A video is making the rounds online–and it’s got even Elon Musk cracking up.
Tesla owner Zach Jenkins recently put his car’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) tech to the test with a voice command: “Take me somewhere I’ve never been.” What he didn’t expect was the destination the car took him to – to the gym – and the Internet in stitches.
Instead of picking a café or a new park, the Tesla confidently rolled up outside… a gym. The moment was captured by his wife, Hailee, who burst out laughing alongside Jenkins as they realised where the car was headed.
The video, originally shared on Instagram, quickly spread across platforms. When it hit X, even Musk responded with a laughing emoji, clearly amused by the unexpected result.
Others also shared their reactions to the video. A user wrote, “Tesla felt that pressure on the seat and calculated that it was time for the gym.”
Another user commented, “Imagine being roasted by your own vehicle. Technology’s wild.”
A third person said, “I didn’t know it could do this.’ Many other users commented that they had anticipated it would be a gym.
While the Internet had a good laugh over the video, it also highlighted the growing – yet still limited – abilities of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving system. Despite its high-tech name, FSD is actually categorised as Level 2 automation, meaning it can handle tasks like steering, braking, and accelerating, but the driver must remain alert and ready to take control at any time.
