Espresso on autopilot: Elon Musk cheers Tesla owner brewing coffee while car drives itself

In what looks like a scene straight out of a sci-fi movie, a Tesla owner recently took multitasking to a whole new level—by brewing a fresh cup of espresso while his car chauffeured him to the beach, all thanks to Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology.

The video, posted on X by user Lucapasturini, begins with the man casually explaining, “Sometimes I forget that I have a Tesla that can drive itself. I’m really in a hurry to go to the beach like every other day. I don’t have time. So what am I going to do? I’m just going to let my espresso machine make some good Italian.”

With a playlist humming in the background and the coffee machine working its magic in the passenger seat, he signs off with an enthusiastic, “Thank you, Elon. Thank you, Tesla.” The clip was not only a viral sensation among netizens but also managed to get the attention of the tech mogul himself.

Elon Musk Responds with Caffeine-Infused Praise

Tesla CEO Elon Musk took to X to share his amusement, reposting the video with the caption, “This is so cool. Make your espresso on the road while your Tesla drives itself.” His light-hearted endorsement instantly fueled online excitement, with fans and critics alike chiming in on the possibilities—and responsibilities—of autonomous driving.

Technology That Moves... and Brews

Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system is a cutting-edge driver-assistance feature capable of navigating roads with minimal input. But despite the impressive automation, Tesla continues to advise drivers to remain alert and prepared to take over the wheel at any moment.

This caffeinated joyride has ignited both admiration and debate, spotlighting the evolving landscape of driverless technology. While some hail it as a glimpse into a relaxed, hands-free future, others raise eyebrows over safety and overreliance on AI. Still, for now, it seems Tesla has made one espresso-loving driver’s beach commute smoother—and far more flavorful.
