Tesla's latest AI assistant, Grok, is attracting widespread attention from car owners. This intelligent assistant aims to make the driving experience more convenient and easy, fully leveraging the advantages of artificial intelligence. However, there are some limitations on the use of Grok, mainly targeting vehicles equipped with AMD Ryzen processors, while users with older Intel processors will not be able to enjoy this new feature.
To use Grok, owners need to go to the "Settings" menu in their vehicle, select "Software," then enter "Other Vehicle Information" to verify their system hardware capabilities. It is worth noting that currently, Grok's AI assistant is limited to interacting with users and cannot control the vehicle's navigation or air conditioning functions. However, considering Grok's potential in intelligent interaction, Tesla owners with AMD Ryzen systems may want to learn more about this new companion.
Tesla began gradually shifting from Intel processors to AMD's Ryzen embedded platform since 2021, especially the V3000 series, which use the advanced Zen3 architecture and support up to eight cores, significantly enhancing the computing power of the infotainment system. This is the foundation for Grok to run, as AI models require strong edge computing capabilities to ensure a smooth user experience. Due to the limited performance of the old Intel Atom platform, Tesla seems to have no choice but to gradually phase out these older systems.
Grok's integrated features are expected to officially launch in the 2025.26 software update, so owners should ensure their infotainment systems are updated in time to enjoy the new experience brought by Grok. In addition, Grok is not only a practical assistant; Tesla users can also expect it to provide some humorous and funny comments, adding fun to the driving process.
