The GAC Pickup 01 concept, shown at the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show, clearly takes some ideas from the Tesla Cybertruck with its sharp, futuristic look, but it’s not just a copy. Both have bold lines, simple surfaces, and a sci-fi feel, but the GAC has slightly softer curves and unique touches, like split-level headlights and a less steep wedge shape.
Yes, it’s true that Tesla is building a special factory for its Tesla Semi, an all-electric Class 8 truck. The factory is going up near Giga Nevada in Sparks, Nevada, right next to Tesla’s current Gigafactory. This strategic spot uses the setup and resources Tesla already has for making batteries and vehicles.
Can a Tesla Cybertruck beat a 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera T in a drag race? That is the burning question that Mat Watson of CarWow wanted to answer, so he pit both vehicles against each other at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground in Leicestershire, UK. This former airfield, now a privately owned vehicle test track, is well-known for its long runway, which is perfect for drag racing and other automotive testing.
Here’s a first look at Hyundai Pleos Connect, the company’s next-generation infotainment system that was built on the Android Automotive Operating System (AAOS). This is a big shift for Hyundai, moving away from their previous in-house setups to leverage Android’s open and scalable ecosystem.
Kyle Paul was inspired by Mark Rober’s viral video, where a self-driving Tesla famously plowed into a fake wall, to recreate the stunt. Unlike the former NASA engineer, he decides to perform the test using both a Model Y with Hardware 3 (HW3) as well as a Hardware 4 (HW4) Cybertruck.
Space Campers unveils ‘The Cap’ for the Tesla Cybertruck, which essentially transforms it into a mini home on wheels. However, don’t expect all of the luxuries you’d find in a camper van, as this accessory only adds 40 inches (101 cm) from the bed floor.
Former NASA engineer Mark Rober wanted to see how Tesla’s self-driving system stacks up against its LiDAR counterpart by using a Wile E. Coyote-style fake wall. On the road, Full Self-Driving (FSD) can recognize and responds to traffic lights as well as stop signs, but this obstacle is an entirely different story, as it has been clothed with fake scenery.

If the refreshed 2026 Tesla Model S follows in the footsteps of the just launched 2026 Tesla Model Y, we can expect new front and rear LED light bars. For those wondering, this would mark the third refresh since it launched in 2012, with the last one being in 2022.
You’ve seen the Pugnator, now check out the MANSORY Elongation, a unique Tesla Cybertruck customization program that gives the electric pickup truck a carbon fiber body kit and two rear wings. Its 26-inch “FD.15” wheels are made from a special aluminum alloy designed for both the high performance and the high wheel loads of the “MANSORY Elongation”.
