Update 2025.26.3 - Release Notes

You can now talk to Grok, an intelligent assistant built by xAI. Choose Grok's voice and personality, ranging from Storyteller to Unhinged. To launch, go to the App Launcher > Grok, or long-press the voice button on your steering wheel.

Requires Premium Connectivity or a Wi-Fi connection. Conversations are anonymous to Tesla and not associated with your vehicle.

Note: Grok is currently in Beta and does not issue commands to your car - existing voice commands remain unchanged.

Experience light and sound in perfect harmony. Accent lights now respond to your music, adjusting in real time to both sound and surroundings to deliver a consistent visual impact across genres and lighting conditions.

For an even more immersive experience, you can also match the lights to the album's art color. While parked, turn on Rave Cave to transform the cabin into your own personal nightclub - with maximum brightness and full-on party vibes.

Go to App Launcher > Toybox > Light Sync.

The Dashcam app now lets you adjust playback speed for more flexible viewing. You can also choose whether the video fills the screen or keeps its original size.

While parked, go to App Launcher > Dashcam.

To improve the site arrival experience, new icons in the charger list now indicate locations that require valet service or pay-to-park access. Upon arrival, a notification provides key details such as access codes, parking restrictions, level or floor information, and restroom availability. This information is also available on the site card.

Customize your sound with personal equalizer presets. You can create and save multiple presets to match your listening preferences. Audio settings are now located under Controls > Audio and can also be found using the Controls search.

The Onboarding Guide helps you get familiar with your Tesla. It covers adjusting driver settings, using the touchscreen as well as controlling lights, wipers, and Autopilot features with the steering wheel, among other functions.

Go to Controls > Service > Onboarding Guide.

The vehicle will now display why music has been automatically paused. Music pauses automatically when you’re on a phone call or when you activate Grok.

Instead of just graying out music controls, the vehicle will now show “Playback Paused.” Underneath this text, it’ll display why the music is paused, such as “Phone call in progress,” or “Voice assistant in progress.”
