Tesla

Gran Turismo will be sponsoring a rather unusual race car this summer, as renowned drifter Daijiro “Dai” Yoshihara takes on one of the most famous point-to-point races in the world: Pikes Peak.

Forget what you may or may not have heard of Tesla’s recent electric pickup truck promises. One Model 3 owner has already beat the Californian company to the punch, transforming it into what you see above: the Truckla.

After months of teasers and rumors, the Tesla Model Y is here. Launched at an event at the company’s Los Angles design studio, it’s Tesla’s take on the compact SUV craze.

After nearly two years of wait, buyers can now place their order for the $35,000 Tesla Model 3. Yet just like when it was first announced back in July 2017, it’s still not as it seems.

When it comes to sim racing wheels, you’re presented with a ton of options. Now there’s a new wheel out but there’s a bit of a caveat… It only works for one game and you need to own a Tesla to get it.

Elon Musk does some fairly outlandish things. From nuclear blast-proof truck windows to Plaid Mode on the new Roadster, nothing is really off limits. But Musk’s latest idea has us all asking, “is he really going to send a car into space?”

There’s a calm in the air at the moment as there’s yet another motor show around the corner. The Los Angeles Auto Show will throw open its doors in two weeks, and we can expect a slew of new models and production-ready concepts.

Every week we read loads of automotive news stories here at GTPlanet that we can’t fit into their own articles. In a new feature, we’ll be bringing you a quick round-up of things we might have otherwise missed.

While other manufacturers are turning to electrification in droves, the brand that started it all off in earnest was Tesla. It’s still the only name most people think of when you say “electric car”, and we’ve had the chance to test out a couple of examples.

We now fully know the price of the Tesla Model 3. True to his word, Elon Musk kept the long rumored $35,000 price. But the question is, will buyers actually want a basic Model 3?

Elon Musk has taken to Twitter to confirm that the Tesla Model 3 is finally on its way.

UPDATE: Stefano Casillo of Kunos Simulazioni debunked the rumors of this car’s inclusion in Assetto Corsa (at least in an official capacity) on Twitter. In response to the trailer, Casillo said “we have no involvement in this at this stage. No idea about what they mean about the console thing.” The original article remains below. Thanks to GTPlanet member Wiz for pointing this out.
