The weirdest thing happened — Grok’s finally landed in Teslas, but, plot twist, it’s only for those with AMD’s Ryzen chips. Sorry, Intel folks, you’re sitting this one out.
Grok: AMD’s New Bestie? Intel Left Wondering Why
Crazy to think about, right? An AI assistant for your car. But here’s the deal: Not every Tesla owner gets to mess around with Grok. It’s trying to hang out just with Ryzen-based systems for now. Why? Beats me — maybe Intel’s feeling a bit out of shape performance-wise. Anyway, seems like Ryzen’s the cool kid here, giving the AI room to flex its muscles. Like, really, who saw that coming?
I stumbled across this tweet (thank you, Twitter rabbithole) from July 2025 — yeah, it’s recent. Apparently, if you’re riding around in the U.S. with one of those Ryzen chips, congrats! You might be getting Grok. Curious? Head to Settings > Software > Additional Vehicle Info to see if you’ve got the magic inside your ride. But don’t expect this AI to drive for you or anything—it’s just here for some chatty fun.
Oh, and backtrack a sec, Tesla was all about those Intel chips until about 2021. Then, boom, they dumped ‘em for AMD’s Ryzen with the fancy Zen 3 cores. Feels like yesterday I was hearing about Intel in Teslas, and now look. Life’s funny that way.
Anyway, if you’re in the cool crowd running software update 2025.26, it’s time to let Grok weave its commentary magic. No clue why, but those quirky AI quirks just make tech updates worthwhile, don’t they?
