xAI’s Grok is now rolling into Teslas, but hold on — it’s only for those with AMD Ryzen under the hood. Yeah, Intel folks, you’re outta luck for the moment.
## Grok’s All About That Ryzen Power; Intel Gets Left Out
So, Grok’s in Teslas now, which is cool. AI giving your car chatty vibes? Love it. But pause — you’ve gotta have an AMD Ryzen chip to join this party. Those with Intel chips? Nada, zilch. Seems like the Ryzen brains are the only ones beefy enough to keep up. Somehow, they wring out the juice Grok needs. Don’t ask me why exactly, I’m just relaying the gossip.
Saw this tweet from Sawyer Merritt, right? He’s like, Grok’s hitting the scene in the U.S. first and, yeah, only if you’re riding with Ryzen. You gotta dive into your settings — you know, Software, Additional Vehicle Info — to see what’s ticking inside your car. Intel drivers, sorry, your AI dreams are on hold.
Grok’s not taking over the car or anything — it’s just chatty. Seems kinda flirty if you ask me. Does it act all mischievous? Go find out, especially if you’re in the Ryzen club.
Oh, almost forgot. Tesla cut ties with Intel back in 2021, swapped in the AMD Ryzen with the Zen 3 architecture. Fancy stuff, eight cores, all that jazz. Needed the muscle for edge AI, I guess. Intel Atom just couldn’t hack it anymore.
Make sure you’re rocking the 2025.26 update, or no Grok laughs for you. Man, Grok’s remarks are supposedly a riot. Update, then buckle up.
