So, here’s the scoop — Grok, this nifty AI thing, is popping up in Teslas now. But hold on a bit, it’s not for all of them. Only the cars with AMD’s Ryzen chips get the fun. Sorry, Intel folks, looks like you’re on standby.
Okay, here’s why: imagine you’re in your shiny electric car, and you get this cool gadget that talks to you and, I dunno, maybe tells you a joke or two. But there’s a hiccup! Grok doesn’t dance with Intel chips, which kinda makes sense because, apparently, they can’t keep up. Something about needing extra oomph in the computing department — sounds techy, right? Anyway, Ryzen engines (or chips or whatever they are) seem to be the heroes here.
I caught this tweet — yeah, Twitter still keeps me in the loop — that Grok’s rolling out first in the U.S. and only if your Tesla’s got a Ryzen. You can totally check by digging into Settings, like you’re on a treasure hunt for your processor. But if you’re on Team Intel, no Grok for you, which, let’s face it, is a bummer.
Let’s veer off a bit — did you know Tesla used Intel until 2021? That’s when they jumped ship to Ryzen, which apparently has all these cores and spins faster (or something tech-sounding). I mean, I don’t blame them. Grok’s demands might be too high for the older crew. Ryzen’s got the juice, the Zen 3 architecture, sounds all snazzy, right? Anyway, the rumor mill says Intel didn’t make the cut. Some day, maybe?
Oh, and don’t forget to update to version 2025.26 if you’re itching for Grok’s company. It might even crack a joke if you’re lucky. See, cars and comedy — who would’ve thought?
