Alright, so here’s the deal. You know the whole fancy dance about AI and stuff. Well, Grok, this sassy AI whiz, has hitched a ride with Teslas but—wait for it—only if your car’s got a Ryzen chip. Intel folks? Sorry, you’re left holding the bag.
Let’s chat about it. Grok rolls out to Teslas, right? Super cool; imagine having a chatty AI bud on your drive who doesn’t judge your singing. But, uh-oh—newsflash—they’re only cozying up to AMD’s Ryzen. Turns out the older Intel systems just can’t hack it with the horsepower needed. So yeah, if you’ve got one of those, Grok’s gonna look the other way. Ryzen’s got the muscle, I guess. Maybe Intel will catch up… or not. Who knows.
Sawyer Merritt tweeted about it (because who doesn’t tweet everything these days?). Basically, if you want to check if your car’s got the magic chip, head to Settings > Software > Additional Vehicle Info. No chip? No Grok. Simple, but kind of a bummer.
Here’s what’s quirky—Grok’s only allowed to chat. No poking around your nav system or fiddling with the AC. Guess they’re keeping it on a leash for now. But hey, if you’ve been hanging out with this playful AI, you’ll know it’s worth a peek, especially if your Tesla’s rocking that Ryzen.
A little nostalgia: Teslas were BFFs with Intel until 2021. Then they swapped partners for AMD Ryzen’s V3000 series with Zen 3 architecture. Eight cores of awesomeness—or so they say. This new power lets Grok do its magic. The old Intel Atom? Not in the same league, poor thing.
Last bit—if you’re itching for these AI shenanigans with Grok, make sure your software’s up to date. It’s bundled with the 2025.26 update. So go ahead, join the ride, and enjoy the witty banter from Grok. It’s like having an extra sassy passenger, without the need for snacks. Or, you know, maybe just a distraction while your car drives itself.
So yeah, that’s the scoop. A tiny bit of tech drama playing out on your Tesla dashboard. Fascinating? Depends. Playful AI or tech snub? You decide.
