Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, announces Grok 4 for imminent deployment in Tesla automobiles within a week.
Tesla Integrates Groundbreaking AI Chatbot Grok 4 into Vehicles
Elon Musk, CEO of xAI, has announced the launch of Grok 4, a new AI chatbot touted as the "smartest AI in the world." The release event, held on July 9, 2025, was livestreamed on Musk's social media platform, X. Following this, Tesla introduced Grok AI to its vehicles in the software update version 2025.26, which began rolling out shortly after the Grok 4 release, around mid-July 2025.
The integration of Grok 4 into Tesla vehicles is set to revolutionize the driving experience, bringing real-time AI assistance, humor, and coding help into the cabin. Initially, the update is available on Tesla vehicles equipped with AMD Ryzen chips, including Model S, X, 3, Y, and Cybertruck, but limited to the United States and requiring Premium Connectivity.
Grok 4 offers specialized variants: Grok 4 Code for developers and Grok 4 Voice for natural AI interactions. The update 2025.26.4, a point release after 2025.26, further improved and fixed bugs related to Grok AI, indicating a continuing roll-out process since mid-July 2025.
The launch of Grok 4 on Tesla vehicles expands multimodal support to process images and potentially video. Grok 4's benchmark results have been impressive, ranking first on several major AI tests, including ARC-AGI-2, GPQA, AIME 2025 math challenges, and LiveCodeBench. It promises faster response times and stronger logical reasoning, marking a major leap forward in reasoning, speed, and multimodal capabilities.
The hints found in Tesla's software referenced new Grok-related "personalities" for upcoming AI features. These new "personalities" are likely tied to AI features for the in-car experience. Elon Musk's promise of deep Grok integration for Tesla vehicles is close to being fulfilled, with the launch imminent and set to happen next week at the latest.
