车主不必寻找新的实体按键:打开应用启动器,或长按方向盘右侧滚轮,就能唤醒特斯拉中国车机里的豆包语音服务。火山引擎8月19日宣布,这项功能已随更新分批推送;自7月31日起随2026.14.13版本开始推送,覆盖Model 3、Model Y、Model S和Model X。

Owners do not need to look for a new physical button: opening the app launcher or holding down the scroll wheel on the right side of the steering wheel activates the Doubao voice service in Tesla China's in-car system. Volcano Engine announced on August 19 that the feature was being rolled out in batches with an update; rollout began on July 31 with version 2026.14.13 and covers the Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X.

这次接入的重点不只是聊天。报道显示,豆包面向中文自然语言交互,并被用于导航设定、空调调节、媒体播放和车主手册查询等高频场景;它还支持实时资讯查询、连续对话、讲故事和练英语。服务以独立App形式集成,车主可以选择“万事通”“音乐爱好者”等预设角色,以及不同音色。

Translation · English

This integration is about more than chatting. Reports indicate that Doubao supports natural-language interaction in Chinese and is used for frequent scenarios such as setting navigation, adjusting the climate, playing media and searching the owner's manual. It also supports real-time information searches, continuous conversation, storytelling and English practice. The service is integrated as a standalone app, and owners can choose preset roles such as “Know-It-All” and “Music Lover,” as well as different voices.

车内的分工也被拆成两部分:豆包负责车辆相关场景,DeepSeek Chat负责日常闲聊和资讯查询。特斯拉在美国市场使用的是马斯克旗下的Grok,而在中国市场选择了本土模型。火山引擎称,这是特斯拉在中国首次把第三方大模型集成进车机系统;新款AMD处理器Model 3和Model Y获得优先适配,部分老款车型则在逐步推送OTA更新。

Translation · English

The in-car workload is also split between two models: Doubao handles vehicle-related scenarios, while DeepSeek Chat handles everyday casual conversation and information searches. Tesla uses Musk's Grok in the US market, but chose a domestic model for China. Volcano Engine said this was Tesla's first integration of a third-party AI model into its in-car system in China. New Model 3 and Model Y vehicles with AMD processors are receiving priority support, while some older models are gradually receiving OTA updates.

具体改变是,特斯拉中国车主可以用更贴近中文表达的语音方式查询信息、发起连续对话,并调用一批常用车载场景。但服务并非立即覆盖所有车辆,用户需要升级至2026.14.13或2026.20.200及以上版本,完整使用还需开通高级车载娱乐服务。火山引擎和车主反馈确认了推送进展,

Translation · English

The specific change is that Tesla owners in China can use voice interaction that is better suited to Chinese phrasing to search for information, start continuous conversations and access a range of common in-car scenarios. However, the service is not immediately available on all vehicles. Users need to upgrade to version 2026.14.13 or 2026.20.200 and later, and full access also requires a premium in-car entertainment service. Volcano Engine and owner feedback confirmed the rollout's progress,

Original · Chinese

边界同样明确。特斯拉中国客服表示,当前版本豆包没有控车权限,不能实现控车功能;第一电动网援引的介绍也称,它不具备行车安全相关的控车权限。因此,这次更新首先改变的是车机如何听懂、回答和提供信息,而不是把语音助手变成驾驶控制器。

Translation · English

The boundaries are equally clear. Tesla China's customer service said that the current version of Doubao has no vehicle-control permissions and cannot control the vehicle. D1EV also cited an introduction stating that it does not have vehicle-control permissions related to driving safety. Therefore, this update primarily changes how the in-car system understands speech, responds and provides information—not by turning the voice assistant into a driving controller.
