Tesla's December Recap: Grok Takes Center Stage, FSD v14 Shines, and More!

Tesla wrapped up December with a bang, dropping their official update recap that's packed with exciting developments. From the holiday software update to major Full Self-Driving (FSD) advancements, let's dive into everything you need to know. Did we miss anything big? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!

The Holiday Update: Grok Steals the Show

The star of the show? Grok integration. Tesla's AI companion is finally feeling more usable and integrated right into your vehicle. Imagine chatting with Grok hands-free:

• Set multiple destinations or waypoints effortlessly: "Hey Grok, take me to the bank, then the nearest Supercharger."
• Find nearby spots: "I'm heading to this Supercharger—what's the best Chipotle nearby?"

This is just the beginning. Picture future commands like "Adjust my mirrors," "Put it in reverse," or even "Enable Full Self-Driving and drive me home." Grok in Tesla? Game-changer incoming.

Other cool additions:

• Custom Pins: Drop pins anywhere on the map, just like Google Maps.
• Charging Passport: Track your Supercharging adventures in the app with badges for unique locations visited and a "year in review" summary.

Full Self-Driving Hits Version 14

FSD got a massive update to version 14, rolling out widely and showing serious improvements. It's handling more scenarios smoothly than ever.

Highlight of the month: The first coast-to-coast FSD drive! David crushed 10,000 miles in his Model 3 without a single manual intervention. That's cross-country autonomy in action—mind-blowing progress.

Essential Upgrade for New Tesla Owners

One thing your new Tesla won't come with? Proper all-weather floor mats. After testing 3D Maxpider, Tesmanian, Amazon generics, and more, 3W Liners are my absolute favorites. They're in my Model X, Model 3, Model Y, and Cybertruck.
