Trying out xAI's Grok chatbot in a Tesla while driving in New York City

Tesla began rolling out xAI's Grok AI chatbot in its cars in July 2025, which is still in beta mode. Tesla is not the only automaker adding AI assistants to vehicles. Volvo, Rivian, Mercedes, BMW and others are all integrating AI into their cars even though the tech is still in its infancy. CNBC's Rob Ferris takes a ride with attorney and Tesla Model Y owner Mike Nelson in New York City to see how he uses Grok and to find out how it integrates into Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised).
