Alright, let’s talk about what’s really going on with Tesla.
The rumors have been flying for months, the kind of stuff you see and wonder if it’s just wishful thinking from people with too much time on their hands.
But it’s not.
It’s real. A video just surfaced online showing Grok, Elon Musk’s AI, running inside a Tesla. And it is coming with software update 2025.26.
Official Confirmation of Grok and Tesla Integration
The proof is officially in. First, there was the nod from Elon Musk on X that got everyone’s attention, confirming this has been in the works.
But a corporate announcement is one thing. Seeing it in action is something else entirely.
Leaked Grok in Tesla Video
This is the video everyone is passing around. Watch it.
This isn’t just a small update. This changes the entire feel of the car.
New Grok Features Coming to Tesla
This is more than just a new voice. Based on the video, this update is about making your car smarter, more useful, and honestly, a lot more fun. Let’s look at the specifics.
An AI with Multiple Personalities
This is probably the coolest part. You can literally choose the vibe of your AI assistant. The video shows Gork with a lazy, sarcastic male voice that sounds completely unimpressed with being in your car.
When the driver says, “Hey Grok, I hear you’re on Tesla now,” the upbeat Ara’s AI’s response is, “Hey yeah, I’m here to help with whatever you need. What’s up?”
That’s pretty neat. You can choose different personality voices. It just makes the car more fun.
Natural Language Voice Commands
The other huge thing this video shows is that you can have a normal conversation with Grok. You don’t have to talk to it like a robot anymore.
You know the drill right now. You have to say the command perfectly. “Navigate. To. One. Two. Three. Main. Street.” It’s infuriating and distracting.
The guy in the video just asks a normal question: “Hey, what’s the distance from San Jose, California, to LA?”
And Grok gives him a perfect, detailed answer about the mileage and the drive time. This is how it should have been all along. You don’t have to think about how to ask the question. You just ask it.
Leaked Image Reveals Grok’s Wild Settings
Just when you thought the AI personalities was the wildest part of this story, another image leaked. And this one… well, this one changes things.
It’s the “Grok Settings” screen, and it confirms something absolutely unheard of for a factory-installed car assistant.
Let’s break this down, because it’s important.
- “Enable NSFW” Toggle: Yes, you are reading that right. Your car will have an optional Not-Safe-For-Work mode. This is classic Elon Musk. It’s a direct shot at every other sanitized AI on the market. While Siri and Alexa are programmed to be as bland as possible, Grok is giving you the choice to remove the guardrails. This means you can get unfiltered opinions, edgy humor, and who knows what else.
- “Kids Mode” Toggle: But what if you have, you know, actual kids in the car? Right below the NSFW toggle is a “Kids Mode” switch. This is the safety latch. It’s the feature that will let parents use the AI without worrying that it will start telling off-color jokes during the school run. It’s the practical feature that makes the NSFW mode possible. You get your unfiltered AI when you are driving alone, and a G-rated version when the family is along for the ride.
How to Get Grok in Your Tesla
Okay, so you want it. Here is what we know from everything we are gathering,
- Software Update 2025.26:That’s the one to watch for. It’ll probably be a staggered rollout, as always, so don’t freak out if your neighbor gets it a week before you do.
- Connect to Wi-Fi or Premium Connectivity: This makes sense, since Grok needs a constant data connection to work its magic. If you don’t have it, you might want to look into that.
- No Extra Subscription (For Now): It is currently unclear if an additional subscription to an xAI service will be required, but initial access seems tied to the vehicle’s existing Premium Connectivity plan or Wi-Fi.
Once you get the update, the leaked images show a new Grok built-in app in the app launcher. Once your car updates, you should see a new “Grok” app with the xAI logo right in your app launcher.
This is the kind of update that actually makes the car better. Not just a new fart sound or a visual tweak. It adds a useful, entertaining, and long-overdue feature that will make driving just a little bit less of a chore.
Now, I’m genuinely curious.
What’s the first completely ridiculous thing you’re going to ask it?
