Tesla Turns On Grok Bot for Cybercab and Model Y

Grok Bot now works inside every Cybercab and across the rest of Tesla’s Model Y fleet, according to Yun-Ta Tsai, a senior staff engineer on Tesla’s AI team, who announced the rollout on X Saturday night just two days after promising riders a fix.

“Grok @bot is enabled on all Cybercabs and the rest of the Model Y fleet,” Tsai wrote. “Please let us know how it helps you and what to improve.”

Tsai was quoting Tesla creator Dirty Tesla, who had just posted a video of a Grok Bot being managed from the screen of a Cybercab. “Tesla engineers legit do not sleep,” he wrote. The video shows the Grok bar running along the bottom of the display while the car drives itself at night.

The quick turnaround is the story here. On Thursday, Dirty Tesla complained that riders couldn’t reach their Grok Bots from Grok inside a Cybercab, and Tsai replied that it would be “fixed soon in the upcoming update,” adding that he’d been testing it every day. That promise of Grok Bot access for Cybercab riders came less than two days ago. Saturday’s post says that update has now landed, and it went further than the Cybercab.

For anyone catching up, Grok Bot is the agent side of Grok that actually does tasks for you. Over the past few weeks it has picked up the ability to search, read and monitor X, claim its own email inbox, and, by Elon Musk’s account, shop online for you. Tsai has been a regular voice on how Tesla and Grok overlap, from describing how engineers are using Grok to ship FSD and Cybercab features overnight to his team’s account getting a new name on X.

Tesla hasn’t published release notes for the change, and Tsai didn’t name a software version. He also didn’t say whether it needed an over-the-air update or was switched on from the server side, or whether Model 3, Model S, Model X and Cybertruck owners are next. His wording, “the rest of the Model Y fleet,” suggests the feature had already reached some Model Ys before Saturday.

Either way, if you’re in a Model Y tonight, it’s worth tapping Grok and asking it to check on your Bots. Tsai is asking for feedback, so he’ll probably hear plenty by morning.
