As always, the American EV manufacturer Tesla is busy keeping the headlines. Not with the latest quirky ideas from Elon Musk because he's busy playing with his Twitter (or is it an 'X-rated') toy, luckily.
Instead, folks are discussing every quarterly report (Q3 was less significant than analysts anticipated but still stellar for a former startup), as well as the latest models that are hot and trendy – like the Tesla Semi, Cybertruck, or Model Y. Sometimes, the company doesn't even have to do anything for others to talk about them.
For instance, when Mercedes-Benz revealed their new eActros 600 EV semi-truck, everyone thought this model was aimed at the Tesla Semi, although they're continents apart. Or, like when iPhone 15-series owners found the most appropriate use for the new action button – remote-controlling various systems of their Teslas, that is.
Also, while Tesla is busy teaching the Cybertruck to act tough during off-road tests in Baja, Americans north of the border were busy wondering if the full-size EV pickup truck is as reliable as it looks tough after a unit was seen broken and abandoned in the middle of I-580 in Richmond. Anyway, truth be told, everyone should be talking more about the cheaper Model Y RWD they just launched and how other automakers need to follow suit or simply abandon the idea of bringing other EVs to North America – like BMW did with its new iX2.
Additionally, amid all the Tesla commotion, I personally feel that the entry point into the company's EV range, the Model 3, is feeling a bit left out of the party. Previously, it was the best-selling vehicle; now, it's just a partner for the Model Y superstar. Well, that would quickly change if only the imaginative realm of digital car content creators had their way.
Just recently, Sugar Chow, the virtual artist better known as sugardesign_1 on social media, has noticed that Tesla's Model 3 isn't getting a lot of love these days anymore and decided to do something about it. As such, he envisioned a potential Tesla Model 3 'GT' as an "intermediate option between (a station) wagon and hatchback" for family users. It wasn't meant to be the promised, cheaper Model 2 – just a "grand hatchback with the storage of a wagon (that also) keeps the sexiness of a coupe as well."
Thus, we were not surprised by the pixel master's choice of colors – a deep orange plus a Red Flame specification for the Tesla Model 3 'Grand Tour.' However, now he's back with something more inconspicuous that acts as a hideaway for some genuinely mind-blowing specifications – he dressed the Tesla Model 3 GT in silver and black with bronze-like wheels and then called it a 'Super GT!'
Why is that? Well, the author decided his vision also needed to run circles around the Tesla Model S and X Plaids because it could swap the Model 3 powertrain for the three-motor setup found in the elusive second-generation Tesla Roadster! That would be an exciting sight to behold, right? Especially since it doesn't stray away from the normal Model 3 GT save for the different wheels and a couple of aerodynamic aids – winglets and a lovely roof spoiler! That would be an EV hoot, clearly.
