You know how we all joke about AI one day turning on us?
For Tesla owner Zach Jenkins, that moment came sooner than expected and it was hilarious.
In a now-viral video that’s racked up over 2.1 million likes on Instagram, Zach decided to test out his car’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) mode. Sitting comfortably next to his wife Hailee, he gave the car a playful voice command:
“Tesla, take me somewhere I’ve never been before.”
Hailee, who was filming the moment, guessed they were headed to a fancy restaurant. Maybe a hidden park. Something scenic. Romantic even.
But the car had a different plan.
Moments later, the screen showed the destination: Planet Fitness.
Yep—a gym.
The couple burst out laughing. And so did the entire internet. One commenter joked, “Tesla read the pressure on the seat and calculated it was time to work out.”
Another quipped, “The car judged your body before reading the map.”
A third chimed in, “Imagine getting roasted by your own vehicle.”
It gets better. Even Elon Musk joined in on the fun.
After the video made it to X (formerly Twitter), Musk dropped a laughing emoji, giving the car’s brutally honest choice the official Tesla seal of approval.
I get that Tesla’s Full Self-Driving system isn’t designed to make decisions based on body type (at least, not yet). It’s a Level 2 driver-assistance system that uses Tesla Vision—a camera-based setup that allows the car to steer, accelerate, and brake on its own.
But drivers must stay alert and ready to take control at any moment.
Still, the coincidence was too good. Zach asked for a surprise, and the car didn’t just deliver a destination, this Tesla delivered a punchline. One that resonated with anyone who’s ever told themselves, “I’ll start working out next week.”
“We want smart AI,” one user wrote. “Until it becomes brutally honest.”
As strange as it is, it was a perfect moment of modern-day comedy, courtesy of AI, timing, and a very gutsy Tesla.
So, if you’re feeling brave and have a Tesla with FSD, try saying one of these:
“Take me somewhere I’ve never been before.”
“Tesla, take me where my ex can’t find me.”
“Tesla, take me where I’ll finally find peace.”
Just don’t be surprised with your car replies.
