Elon Musk has officially pulled back the curtain on Grok 4, the latest version of xAI’s chatbot, which he boldly declared is the “smartest AI in the world.” During a livestream on July 9, Musk touted Grok 4 as a major leap forward in reasoning, speed, and multimodal capabilities — and Tesla owners won’t have to wait long to try it out.
Not long after the launch stream, Musk confirmed in a post on X that Grok 4 will be coming to Tesla vehicles “next week at the latest.” This lines up with recent hints spotted in Tesla’s software, which referenced new Grok-related “personalities” likely tied to upcoming AI features for the in-car experience.
Back in January, Musk promised deep Grok integration for Tesla vehicles, describing it as a key part of future software updates. That promise now appears close to being fulfilled.
Grok 4 introduces faster response times, stronger logical reasoning, and expanded multimodal support — meaning it can process not only text, but also images and potentially video in the future. The release also includes specialized variants like Grok 4 Code for developers and Grok 4 Voice for more natural AI interactions.
Beyond the flashy features, Grok 4 has also made waves with its benchmark results. The model currently ranks first on several major AI tests, including ARC-AGI-2 (which was independently evaluated), GPQA for graduate-level problem solving, AIME 2025 math challenges, and LiveCodeBench for coding tasks.
With Tesla integration just around the corner, Grok 4 could soon become a key part of the driving experience — bringing real-time AI assistance, humor, and even coding help right into your car. What feature are you most excited to try when Grok 4 arrives in your Tesla? Let us know in the comments below.
