When Zach Jenkins asked his Tesla to “take me somewhere I’ve never been,” he probably imagined discovering a new café or maybe a scenic overlook. What he didn’t expect was to end up outside a gym—courtesy of his car’s Artificial Intelligence. Yes, that gym. The one he’s been successfully avoiding, until now.
The viral moment unfolded when Jenkins decided to test Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) feature with a playful voice command. The car, in full futuristic flair, processed the instruction and steered itself with cool confidence—straight to the local fitness center.
The scene, captured by his wife Hailee and shared on Instagram, shows the couple’s growing disbelief morphing into laughter as the electric car rolls to a stop outside a gym. “Somewhere I’ve never been,” Zach repeats, before bursting into laughter. The gym, apparently, was uncharted territory for the AI... and possibly for Zach, too.
Elon Musk Reacts with Humor
It didn’t take long for the video to catch fire across social platforms. When it reached X (formerly Twitter), Tesla CEO Elon Musk responded with a laughing emoji—sealing the moment’s place in Tesla meme history. Musk, known for his unpredictable online persona and sense of humor, clearly appreciated the car’s not-so-subtle health suggestion.
The Myth of Full Autonomy
While the joke landed well with the internet, the clip also brings attention to the evolving but still limited capabilities of Tesla's FSD system. Despite its futuristic name, Full Self-Driving is classified as Level 2 automation. This means it can assist with steering, braking, and acceleration but still requires the human driver to be fully attentive and ready to intervene.
Zach’s lighthearted experiment is a reminder that Tesla’s AI can follow instructions—but sometimes it takes them a little too literally.
The Unexpected Destination We All Need?
In a world obsessed with algorithms knowing us better than we know ourselves, perhaps Zach’s Tesla was onto something. Maybe the AI wasn't mocking him—maybe it was giving him a gentle nudge toward better choices. Either way, the internet can’t get enough of the irony, and Musk’s chuckle only fueled the buzz.
And who knows? Next time you ask a Tesla to surprise you, make sure your sneakers are in the trunk—just in case.
