- Larger Software Update Introduces AI assistant in 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 end of last week (2025.26, in case you were interested), bringing a number of new lighting, audio and dash -cam -improvement. However, most notable introduction is of hell.
GROK, GROK is a generative artificial intelligence chatbot that can answer questions and hold conversations, famous, the one who can answer questions and hold conversations, famous, the one who can answer questions and non-PC mode.
Now the AI assistant has been introduced to some Tesla vehicles, although limited to US models with the premium connection package and runs on AMD Ryzen hardware, with most of these manufactured from mid-2021 onwards.
Currently, the software is able to connect to the Internet and answer generic questions from the driver or passenger instead of taking care of key car functionality that you know is pretty useful. However, the old voice commanding system can still do this.
Tesla published a demonstration video on Social Media Site X showing that Grok goes into an awkward amount of details about what it would do if it took one of Tesla’s Optimus Humanoid robots on a date. You can see it below if you are a fan of childish humor.

The introduction of hooking to Tesla’s vehicles follows a temporary closure of the service after it was reported to a large extent that it made a number of anti-Semitic and Adolf Hitler-praising comments earlier this week at X.
As a result, Xai took the site on social media to send out an apology and said its behavior was the result of an “update to a code path upstream of the Grok Bot”.
More useful features Ahoy
Alongside, the bundle Tesla bundled in some very useful additional features of the recent update, including the possibility of creating presets for audio settings, allowing the user to achieve the perfect graphic equalization for different music genres and easy exchange between them.
Surrounding lighting can also be fine-tuned to glow different shades in time for music, as well as match the color of the album artwork for a Philips Ambilight-Esque experience in the car.
Finally, some improvements to the SuperCharger menus have also been introduced, which see more information added to the charging site’s description.
This now includes information about whether the SuperCharger site requires paid parking, officer or password, as well as detailed floor number if the charge is in a multi-storey garage.
