July 14, 2025 19:30 IST Follow Us Tesla has announced its latest software update Every Tesla car is a perfect example of the modern-day colloquial “software on wheels”. It won’t be wrong to describe a Tesla as a software-run gadget rather than a mechanical device. The Elon Musk-led EV manufacturer takes pride in providing cutting-edge technology in every offering. At the same time, the company constantly keeps on updating its pre-existing software across all its models in a phased manner. The Austin-based electric vehicle manufacturer has announced its upcoming software rollout under version 2025.26. Tesla software update: Grok The biggest update is the addition of Grok, the inhouse artificial intelligence (AI) platform of X (formely Twitter). For reference, both X and Tesla are headed by Elon Musk. Grok is now available in Tesla vehicles equipped with AMD Ryzen-based infotainment systems. To use the feature, vehicles must have either Premium Connectivity or access to a Wi-Fi network. Earlier this week, Elon Musk confirmed that the company had begun integrating Grok into its vehicle lineup. This latest update is currently being released exclusively in the United States. Tesla software update Grok Notably, in its current beta version, Grok is accessible via the infotainment screen, allowing drivers and passengers to engage in general-purpose conversations. However, the chatbot does not support voice commands for vehicle functions such as adjusting climate controls, setting navigation, or opening the glove box. As a result, Grok does not replace or interfere with the existing in-car voice command system—at least for the time being. Tesla software update: Light Sync The newly introduced Light Sync feature allows interior lighting to respond to music and reflect the colors of album artwork. This feature is currently available only on newer models, including the latest Model 3 and Model Y, as well as the upcoming versions of the Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck to be launched in 2026.
