(KRON) — Tesla owners are used to updating their vehicle’s software every few weeks or so. Updates are usually minor and don’t generally alter the overall driving experience. However, this latest update might just be a different story.
Grok, an artificial intelligence system developed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, is now available to use with the latest software update, according to emails sent to Tesla owners Monday. Tesla posted a demo video on X of what the Grok integration would look like with the user voice command.
Tesla announced on social media Saturday that it would roll out the Grok tool for its vehicles in the United States. The automaker said vehicle owners do not need a Grok subscription to enable the chatbot inside the car.
However, not every Tesla owner will be able to have Grok available to them. The AI chatbot will be available to vehicles delivered on or after July 12 or meet the following criteria, according to Tesla.
An AMD processor
A Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model Y or Cybertruck
Vehicle software version 2025.26
Premium Connectivity or Wi-Fi connection
This Tesla vehicle continues dominance in CA sales for third straight year
Tesla robotaxi service coming to Bay Area ‘in a month or two,’ according to Musk
Emails were sent to Tesla owners on Monday, informing them that their vehicle’s latest software update will give them the ability to use the AI system. “Just ask AI,” the email read.
“Press and hold the voice button on your Tesla vehicle’s steering wheel and start talking. Ask Grok for news headlines, information on a topic you’re curious about or a story for your kids where they’re the main characters,” Tesla wrote in the email. “To enable, open App launcher on your vehicle’s touchscreen and tap Grok.
The email sent to Tesla owners comes on the same day Grok landed a nine-figure deal with the United States Department of Defense (DOD). The federal agency’s contact with the AI chatbot is worth $200 million. The DOD also awarded competitors, such as OpenAI and Google, a similar contract.
Grok is a Musk-backed artificial intelligence tool that is widely seen on his social media app X. Grok’s X account has more than 5 million followers.
“Grok is your AI companion, an advanced artificial intelligence built by xAI and now, is available in Tesla vehicles,” Tesla said on its website. “Grok is designed to deliver accurate and insightful responses to questions of a wide range.”
More information about Grok and its integration into Tesla vehicles can be viewed on the automaker’s website.
