According to the latest news, Tesla has officially launched an AI assistant called Grok, aiming to add more convenience to users' driving experience. However, this new technology is not available to all owners; it is only suitable for infotainment systems equipped with AMD Ryzen processors and cannot be used in older vehicles with Intel processors. The reason for this choice is mainly because the Ryzen platform offers stronger computing performance, which is suitable for running complex AI models.
Tesla users who want to use Grok need to go to the "Settings" menu, click on "Other Vehicle Information" under "Software" to confirm their system hardware configuration. Currently, Grok's functions are mainly focused on interaction with users, and it cannot directly control vehicle navigation or air conditioning functions. However, as Grok technology continues to improve, more functions may be added to this AI assistant in the future.
Tesla began gradually switching to AMD's Ryzen embedded platform in 2021, especially the V3000 series, which use the Zen3 architecture and have up to eight cores. These processors are considered the most advanced computing platforms for Tesla's infotainment systems. Considering the high requirements of Grok's AI model for edge computing capabilities, Tesla may need to gradually phase out older Intel processors with limited performance to ensure that Grok can run smoothly in the new system.
Users can get the integrated functionality of Grok through the 2025.26 software update, so keeping the infotainment system up to date is very important. For Tesla owners using AMD Ryzen systems, understanding Grok's features is particularly important, which will greatly enhance their driving enjoyment and convenience.
Key Points:
🌟 Grok AI Assistant is only supported on Tesla models equipped with AMD Ryzen processors.
🔍 Users need to check the system hardware in Settings to use Grok functionality.
🚗 Grok will continue to expand its functions and applications through future software updates.
