It functions as an AI companion, offering assistance like answering questions and performing basic tasks. To use Grok, a Tesla needs an AMD processor (common in models from mid-2021 onward), software update 2025.26 or higher, and either a Wi-Fi connection or an active Premium Connectivity subscription.
