Which Tesla Models Are Compatible with xAI's Grok AI Model?

Tesla Inc. is set to introduce the Grok AI model, developed by Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI, to select models of the Tesla lineup in the U.S.

Details of the Grok AI Model

The EV giant will roll out Grok on select Tesla vehicles, with the following criteria for compatibility:

  • The vehicle must be located in the U.S.
  • The vehicle must have an AMD Ryzen chip

Users can check the settings menu on their Tesla to see what chip their cars are running. Influencer Sawyer Merritt outlined these criteria on social media platform X, stating that “Teslas with Intel chips won’t be able to use Grok.” Additionally, Grok will be available in multiple voices, but it won’t be able to issue commands to the vehicle.

Why This Matters

The news comes as there has been considerable buzz around Musk exploring options to merge xAI with Tesla and SpaceX. Investor Chamath Palihapitiya thinks such a merger would be “logical.” Amid the rumblings of a merger, Musk took to social media to tease the “most epic demo” by Tesla towards the end of the year, which could hint at possible developments with Tesla’s Optimus robot or even the Cybercab.

Current Developments

Musk’s feud with President Donald Trump continues, with the billionaire attacking Trump over the Jeffrey Epstein client files row, claiming that the President wants everyone to “forget” about the case.

Tesla’s Current Status

Tesla offers satisfactory Momentum and Quality while scoring well on the Growth metric, but offering poor Value. The company’s sales have been slumping, prompting Panasonic to delay a $4 billion US battery plant expansion.

Conclusion

The introduction of Grok AI model to select Tesla vehicles marks an exciting development in the company’s pursuit of innovation and technological advancement. As the news continues to unfold, it will be interesting to see how this affects Tesla’s future and its potential merger with xAI and SpaceX.
