Introducing Grok 4: Tesla's Revolutionary In-Car AI Assistant
Get ready for a game-changing driving experience with the arrival of Grok 4, Tesla's latest in-car AI assistant. This advanced chatbot, unveiled in the 2025.26.6 software update, is set to redefine the way Tesla owners interact with their vehicles.
Grok 4 boasts a range of impressive features designed to enhance your driving journey. With its natural conversation capabilities, you can engage in conversations via the App Launcher or voice button, with selectable voice personalities ranging from storyteller to unhinged. What's more, Grok 4 allows for anonymous conversations that aren't linked to your vehicle, and operates either with Premium Connectivity or Wi-Fi [1][3][5].
While Grok 4 doesn't currently control vehicle functions, it's an exciting step towards a more integrated AI experience. With its real-time AI assistance, humour, and coding help, it could soon become a key part of your driving experience [2].
The AI community has been buzzing about Grok 4, thanks to its outstanding benchmark results. It ranks first on several major AI tests, including ARC-AGI-2, GPQA for graduate-level problem solving, AIME 2025 math challenges, and LiveCodeBench for coding tasks. Its stronger logical reasoning capabilities and faster response times in AI interactions have solidified its status as the "smartest AI in the world" [4].
The 2025.26.6 update, which began rolling out in August 2025, marks the beginning of Tesla owners' access to Grok 4. Initially, the AI assistant is available only for AMD-based vehicles, but Tesla hints at future support for Intel-based and possibly older vehicles with hardware upgrades [1][2].
Additional enhancements in this update include improved Dashcam App features, allowing variable playback speed and fullscreen video review, contributing to an overall better user experience [1].
Elon Musk confirmed the release of Grok 4 on his social media post on July 10, 2025, and the launch was a livestream event on July 9, 2025. The new features are likely tied to upcoming AI improvements for the in-car experience in Tesla vehicles [6][7].
Grok 4 also comes with specialized variants like Grok 4 Code for developers and Grok 4 Voice for more natural AI interactions. It expands multimodal support to process images and potentially video, making it a major leap forward in reasoning, speed, and multimodal capabilities [3].
Stay tuned for more updates as Tesla continues to push the boundaries of AI technology in the automotive industry.
