- The major software update introduces the AI assistant to certain vehicles
- It is only available on models with AMD Ryzen equipment
- Grok is currently limited in its capacities
Tesla announced a major software update at the end of last week (2025.26, in case you are interested), which leads to a multitude of new lights, audio cam improvements and dashboard. However, the most notable is perhaps the introduction of Grok.
The original idea of Elon Musk’s XAI Society, Grok is a generative artificial intelligence chatbot that can answer questions and keep conversations, famous, it presents a “destroyed” mode which generally responds in a very prudent and not PC.
Now, the AI assistant has been presented to certain Tesla vehicles, although they are limited to American models with the Premium connectivity package and operate on AMD Ryzen Hardware, with most of them made from mid-2021.
For the moment, the software is able to connect to the web and answer the generic questions of the driver or the passenger, rather than taking care of the key features of the car, which would be, you know, quite useful. The old voice control system can always do it.
Tesla published a demonstration video on the social media site X, which shows that Grok presents himself in a difficult amount of details on what would be one of the Optimus Humanoid robots on Tesla on a date. You can look at this below if you are a fan of childish humor.

The introduction of Grok to Tesla vehicles follows a temporary closure of the service after it was widely reported that he made a series of anti-Semitic comments and Adolf Hitler-Prasen earlier this week on X.
Consequently, XAI went to the social media site to apologize, declaring that his behavior was the result of an “update update upstream of the bot grok”.
More useful characteristics Ahoy
Alongside Grok, Tesla has gathered certain very useful additional features in the recent update, including the possibility of creating presets for audio settings, allowing the user to obtain the perfect graphical equalizer for various genres of music and easily exchange between them.
The ambient lighting can also be modified so that it shines various time shades for music, as well as corresponding to the color of the album’s illustration for an experience of Philips Ambilier in the car.
Finally, certain improvements in compressor menus have also been introduced which see more information added to the description of the load site.
This now includes information on the question of whether the compressor site requires paying parking, a valet or an access code, as well as details on the floor number if the said load is located in a several storey garage.
