What actually happened
Deadline Sep 30 2026 passed without the June 18 FSD planning-layer commands ('Hey Grok, turn right here' / drop-off-then-park). Tesla's Sep 22 Grok Bot launch lets SuperGrok Heavy owners order coffee, shop, and manage email/calendar by voice while FSD drives. A Sep 29 owner demo of 'Grok, turn right up ahead' is a fan-built Tesla navigation-API hack, not a shipped Tesla feature. Fetched Oct 5 2026: no Tesla/Elon receipt of mid-drive FSD planning-layer commands. Missed. Not a Tesla App Sep 22 2026 (re-checked Oct 5) — Grok Bot errands while FSD drives; chauffeur-like FSD planning-layer commands still forthcoming ↗

On June 18, 2026, a Tesla owner asked Musk on X for the ability to give Tesla's Full Self-Driving natural-language commands through Grok — like telling an Uber driver 'turn right here' or 'drop us off at the entrance, then park.' Musk replied that the conversational-Grok-in-FSD functionality 'will be there in about 3 months or so,' i.e. roughly September 2026. The feature would extend the in-car voice-command capabilities he first floated in February 2026 (custom parking and navigation preferences).
