A 2004 Toyota Prius, reborn as a Tesla Cybertruck-inspired police car spoof called the “Cybercop,” fetched $4,550 at a charity auction on eBay, with all proceeds going to support families of fallen officers. Crafted by Johnny Lange, a Utah gearhead who hauls specialty vehicles for a living, this wild creation is half bonkers, half brilliant—a rolling testament to DIY grit and car-world humor.
On June 27, 2025, a Tesla Model Y cruised straight out of Gigafactory Texas, weaved through highways and neighborhood streets, and pulled up to a customer’s driveway without anyone touching the wheel. Elon Musk, Tesla’s big-dreaming CEO, couldn’t hold back his excitement: “We just nailed the first fully autonomous delivery of a Model Y from factory to doorstep, across town, highways and all—a day early!”
Sunlight bounces off a Tesla Model Y rolling through Austin’s streets, or a robotaxi to be exact. Inside, a leaked interface spills the beans on Tesla’s bold robotaxi platform, a setup aimed at flipping urban travel on its head. Snapped at a traffic light, this developer UI teases a driverless future where passengers chill with a car that calls the shots.
A Tesla Model Y hums along under the control of Full Self-Driving (FSD) software on an Austin street, where a school bus sits parked, its red lights flashing, stop signs extended like a warning hand. Nearby, a child-sized mannequin darts across the road, but this is actually a staged safety test by activists from The Dawn Project and Tesla Takedown, determined to expose cracks in Tesla’s semi-autonomous tech.

Tesla’s Model S is gearing up for a 2026 refresh that’s been turning heads on public roads. Spotted recently in a striking new blue hue, this facelifted sedan blends subtle refinements with bold updates.
Austin, Texas, has become the stage for Tesla’s journey toward autonomous driving. Two Model Y vehicles, marked with “Robotaxi” decals, were recently captured navigating the city’s streets without drivers, signaling that Tesla’s long-anticipated robotaxi program is shifting into gear.
Japan’s car culture thrives on bold statements, and T-Demand, a tuner with a knack for turning heads, has taken Tesla’s Model 3 and Model Y into uncharted territory. These electric vehicles, typically seen as sleek, minimalist machines, now embody the rebellious spirit of Bosozoku—a Japanese subculture known for its extravagant, in-your-face car modifications. With air suspension, aggressive wheel alignments, and a stance that skims the pavement, these Teslas are as much a cultural flex as they are a feat of engineering.
Heavy machinery doesn’t usually spark excitement, but Lumina’s ML6 Moonlander, a 32-ton all-electric bulldozer unveiled earlier this month, is here to change that. This San Francisco startup’s beast, dubbed the Tesla of heavy equipment, swaps diesel’s roar for quiet, high-tech muscle that’s ready to reshape construction sites.
