Alright, let’s dive into the 2026 Model Y Performance like we’re kicking back with a smoothie, not poring over a spec sheet. A prototype of Tesla’s souped-up electric SUV was spotted cruising around, no camouflage in sight, and it’s clear this thing’s ready to turn heads. Borrowing tricks from the Model 3 Performance, this Model Y is shaping up to be a wickedly fast, sharp-looking ride that still handles your daily errands like a champ.
Tesla has just unveiled a refreshed version of both the Model S and Model X in the U.S., bringing a suite of understated but meaningful updates that aim to keep them competitive in an increasingly crowded EV landscape.
Japan’s T-Demand has taken Tesla’s Model 3 and Model Y—already sharp, clean EVs—and cranked them into head-turning showstoppers that refuse to blend in. Forget the usual Teslas silently zipping through quiet suburbs; these beasts rock custom air suspension, oversized wheels, and a brazen stance that injects a rebellious streak into Tesla’s minimalist vibe.
The Tesla Cybertruck, with its jagged edges and futuristic vibe, took a hit to its reputation when its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system flubbed a parking job, smacking into a coworker’s sedan, as shared by owner JayPresto. Eager to flaunt FSD’s skills, JayPresto set the Cybertruck to cruise a street, loop back, and park itself in a lot, but the system—branded “Full Self-Driving (Supervised)”—miscalculated, veering awkwardly and failing to nail the tight turn needed.

Back at the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show, the GAC Pickup 01 rolled onto the stage like a futuristic slab of sci-fi steel, and now it’s no longer just a concept—it’s headed for production in 2027. This isn’t another China-only special either; GAC’s got big plans to send this beast global, eyeing markets like Australia, Saudi Arabia, Chile, Mexico, and beyond where the brand’s already digging in its heels.
