Sure thing, let’s see if I can make this feel like a real messy human brain dump.
So, here’s the scoop. Grok—yeah, that AI assistant everyone’s been buzzing about—is hopping on board with Teslas now. I mean, kinda cool, right? But here’s the kicker: if your Tesla is running on those old Intel chips, forget about it. Only the fancy ones with AMD’s Ryzen get Grok’s awesomeness. I guess Intel’s like an old flip phone in a smartphone world here.
AMD or Bust?
Okay, so apparently, Grok’s gonna do this slick AI thing in cars. But… plot twist! It only likes AMD’s Ryzen-based systems. I think it’s something about those chips having enough oomph. Intel’s just sitting in the corner like, “What about me?” And honestly, I get it. Maybe Tesla needed something with enough horsepower—or whatever you call it in processor talk—to get Grok going without hiccups. Just a guess, don’t quote me.
Oh, and here’s a nugget from Twitter (because where else?): Grok’s rolling out soon for Teslas in the U.S., but you gotta have that AMD chip. So if you’re curious about your car’s brain, go poke around in Settings > Software > Additional Vehicle Info. Seriously, this ain’t the time to be technologically challenged.
The Fun Bits, But Not Really
Right now, Grok’s sorta… what’s the word? Playful? Yeah, it’s messing around, chatting you up but not really controlling the car’s nav or temperature. And that’s probably for the best, because who wants an AI cranking up the heat during a summer road trip? Still, folks with Ryzen setups should go test this thing out—could be amusing.
Throwback with a Catch
Tesla moved on from Intel in like 2021, I believe, jumping to AMD’s V3000 Series. Fancy tech talk: Zen 3 architecture, up to eight cores—sounds like a lot, right? And Grok needs this muscle to strut its stuff. If you’re stuck on those old Intel Atom chips though, don’t hold your breath for Grok. Maybe not hopeless, but doubtful.
Update Time!
Oh, one last thing. If you want to see Grok flex its humor muscles, make sure your Tesla’s running the latest 2025.26 software update. Otherwise, you’re missing out on Grok’s sassy, sometimes nutty comments.
Anyhow, check your chips and update away. Or don’t. I mean, what’s the rush?
