Real-time analysis of public opinion and engagement
Community concerns and opposing viewpoints
A large contingent worries that AI-enabled cars could be remotely commandeered, hacked or “go rogue,” with vivid scenarios of vehicles being driven off cliffs or disabled. Those concerns are tied to distrust in authorities and tech firms controlling vehicle behavior.
Several users fear constant data collection — voice, locations and behavior — being stored in the cloud and monitored by corporations or government actors. That feeds calls to keep cars offline or buy older, analog vehicles.
Multiple replies complain the “should be illegal” hook clashes with the presenter’s apparent praise and that sensational phrasing is tired and misleading.
Commenters point to Android Auto, smartphones and existing automaker features, arguing the demo is incremental rather than revolutionary and questioning the novelty.
turning car features into recurring paid services — charging to unlock capabilities on a vehicle you already bought — provokes anger about paywalls and vendor lock-in.
Several users report Grok giving bad or hallucinated suggestions (wrong restaurants, odd timings) and being unreliable as a practical assistant, undermining trust in the feature.
Some replies mock the Cybertruck’s aesthetics and comfort, saying they won’t buy such vehicles or that the design makes adoption unlikely outside certain markets.
Alongside technical critiques are insults, doomsday takes about AI, vaccine conspiracies and general distrust — tone ranges from sarcastic jokes to alarmist rhetoric.
A smaller set of replies praise the demo, defend legality, or say the feature works well and is useful; others suggest this is simply hype or a demo rather than a shipped product.
Users suggest avoiding connected cars, using Faraday bags, removing antennas, testing brakes and sticking with gas cars or basic radios if you want control and privacy.

In the future your car will do all the UberEats deliveries for you.
Wait… he literally asked for food stop in about an hour, but Grok immediately sent him to eat in 10 minutes? Am I missing something or is Grok just like 'you’re hungry NOW, bro'?
Community members who agree with this perspective
Replies gush about how “KITT”-level AI in a Cybertruck feels like sci‑fi come true — many want one now, call it “mind‑boggling,” and applaud Tesla for making driving feel futuristic and fun.
Multiple voices argue this is a game changer — “software quietly eating the car industry,” the end of CarPlay/Android Auto, and legacy OEMs described as years behind.
People imagine real‑time trip planning, automated errands, robotaxis, in‑car tutoring/entertainment, and smarter charging stops — features that could make road trips and commutes far more efficient.
Several replies flag concerns about driver distraction, regulatory boundaries (is some routing even allowed?), and calls for rules rather than bans to manage risks.
Comments warn that “anything you tell Grok is now automatically saved for future training,” prompting fears about who owns conversational data and how it’s used.
Some predict Grok+Tesla would crush rivals and reshape ride services, while others note potential business and ethical implications as autonomy scales.
The thread is thick with references and jokes — Knight Rider/KITT, replacing boyfriends, meme‑creation — mixing hype with light skepticism and awe.
everyone who still thinks $TSLA is just a car company has to see this
And Tesla is getting better every day with the OTA update 💯
Integrating Grok into Cybertruck shows AI’s growing role in real-time trip planning and in-car interaction.
