“Smooth Tesla smooth” — Netizens LOL as Tesla AI claims it drives with eyes and a brain

Tesla has become one of America’s favorite car brands, thanks to its innovative EV technology, featuring autopilot, over-the-air updates, and sustainable, eco-friendly advancements. That’s not all, its owner is the same man launching the coolest rockets into space and the meme lord of X (formerly Twitter). However, some people continue to question the reliability of Tesla’s AI, and it seems Tesla AI itself has just publicly addressed their doubts.

Tesla AI recently took to their X account to address concerns about their reliability, posting:

"You drive with eyes and a brain, not a suite of sensors. Our cars do the same."

The post left users both entertained and impressed, earning praise for its witty and confident response.

Hilarious internet reactions

The post left X users quite amused, prompting them to flood Tesla AI's comments section with hilarious reactions.

"Smooth Tesla smooth," a user said.

Many users were impressed by Tesla AI's post, with one calling it smooth. As smooth as a Tesla car’s sensors, as many would say!

"Trying to gaslight us, like it wasn’t a cost cutting decision?? Why tho," wondered another.

Uh-oh, it looks like this user isn't all that impressed with Tesla, alleging that the company is gaslighting customers by cutting costs with sensors instead of investing in the more advanced Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology.

Tesla AI may have sold itself short by claiming it has eyes like ours, as this user points out, when it actually has eight eyes — just like a spider!

"Awful analogy…. There’s 6 million car crashes a year with eyes and brains," a user wrote.

Quite the observation from a user — pointing out that Tesla AI’s analogy of driving with eyes and a brain, just like humans, might not be the best one, considering humans are involved in six million car crashes globally each year. Ouch!

"The fact that my Tesla can *SEE* a deer in thick fog at night on a lone county road before I can, is all you need to know," commented another.

It seems this user has a fitting reply for Tesla’s critics, as his car detected a deer on the road amidst thick fog at night, something even he couldn’t see. What a save!

Tesla AI sure left fans both impressed and amused with their post, making people want a Tesla even more and leaving existing owners beaming with pride. Talk about one move to rule them all!
