Hey, so get this — xAI’s Grok is now hanging out inside Teslas. But only if your ride’s got a Ryzen brain. Intel folks, sorry, you’re on the sidelines for now. Like, what gives, right?
I mean, it’s kinda cool, having an AI wingman for your car trips. Grok’s made the jump into Teslas, which is fab if you’re into shortcuts and smooth rides. But here’s the catch: Grok’s being a bit picky, sticking with AMD’s Ryzen. Intel? Not invited to this AI party (ouch for older models). Apparently, it’s all about the muscle Ryzen packs. You know, getting that oomph for performance and stuff.
Oh, and sprinkle in some Twitter tea — Grok (Beta) is inching its way onto the scene, but only for U.S. folks with a Ryzen setup. If you’re wondering ’bout your chip status, take a peek under your Tesla’s virtual hood (Settings > Software > Additional Vehicle Info). Intel users, just sit tight, maybe?
Anyway — or wait, where was I? Right, so Grok is all about chatting it up with you for now. No fiddling with your car’s GPS or climate, just yet. But seriously, Ryzen owners should totally check it out. Grok’s got this playful side that’s apparently a riot.
And history lesson time (brief, I promise): Tesla said goodbye to Intel in ’21, switched over to AMD’s Ryzen Embedded. Think Zen 3 architecture, eight-core magic — advanced stuff. So Grok needed this kind of juice, leaving Intel’s older setup in the dust. Sorry, Intel, but performance was key here.
One more thing, Tesla heads — download the 2025.26 software update to catch Grok’s witty banter. Don’t miss out, unless you’re one for FOMO.
So yeah, Grok’s here, Ryzen folks are stoked, and Intel… well, maybe next time?
