Grok AI Models Exclusive to Teslas with AMD Ryzen Processors, Excluding Intel-Based Models

Okay, so here’s the deal with Tesla’s new AI stuff, and let me just say, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. So, xAI’s Grok is now kind of hanging out in Teslas, but only if you’ve got one of those Ryzen chips. If you’re rolling with Intel, sorry, you’re out of luck. Weird, right? Anyway, let’s jump into it.

Okay, so Grok is supposed to make driving even more of a breeze (ha, because we need screens to do that now). But here’s the catch: it works only on the Ryzen-based systems in Teslas. Why, you ask? Apparently, Intel just can’t keep up. Bummer for Intel users, but hey, maybe that’s just how the cookie crumbles.

I found a tweet — or did it find me? — about how you can check this whole chip thing. Simple stuff: Settings, Software, Additional Vehicle Info. It’s like a treasure hunt, but with hardware info. And yes, if you’re one of the chosen ones with Ryzen, congrats! If not? Well, maybe someday Intel will catch a break. Or not. Who knows.

Grok doesn’t run your car. Let’s be clear, it’s more like a quirky backseat driver rather than a real one. It won’t mess with your navigation or turn up the heat on a cold day. But it’ll chat with you, which is something, I guess. Why do I feel it might be more fun than it sounds? Maybe it’s because anything is possible — or I just get amused easily. You decide.

Here’s some history — Tesla used to go with Intel till 2021 but then bam! Switched to Ryzen’s fancy V3000 series, with all those Zen 3 vibes and whatnot. It’s like Tesla needs more horsepower, but for computing. And yes, if you’re on the old Intel systems, you might need to say goodbye to dreams of Grok.

Oh, and don’t forget, there’s this 2025.26 software update that opens the door to Grok’s fun and games. So, update away if you haven’t already. Because who wouldn’t want their car to crack jokes?

And that’s the tea on this whole Grok in Tesla saga. Isn’t tech just a whirlwind sometimes?
