Tesla Grok AI Summer Update: Intel Chip Support Incoming? Plus Essential Accessories

Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you're a Tesla enthusiast like me, you've probably been buzzing about the latest summer update featuring Grok AI. In this blog post, I'll break down the exciting details from my recent video, including how to snag the update, potential Intel chip compatibility, and some must-have accessories to enhance your Tesla experience. Let's dive in!

The Grok AI Update is Here – But You Might Need to Hunt for It

The Tesla summer update, version 2024.26 (wait, I meant 2024.26 in the video, but it's rolling out as 2024.26 – you get the idea), is making waves with the integration of Grok AI from xAI. This isn't your average over-the-air update notification – it seems Tesla isn't pushing alerts through the app right now. Instead, head to your vehicle, ensure it's connected to Wi-Fi, and check for the 2024.26 update manually.

If you've got a newer Tesla model, you might be in luck for Grok AI access. This was spotted on Tesla Scope and Not a Tesla App, highlighting all the new features. The star of the show? Grok Beta, a voice-activated AI that lets you chat with your car. I haven't tried it on my vehicles yet (fingers crossed it hits soon!), but it sounds like a game-changer for hands-free interactions.

Key Requirements for Grok AI

• Hardware: Currently, it requires an AMD processor and software version 2024.26.
• Connectivity: Premium Connectivity or a Wi-Fi connection is a must.
• Limitations: Grok doesn't issue commands to the vehicle – it's more of a conversational companion.
• Subscriptions: Availability and requirements could change, so stay tuned.

Could Grok AI Come to Intel-Powered Teslas?

Here's where it gets really interesting. Not a Tesla App dug into the Grok email and noticed something intriguing: while it specifies an AMD processor right now, the wording leaves room for expansion. This could be a hint that Grok AI is heading to Intel chip Teslas too!

From xAI's perspective, it makes total sense. They want as many users as possible engaging with Grok to improve the AI. Extending it to older Tesla models with Intel chips would massively boost adoption. What do you think? Will this open the floodgates for more Tesla owners?

Must-Have Tesla Accessories: Don't Leave Home Without Them

Now, shifting gears – if you've just bought a Tesla or are about to, you might be surprised to learn it comes with zero accessories. Not even a basic phone mount! But don't stress; I've got recommendations that every Tesla owner needs.

In my experience, these are essentials:

• Phone Mount: Keeps your phone secure during those lightning-fast accelerations- Center Console Organizer: Prevents your stuff from vanishing into the abyss.
• Invisible Underscreen Station Mount from Joah: My new favorite for storing sunglasses discreetly.

All these and more are available from our partner, Joah. I personally use their products, so I can vouch for the quality. Plus, they've got cool extras like:

• A wireless game controller that fits perfectly in the glove box.
• A portable air compressor for road trip peace of mind.
• Even an electric scooter – because who wants to walk from the Supercharger?
