Reserving a Tesla Roadster via Grok Bot: $5,000 deposit wired through X Money
chaitu · x · 2026-10-17
User @cstanley demonstrates a notably agentic flow: reserving a Tesla Roadster directly through the Grok Bot on X, paying the $5,000 deposit via a wire through X Money. Screenshots show a "Buying Bot" chat confirming "Thank You for Your Reservation" with the deposit sent to Tesla — if genuine, a rare public example of a conversational agent completing a real purchase end-to-end with in-platform payments.
