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

Sure, here’s the rewritten article:

You know what’s wild? Tesla’s AI assistant, Grok, is now joining the party, but—and it’s a big but—it’s only mingling with the AMD Ryzen crowd. If your Tesla’s got an Intel chip, well, tough luck for now.

So, here’s the scoop: This AI thingamajig, Grok, is being rolled out to certain Teslas. But don’t get too excited unless you’ve got the Ryzen setup, because Intel? They’re just not invited to this shindig yet—probably due to some performance hiccup or whatever. The Ryzen systems, well, they’re the chosen ones because they can apparently handle the heavy lifting. Intel’s still waiting by the sidelines, hoping for a chance to join in someday.

Now, I stumbled across this tweet from Sawyer Merritt—honestly, no idea why I even checked Twitter right then, but it was worth it. Turns out Grok’s in beta and only showing up in U.S.-based Teslas with those AMD chips. You gotta pop over to Settings > Software > Additional Vehicle Info to check if your ride’s cool enough for Grok.

Right now, Grok can chat you up—nothing more. It’s not gonna steer your Tesla or control the A/C (which is maybe a good thing). For those lucky folks with Ryzen, tinkering with Grok could be a blast.

Going back in time a bit—Tesla was all about that Intel life until 2021. Then, bam, outta nowhere, they swiped right on AMD’s Ryzen. Those Zen 3 architecture chips are the real deal with up to eight cores. Maybe Intel’s is feeling a bit like the underdog here. Basically, the whole Grok thing’s demanding some serious power, and Intel’s older chips just aren’t cutting it.

Oh, and by the way, make sure you’ve got the latest 2025.26 software update if you’re hoping to hear Grok’s witty banter. If you don’t, well, you’ll be missing out on all the laughs.

Hope you enjoy Grok if you’re in the Ryzen club, and who knows, maybe Intel will get some love down the road.
