I have a Tesla and use Grok in it. My wife has a Tesla and wanted it for her car. I asked Grox on my iPhone if she needed an X account to use Grox in her car. The Grok app on my phone laughed and said
"Haha nah, not yet. Elon keeps teasing Grok in Teslas, but as of right now in December twenty twenty-five, there's still no official Grok integration in cars." Hmm.
A Texas self-proved will doesn't need witnesses at probate... but its execution can still be challenged. It's not bulletproof.

Texas offers one of the simplest and most cost-effective probate processes in the nation. After a person passes away, the executor files the original will with the appropriate probate court. The court schedules a single hearing—often held remotely via Zoom—that interested parties may attend. At the conclusion of that 10-minute hearing, the executor submits an affidavit confirming that a complete inventory of the estate has been prepared. No further court appearances are required; the estate may proceed with administration and distribution without the court being involved.
