware for more options in the future though.
Wow, how about that for a poorly worded sentence.
I'd expect native command support only.
No 3rd party API extensible options for aspiring developers, but it would be super cool to remotely start a song playing or something like that. At least TM can update the cars firmware for more options in the future though.
My 2010 Mariner hybrid has Ford Sync for voice-command of my phone through bluetooth - it can read text messages to you, as well as let you dial numbers or to "call _name_ on _cell/home/work/whatever_" Works like a charm.
The voice control also covers music, including radio, CD and any storage device you connect via the USB port. It can index my 3/4-full 80GB iPod and recognize "play album _album name_" or "playlist" or "artist" etc. Very very slick stuff.
That is the future of car interfaces. Bah! Humbug to touchscreens, knobs and buttons for all but the essential functions (AC, heat, volume, on/off).
The 2010 Fusion hybrid also had voice commands for climate control (set temperature by voice command in either Celsius or Fahrenheit) and other functions.
Of course, both vehicles had a few key redundant buttons on the steering wheel for hanging up the phone, adjusting volume and advancing up/down songs/radio stations/etc. on one side, and cruise control on the other side (no voice control for cruise, as far as I know, and that is a good thing, as far as I am concerned!).
News flash. TMC has hacked the Roadster interface for iPhone/Android apps. Looking for "contributors".
Send me a roadster, I'll contribute.
