Tesla introduces Grok AI into some of its cars, but it can’t control the vehicle… yet

• Major software update introduces AI assistant into some vehicles
• It is only available on models with AMD Ryzen hardware
• Grok is currently limited in its abilities

Tesla announced a major software update at the tail end of last week (2025.26, in case you were interested), which brings with it a host of new lighting, audio and dash cam improvements. However, perhaps most notable is the introduction of Grok.

The brainchild of Elon Musk’s xAI company, Grok is a generative artificial intelligence chatbot that can answer questions and hold conversations, Famously, it features an “Unhinged” mode that typically answers in a very sweary, non-PC fashion.

Now, the AI assistant has been introduced to some Tesla vehicles, although they are limited to US models with the Premium Connectivity package and running on AMD Ryzen hardware, with most of these manufactured from mid-2021 onwards.
