3 actually useful ways to use GROK AI in Tesla vehicles

Tesla has added Grok AI to many of their newer models, with updates continuing to come out for select older vehicles. While the Grok AI cannot currently control your car, it can help your drive. AI voice models can be gimmicky, but here are three actually useful ways to use Grok AI in your Tesla.

Finding new music

For those on roadtrips, or just for someone who drives a lot, podcasts and music options can become stale. Grok can be asked about all types of music suggestions. Try these prompts out:

• “Suggest songs for me that are all about New York City.”
• “What are some songs from the 1980’s that no one ever talks about?”
• “List out the top 10 songs this week in the state of Hawaii, I am in a beach mood.”
• “Name a podcast that is all about murder mysteries in other countries.”
• “It is raining out, give me suggestions on moody, emotional music by smaller artists.”

Finding food locations for those with dietary needs

It can be harder to find something that everyone wants to eat, especially if people in your travel group have specific food needs. Grok can offer suggestions, look for places with good reviews and find dietary safe spots. Try these prompts:

• “What are three highly rated spots in Charlotte, North Carolina, that are gluten free, celiac safe?”
• “It is late, what restaurants on I-4 near Tampa are open late and sell curly fries?”
• “Grok, what is the highest rated, dairy-free milkshake location in Ocean City, Maryland?”
• “Give me an address of a Tesla Supercharger in St Louis within walking distance of a grocery store.”
• “What food items should we pickup to eat on a five hour road trip where we can’t refrigerate anything?”

Using Grok AI to tell kids a customizable story on the road

Grok AI can be customized, allowing it to be 18+ and explicit or toned down and kid safe. You can even set it to Kids Story Time where a customizable story is told the car. Try out these prompts:

• “Tell me a kids story about fluffy blue rabbit adventuring on a roadtrip to grandma’s house.”
• “Make me a custom kids story about two kids, one who is wearing a yellow shirt and one who is wearing a green dress.”
• “Grok, I need a soothing bedtime story told over the course of 10 minutes.”
• “There is some loud and bright lightning outside, please tell my kids why storms are good for plants and animals.”
• “Create a story, using real world facts, about the original explorers of the wild west.”

Grok AI update for Tesla vehicles

As AI advances, with Grok and Tesla cars getting updates, we should see a full integration where Grok can actually pull up your music preferences and more. One day, Grok should be able to list out food options and then add them to your map. But, for now, Grok is already speaking to you hands-free, offering advice, telling stories or even acting as health instructor.

What prompts have you thought of that could be useful for daily driving or a road trip?
