From what I’ve read this is the “NSFW” version known as Gork which is designed to talk like an edgy teen movie douche from 2005. You have to enable this persona.

Don't have a tesla, not sure if there's any way to test, but looks to me like the user at least claims she ensured NSFW was not turned on. and that gork was listed a just "lazy male".

I don't dabble with it so I can't say if there's a way that could be turned on by mistake on grok's settings elsewhere and it carries over to the car or similar.
