Tesla has introduced Grok, an in-car conversational AI developed by xAI, providing drivers with a hands-free chat companion during their journeys.

Tesla just started pushing out its latest software update, version 2025.26, and with it comes something a lot of people have been waiting for: Grok AI integration.

Grok, X's AI chatbot, has just launched in Tesla cars via a software update, beating Google's Gemini to in-vehicle integration.

Grok will be available in Tesla vehicles, the company’s CEO Elon Musk announced on his social media platform X on Thursday morning—hours after xAI launched Grok 4, the most recent version of the chatbot that sparked controversy earlier this week after posting in what it called “MechaHitler mode.”

Finnish e-motor startup Donut Lab raised €25 million ($29.2 million) in a seed funding round led by Risto Siilasmaa, the founder of cybersecurity company WithSecure (formerly F-Secure). Risto has also joined Donut Lab’s board.

Musk's announcement comes hours after xAI debuted its latest flagship AI model, Grok 4. The 54-year-old discussed the recent innovation during a nearly hour-long livestream shared on xAI's X page, during which he did not mention the chatbot's integration into Tesla vehicles.
