Tesla car takes owner to 'never been before' location: ‘Roasted by own vehicle'; viral video leaves Internet in splits
A video featuring Tesla car is doing rounds on social media that shows the owner Zach Jenkins issuing a command to the vehicle after turning on his car's Full Self-Driving (FSD) mode. The amusing response that the car produced in return left netizens in stitches.
To test the voice command, the owner said, 'Tesla take me somewhere I've never been before.' Internet users were left in splits after the car escorted the owner to the unexpected destination - the gym. The caption to the post states, 'This car thinks it's funny.' Tesla confidently drove the couple to a gym named 'Planet Fitness.'
Zach Jenkins wife, Hailee, who recorded the video can be heard guessing the location to be a fancy restaurant but to her surprise it was not a café or a new park, instead a place to shed kilos. Over Tesla's whimsical move, Hailee burst into laughter alongside Jenkins upon realising where the car had brought them.
The video shared over four days ago on Instagram has amassed more than 19 lakh likes and several comments. A user stated, 'I thought it would go to the gym.' Another user joked, 'Tesla felt that pressure on the seat and calculated that it was time for the gym.' A third user quipped, 'Everyone knew it was going to the gym button.'
A fifth user remarked, 'I knew it was gonna go to the gym.' A sixth user chimed, 'I knew yall were headed there before u left the house!' A seventh user commented, 'Imagine being roasted by your own vehicle. Technology's wild.'
Tesla's Full Self-Driving system is an advanced driver assistance system that makes the vehicle run on autopilot mode, enhancing safety and convenience behind the wheel. This mode, incorporated in all new Tesla vehicles, reduces the driver's overall workload using camera-based Tesla Vision to deliver Autopilot features, rather than radar.
FSD is categorised as Level 2 automation which implies that the vehicle can handle tasks like steering, braking, and accelerating, but the driver has to remain vigilant and ready to take control at any time. Autosteer: It uses traffic-aware cruise control and rolls the vehicle within a clearly marked lane.

Aaron Rodgers' finger bling reignites old flames as his ex-girlfriend Mallory Edens' cryptic post deepens mystery
Aaron Rodgers ignited marriage rumors after sporting a ring at an event (Getty Images) In a twist that has fans and media outlets speculating wildly, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is once again making headlines — not for a game-winning throw, but for a ring. The NFL icon sparked marriage rumors after showing up to the prestigious Barnstable Brown Gala wearing a dark band on his left ring finger, raising eyebrows and setting off a flurry of whispers: Has Rodgers secretly tied the knot? Aaron Rodgers sparks intrigue with a ring and a cryptic relationship update Aaron Rodgers, who recently signed with the Steelers, has been famously private about his personal life. But during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, he offered a rare glimpse into his romantic world, saying, 'I'm 41 years old, I'm in a serious relationship. I have off-the-field stuff going on that requires my attention.' He also confirmed he's dating a woman named Brittani, describing it as 'a different phase of my life. ' Still, the ring has stirred speculation. Even his longtime friend and co-host A.J. Hawk confessed on air that he had 'no update from this situation,' suggesting Rodgers is keeping everyone — including his inner circle — in the dark. Interestingly, Rodgers made sure the ring was visible in his official signing photos with the Steelers, further fueling theories that it might be more than just a fashion statement. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Concentrated Siberian Ginseng Extract 2oz Superior Ginseng Undo Mallory Edens steps back into the spotlight with purpose and power Amid the renewed attention on Rodgers, his ex-girlfriend Mallory Edens has found herself trending again. The model, activist, and daughter of Milwaukee Bucks owner Wes Edens was briefly linked to Rodgers in 2023. Their relationship was described as 'more than friends, but it's casual... low-key for now,' and ended quietly last year when Rodgers confirmed his relationship with Brittani. Edens has since turned her focus to social activism and entrepreneurship, founding Little Ray Media and launching gender-equity campaigns. She recently shared a powerful Instagram post critiquing the double standards women face, particularly in the public eye. 'Like all misogyny, it's language designed to limit a woman's power,' she wrote, sparking discussions about sexism and the scrutiny placed on women over 35.

Whether Rodgers' ring signifies a secret marriage or is just another example of his cryptic public persona, it's clear he knows how to dominate headlines without saying a word. Meanwhile, Edens' confident re-entry into public discourse suggests her narrative is now entirely her own. The quiet interplay between their separate paths — one defined by mystery, the other by purpose — is a story fans will be watching closely.

Musk's spat with President Trump sparks fresh troubles for Tesla
Elon Musk's bitter falling-out with United States (US) President Donald Trump could be costly for Tesla. As long as he is persona non grata in the Trump administration, Musk, the chief executive of Tesla, will struggle to persuade Republicans not to gut climate policies worth billions of dollars to the electric car and battery company. Musk may also lose sway over federal regulators who could make or break his plans to deploy driverless taxis, which he has described as the future of the company. Tesla is already suffering steep declines in sales and profit. Its share price plummeted 14 per cent on Thursday, its biggest one-day decline, after Musk and Trump began insulting each other on social media. The stock recovered somewhat Friday, rising nearly 4 per cent, perhaps on hopes that the men would reach a truce or because investors thought the stock was now a bargain. There was always a disconnect between Musk and his Republican allies on electric cars. The domestic policy bill passed by House Republicans and being considered by the Senate will hurt the electric car market in the US, where Tesla is the largest manufacturer by far. The bill would eliminate tax credits of up to $7,500 for people who buy electric cars. It would quickly phase out subsidies for battery factories and lithium refineries, and end financial support for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The bill also imposes an annual fee of $250 on EV owners. Those measures would hurt all carmakers that sell EVs. But the Trump administration is also trying to kill regulations that are especially beneficial to Tesla, which allow it to sell clean air credits to other firms that fail to meet environmental standards. During the first three months of the year, Tesla sold regulatory credits worth $595 million, which was more than the company's net profit of $409 million. In other words, without the credits, Tesla would have lost money. 'In many years, it's the difference between being in the black and being in the red for Tesla,' said Jesse Jenkins, an assistant professor at Princeton University who studies the EV industry. He has calculated that the Republican measures would result in sales of 7.7 million fewer electric vehicles by 2030 than would be the case if the Biden administration policies remained in place. Republican legislation would also eliminate programs that subsidise the cost of large battery storage projects, which has been a growth business for Tesla. Turbulent times - New domestic policy Bill to eliminate tax credits for people who buy EVs, and impose an annual fee of $250 - Will also phase out subsidies for battery factories and lithium refineries, and end financial support for EV charging stations - Trump admin also trying to kill regulations especially beneficial for Tesla - Those rules allow firm to sell clean air credits to other car makers that fail to meet environmental standards
