Earlier this year, Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk said that Grok AI is coming to Tesla vehicles soon. Since this was said in the ‘Elon Time’, ‘soon’ can be anywhere from weeks to months.
After around 5 months, strong rumors are spreading over Musk’s social media empire X that Grok AI has been integrated into the upcoming Tesla software update version 2025.20.
Soon after Musk’s announcement of Grok’s integration in Tesla vehicles, xAI released Grok-3, the latest version of its artificial intelligence chatbot Grok-3.
Multiple Tesla influencer accounts who have sources at Tesla, Inc. (TSLA), are spreading strong rumors of Grok’s integration in Tesla cars and the Cybertruck in the upcoming over-the-air (OTA) update 2025.20.
When driving your Tesla, or any vehicle for that matter, text conversation is nearly impossible. The rumors further suggest that in addition to voice commands, the 2025.20 Tesla update includes Grok conversational AI.
This means that Tesla owners with the software update 2025.20 and its subversion point releases will be able to talk to their vehicles. It makes driving much more fun and interesting.
The additional benefit is that you will have an AI companion on your journeys that’s intelligent enough to have a highly intellectual discussion with you in addition to guiding you through the shortest and safest paths.
“You’ll be able to talk to your Tesla and ask for anything,” Elon Musk said in a live podcast earlier in January.
My wild imagination says that if at some point in the future, Tesla FSD AI and Grok AI are merged together, the experience of owning a Tesla vehicle will be unmatched.

Expected Rollout Schedule and New Features
According to various reports, the 2025.20 Tesla software update has already rolled out to Tesla employees last week.
After careful testing of the new features and Grok AI, Tesla is expected to release the 2025.20 update to non-employee Tesla owners in June.
In addition to Grok AI integration in Tesla vehicles, the 2025.20 update is reported to have other features bundled as well. It’s expected to have better visualizations for trailers to improve the detection of these vehicles for safety.
Recently, there have been incidents where Tesla FSD wasn’t able to correctly identify an empty semi truck trailer, resulting in human intervention. The 2025.20 and its subsequent point releases are expected to solve this safety issue.
Tesla has redesigned the Supercharger UI in the 2025.20 update to support dynamic pricing (depending on time and location, etc.).
The rollout schedule of the 2025.20 Tesla update coincides with the launch of the Robotaxi service in June.
Tesla vehicles (new Model Ys in the first phase) operating as Robotaxis will require additional keys for riders of the vehicles. The 2025.20 update is also expected to have the ability to use these new ‘Rider Keys’.
In the initial phase of the Robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, the fleet will be owned by Tesla. In the future, Tesla vehicle owners will be able to use their cars as money-making Robotaxis (Cybercabs) as well.
