In a world where self-driving cars are becoming more common, one Tesla owner 's lighthearted experiment took an unexpected turn, and it’s now making the internet laugh.
Trying out Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) feature, the man expected his car to pick a random destination for a fun little ride. But instead of somewhere new or exciting, the car chose a familiar spot: the gym. The unexpected detour had both him and his wife laughing, and the video of the moment quickly went viral. Even Tesla CEO Elon Musk couldn’t resist reacting to the clip, adding to the fun online.
Zach Jenkins, a Tesla owner from the U.S., decided to test his car’s Full Self-Driving feature by asking it to “take me somewhere I’ve never been before.” Expecting the car to pick out a new restaurant or perhaps a scenic spot, Jenkins was instead dropped off at a local gym. The entire situation was captured in a video by his wife, Hailee, and shared on social media. What began as a simple test turned into an amusing, unexpected adventure.
As the video spread across social media platforms, it didn’t take long for Elon Musk to notice it. The Tesla CEO, known for his active social media presence, shared a laughing emoji in response to the video. Musk’s lighthearted reaction only fueled the viral nature of the moment, and the clip became a favourite among Tesla fans and casual viewers alike.
While the video gave everyone a good laugh, it also highlights where Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) tech currently stands. Despite the name, the system isn’t fully autonomous just yet. It’s considered Level 2 driver assistance, meaning it can steer, brake, and accelerate on its own– but the driver still needs to stay alert and be ready to take over at any time.
In Jenkins’ case, the car took his request for “somewhere new” a bit too literally, choosing a gym instead of a nice spot to eat. His experience adds to a growing list of quirky FSD moments shared by Tesla users over the years. While these stories are often fun, they also point out that the technology, while impressive, still has some way to go.
