🔴 [Media report] Tesla owner's manual shows Grok text messaging feature entry
Summary:
Not a Tesla App reports that the Tesla Model Y owner's manual has added instructions for Grok sending text messages, but the feature is not yet live, and the rollout time has not been announced.
Content summary:
- Tesla's official Model Y owner's manual has added an item to the capability list of the Grok "Assistant" persona: "Text messaging: Ask Grok to send a text message to a contact or phone number, for example, 'Text Mom to say I'm on my way.'"
- The capabilities currently listed for Grok in the manual include: navigation search and adding/removing waypoints, making phone calls, media search and playback, control panel settings search, vehicle controls (climate temperature, seat heating and ventilation, steering wheel heating, glovebox), and vehicle question answering based on the owner's manual.
- Grok currently supports making phone calls, but text messaging is not currently supported.
- The article outlines the timeline of Grok coming to the car: first launched in version 2025.26, initially limited to the United States, then expanded to Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and recently expanded to all of Europe and multiple Asian countries; since then, navigation support and location-based reminders were added successively, and vehicle controls were added this summer.
- Tesla is also advancing Grok Bot integration, connecting the cabin with external AI agents; Musk previously confirmed that Grok will control FSD (Supervised) in a future update.
- The launch time for Grok's text messaging feature has not been announced, but the feature has been written into the user manual, and a subsequent OTA update may activate it.
