Tesla Model Y India: Amidst the growing popularity of electric cars in India, Tesla has presented a significant gift to its customers. The company has released a new Over-the-Air (OTA) software update for its popular Tesla Model Y. The biggest highlight of this update is that the car’s cabin now supports the Grok AI Assistant. The good news is that customers won’t have to pay any additional fees to use this new feature.
It’s worth noting that Tesla developed this AI assistant with Indian users in mind. This is why it supports not only English but also several Indian languages, such as Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada. The company has also begun test drives of the Model Y at its showrooms across the country.
The conversation will start as soon as you say Hey Grok
Talking about the Tesla Model Y, using Grok AI is extremely easy. The driver simply needs to say “Hey Grok” or press the voice button on the steering wheel. The AI assistant will then immediately activate and begin understanding your voice commands. The most interesting feature is that users can customize the AI’s language, voice, and speaking style to their liking. This means that interacting with the car will now be more natural and easier than ever before.
Driving will become smarter and more convenient
Grok AI isn’t just about answering questions. It also makes traveling easier by understanding your driving habits and daily schedule. Using voice commands, you can plan multi-stop routes and instantly find information about important places along the way, such as Tesla Superchargers, restaurants, cafes, hospitals, ATMs, and restrooms.
Additionally, if a technical alert or warning appears on the car’s screen, Grok AI will explain it in simple Hindi. This will allow the driver to quickly understand the problem and what to do next, without any confusion. This feature will help make driving safer and more convenient.
