Grok in Tesla is an AI-powered voice assistant integrated into Tesla vehicles with AMD processors and updated software (2025.26 or later). It is activated by long-pressing the voice command button on the steering wheel or selecting the Grok app from the car's app launcher. While Grok cannot control vehicle functions yet, it can answer questions, suggest music, find food locations with dietary needs, tell custom stories, and engage in conversation, making driving more interactive and entertaining. Users can customize Grok’s personality and tone, choosing settings that range from family-friendly to more unfiltered modes.
