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.

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.
