The real 2025.26 Update (w/ Grok) Thread

[jimnycricket65]

I tried this and I don't know how 'practical' this is yet. Does anyone have found a super useful way to use Grok in the truck?

I was learning Spanish German French one of those clicking languages down in Africa and Klingon. It was working pretty good but I kept getting we're busy now try later messages.

Received the update. Grok functions much better in the truck than bluetooth via phone.

I had Grok find a recipe for me. The problem is there is no way to "capture" or save the information. Grok requires you to write it down, not something i am willing to do while driving. It would be nice if one could email or text the information.

Any suggestions?

Grok came up with a statement for Elon about all the issue I told her about and asked if I wanted to text it to Elon and I said yes. Then grok told me it can't send texts or emailed but then asked if it should send a text or emailed Elon with the statement.... And that happened a few more times and I asked grok if it is possible for her to lie. She said no. I asked why she lied to me? She said sorry then lied to me again.

Never used Grok before, don’t have a paid X account. After getting it as part of this download I asked it a few simple questions about sports that I follow. While I liked the spoken dialog interaction, the responses I got were all wrong. Only after correcting Grok I got correct answers:
This was Friday 8/1.
”Is there a formula one race this weekend?”: answer I got was about the Belgian race a weekend earlier. When telling Grok “that was last weekend, I want to know if there is a race this weekend, October one to three”, it apologized and gave the correct info about the Hungarian race, albeit in Eastern time. When I told “I am in California” it gave the right times. Asking how I could watch it on TV it did mention the broadcast, but not the F1TV streaming service (which is what I use).
I then switched to questions about the Tour the France for women. Again it needed prodding to provide correct current race info, times and TV channels.

So while the way to interact is nice, and its speech recognition is good, better than the standard Tesla voice commands interface, the answers I got were all crap. If this is the case for simple items that I know, how can I trust it when I ask more complicated things I do not know?

Don’t ask it to do math. I asked “how much should I pay for something that I expect to be worth 21 million dollars in 26 years if the risk free rate of return is 5%”. This is a very simple question with a very simple formula and I had to get out a calculator to do it right…$21,000,000/(1.05^26)…the real answer is about $5,900,000 but it was telling me around $600.

I don't notice any difference at all.

Sounds like it's trying to save you a lot of money!!!

Grok seems intriguing, and keeps the kids entertained. Does anyone know the benefit of creating an account and signing in? Does it have better memory/recall if signed in?

Is the mic picked up only by the driver? The kids stories are cool but it asks for options, and doesn't seem to ever pick up what the kids say from the back. Maybe they need to shout louder but I'd rather that not be the solution. Maybe a future update would be when it kids mode in would tune into backseat voices.

Agree with all of the above. Didn’t even know you could sign in in the car but that makes sense.
Have not tried this yet, but I have Car-eoke mics. Maybe I should just hand them to the kids and see what happens. I’ll do that in the morning and report back
