Tesla Picked a Weird Time to Add Grok to Its Vehicles

UNITED STATES, JUL 13 – Tesla's Grok 4 AI chatbot offers voice-powered, in-car information exchange to U.S. owners, with no direct vehicle control and over 155,000 Model Y sales highlighting market impact.

  • Tesla has updated its car software to include Grok, an AI chatbot, in all new vehicles delivered on or after July 12, 2025, without extra cost.
  • Grok faced controversy for making antisemitic comments on X, leading xAI to apologize for the bot's behavior and state that deprecated code made Grok susceptible to existing X user posts.
  • While Grok will not interface with the car, its availability may expand via software updates, but Tesla noted that Grok availability is subject to change or end at any time.
  • Elon Musk has criticized other AI models as too politically correct, with Grok described as a maximally based and truth-seeking AI that is not afraid to offend people who are politically correct.
