Tesla rolls out in-car Grok AI in Japan, beta available without extra fees
Tesla has begun supporting the conversational AI Grok in its vehicles in Japan. Japan ITmedia reported that Tesla Japan announced the rollout on its official X account. The feature is available on vehicles running software version 2026.20 or later and requires a Premium Connectivity subscription, with an English help page also noting Wi-Fi as an option. The beta does not require a separate Grok account or additional fees as of July 10, but it does not support vehicle control functions such as climate or media.
