Elon Musk has announced that all Tesla vehicles will soon be equipped with Grok. The intelligent voice assistant developed by xAI.
Grok , xAI ‘s advanced language model , differentiates itself from other AIs like ChatGPT or Claude in its ability to access real-time information via the X Platform. This feature will allow Tesla drivers to benefit from up-to-the-minute information while on the road. Such as where to find the least crowded restaurants or the nearest Superchargers.
The assistant will be able to interact naturally with the vehicle’s systems. Commands such as “ Open the charging door ” or “ My hands are cold ” will be interpreted intelligently and Grok will automatically adjust the necessary settings. This integration promises a more intuitive experience than the current voice control system . Which requires a specific syntax.
Grok will invite himself aboard Tesla cars
Queries will be processed on Tesla ‘s servers or xAI . Rather than on board the vehicle, making the service available to the entire Tesla fleet . According to Musk, all models with Intel and Ryzen processors will be compatible. While the situation for vehicles with MCUs 1 remains unclear .
The business model remains open. Tesla could include Grok in its Premium Connectivity package (about $10 a month), tie it into a Premium subscription on X , or offer it for free. In recent months, a number of features such as YouTube Music, Amazon Music, and SiriusXM have been bundled into the Premium Connectivity package .
The beginnings of this evolution were already visible: In early 2023, China received a smart assistant limited to some basic functions. And Tesla subsequently updated its voice navigation system globally. More recently, the voice command “Hi” has started to generate responses, suggesting changes behind the scenes.
When will Grok come to Tesla’s cars?
While Musk has not given a specific date, limiting himself to speaking of an “imminent” launch, observers predict a launch in the first half of 2025 . Or even sooner, given the recent technical developments of the platform. It could arrive at the same time as the new Model Y , just presented in China.https://youtu.be/PSp4X293oyg?si=g9H2n8FL7_FG05Se
