Tesla riders can now talk to Grok Bot from inside a Cybercab, and the same agent is rolling across the Model Y fleet. Yun-Ta Tsai, a senior staff engineer on Tesla's AI team, posted Saturday that the feature is on, two days after promising a fix when Cybercab passengers could not reach their bots from Grok in the car.
What Tesla said
"Grok @bot is enabled on all Cybercabs and the rest of the Model Y fleet," Tsai wrote on X, asking riders for feedback on what helps and what to improve. TeslaNorth reported the post and noted Tsai was quoting creator Dirty Tesla, who had just shared a video of managing a Grok Bot from a Cybercab screen while the car drove itself at night.
Tesla's official Robotaxi account amplified the launch later Sunday with a short post: "Talk directly to your Grok @bot in Robotaxi." That puts the feature on Tesla's own robotaxi channel, not only an engineer's personal account.
How it works for riders
Journalist Sawyer Merritt tested it Sunday evening in Austin. He said you sign into Grok once, your bots stay available on future rides, and the session logs out when you leave so the next passenger does not inherit your account. He used voice to add laundry detergent to an Amazon cart from the Cybercab. Elon Musk quoted the demo with "Try Grok @Bot."
Grok Bot is the task-doing side of Grok: searching and monitoring X, claiming an email inbox, shopping online, and similar agent work, as TeslaNorth summarized from recent xAI and Tesla posts. Tsai did not publish release notes or a software version number, and he did not say whether the switch was an over-the-air update or a server-side flip.
What is still unclear
Tsai's phrase "the rest of the Model Y fleet" implies some Model Ys already had it. He did not say when Model 3, Model S, Model X or Cybertruck owners get the same treatment. Tesla has not posted a support page for the Cybercab bot flow. Owners and robotaxi riders who see Grok in the car can try asking it to check bots; everyone else should treat wider availability as unconfirmed.
What it means: For Austin Cybercab riders, the cabin is becoming an AI workspace, not just a seat. For investors watching robotaxi unit economics, in-ride agents are a software layer on top of the ride itself. Nothing in tonight's posts changes fleet size, fares or unsupervised status.
