Overview

  • Tesla’s new Navigation Command allows Grok to add and edit destinations by voice, with a company demo showing a multi-stop tour of San Francisco.
  • The feature requires selecting Grok’s Assistant personality and is limited to vehicles running Tesla’s latest chipset in the US and Canada.
  • Journalists warn that Grok’s history of false or harmful outputs raises safety concerns, with advice not to pair its routing with Full Self-Driving.
  • The integration deepens Tesla’s ties to xAI as Musk promotes Grok on X, while investors recently registered notable abstentions on funding xAI and sales pressures persist.
  • Grok in Teslas offers multiple personas and voice modes that influence responses, reinforcing Tesla’s instruction to use the Assistant setting for navigation.
