Tesla China’s vehicle system has majorly upgraded the beanbao model, ushering in a new era of intelligent voice. Tesla’s China vehicle system has officially received a major update recently, and has fully launched the beanbao model owned by ByteDance. In fact, Tesla China has pushed out the 2026.14.13 version of the vehicle software update in batches starting on July 31, fully covering all Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X models, and newly delivered vehicles will be given priority. After car owners complete the OTA upgrade, they can easily wake up the new AI voice assistant by simply pressing and holding the steering wheel voice button, shouting the wake-up word "Hey, Tesla" or operating the steering wheel wheel. In terms of technical architecture, the new AI voice assistant relies on Doubao's end-to-end voice interaction architecture, successfully skipping the multi-step intermediate links of traditional voice assistants of "speech to text, text understanding, and text to speech". This "voice-to-voice" direct connection method not only significantly reduces the interaction delay, but also brings an extremely low-latency, more natural, coherent and proactive conversation experience, as if the co-pilot is sitting with a professional friend who can answer questions at any time. In terms of functional division of labor and specific applications, this upgrade has achieved refined collaboration of intelligent modules. The large bean bag model is mainly responsible for the core functions of voice commands, supporting high-frequency vehicle control operations such as navigation settings, media playback control, air conditioning temperature adjustment, etc. It can also be used to query the owner's manual. For pan-entertainment needs such as chatting, interaction and information inquiry, the system is connected to the DeepSeek model to provide support. In order to ensure the absolute safety of driving, Doubao does not touch the deep underlying vehicle control authority, and all vehicle control instructions still follow the original reliable link. Tesla's choice to introduce a local large-model solution this time has also triggered heated discussions in the industry. Although Tesla founder Elon Musk has always been proud of the self-developed Grok large model, in terms of complex Chinese context, emotional understanding, dialect recognition, and multi-instruction concurrent processing, the Beanbao large model has demonstrated strong localization advantages and comprehensive performance that is difficult to replace in a short time. It marks that Tesla vehicles have officially entered a new stage of intelligence driven by large models. via AI News (author: AI Base)
