Elon Musk Says Grok Is Coming to Tesla EVs

“Grok arrives Tesla vehicles very soon. Next week at the latest, “said Elon Musk on Thursday in an article on X. The EV brand would catch Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen, who have already integrated the chatpt into their vehicles as vocal assistants.

The announcement follows a livestream on Wednesday evening that Musk held with colleagues from Xai where the billionaire unveiled Grok 4, the latest XAI IA model, his initiative of several billion dollars to compete with Openai and Google.

The timing for the two announcements is regrettable for a assigned musk. In recent days, a version of Grok integrated into the Musk’s social media platform congratulated Adolf Hitler and provided anti-Semitic responses to several X user invites. On Wednesday, the CEO of X, Linda Yaccarino, said that she was leaving the company without elaborating her reasoning or her plans.

He remains to be seen if Musk can make his promise to ensure that TelSas à propulsion de Orrok browses the streets so shortly after his declaration, especially since he had so much trouble providing past insurance.

Mercedes-Benz was one of the first LLMS adopters in its cars, integrating the chatpt into the voice control of its vehicles last year thanks to the “Hey Mercedes” function of the MBUX vocal assistant. Then, he deployed a “general knowledge” function using the Grand Language model of Openai to millions of vehicles.

In January, Mercedes announced a new AI feature that saw the German car manufacturer launching a “conversational navigation” feature powered by Google Automotive AI Agent running its Gemini chatbot. The upgrade allows much more conversational queries, going from “find me the nearest curry house” to questions such as “Hey Mercedes, I’m a little hungry. Suggestions for dinner in Austin? ”

We do not know how conversational Grok will be in Musk Teslas. Fortunately, in response to the anti -Semitic tirade of the chatbot, Xai said on Tuesday that it would implement initiatives which “prohibit hate speech before Grok’s publications on X.” We hope this means that the owners of Tesla will not be subject to a Nazi doctrine of their faithful electric conduct when they wonder if there is a decent chest available nearby.

It is also difficult to know if Tesla owners will have to pay for access to Grok in their electric vehicles, or how much it could cost. Although the version of the chatbot on X is free, users will have to pay $ 30 per month for Grok 4 access via the website or the GROK application. And access to a more efficient version known as Grok 4 Heavy will cost much more, $ 300 per month.

Of course, if Tesla owners do not want to use Musk’s grok in their teslas, they will have other car options, thanks to the brand’s web browser. This allows access to grok rivals such as Claude d’Anthropic as well as potentially to open the AI browser, which could also be in the wild in a few weeks.
