Tesla Cybertruck inspires Razer on the ultimate ‘CyberBlade’ gaming laptop
Tesla CEO Elon Musk and the company’s latest all-electric Cybertruck has inspired gaming lifestyle brand Razer to imagine a “Cyberblade” gaming laptop that’s inspired by the vehicle. The concept’s design features references to the Cybertruck, from its cold silver finish to its sharp, angular edges, and front-facing LED lightbar.
Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan’s idea was one of many concepts conceived after the unveiling of the Cybertruck. While the design of the upcoming electric pickup truck was perceived as polarizing at first, technology geeks and autophiles have quickly changed their tune from one of confusion to appreciation for the feature-rich Blade Runner-esque electric monster.

While Musk has not responded yet to Tan’s tweets, the idea of the Singaporean lawyer-turned-entrepreneur has caught the attention of the Twitterverse, with many members of the social media platform and the Tesla community supporting the concept. The Razer CEO also mentioned to Musk via Twitter his wish to have a customized Cybertruck sporting the color of the gaming laptop brand.
The Razer CEO’s gaming references run parallel to that of Elon Musk’s goals for Tesla’s vehicles, which is to make them the ultimate instruments of fun. This is one of the reasons why Tesla’s electric cars are some of the only cars in the auto market that are equipped with a healthy set of entertainment-focused features.
These include the Tesla Arcade, which includes titles such as Cuphead and Beach Buggy Racing 2, as well as classic Atari games like Missile Command and Lunar Lander. With the rollout of the company’s V10 software, Tesla also introduced a number of new fun features such as Netflix and YouTube streaming, as well as features like Caraoke.

Tesla promises its Cybertruck to have “better utility than a truck with more performance than a sports car.” The electric pickup truck will sport an exoskeleton crafted from ultra-hard 30x cold-rolled stainless-steel and ultra-strong Tesla armor glass. Musk also confirmed that the Cybertruck will have a flip stop that will enable owners to carry long cargo.

The entry-level Cybertruck with a price tag of $39,900 can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in less than 6.5 seconds and boasts of a towing capacity of more than 7,500 lbs., Autopilot and adaptive air suspension will come as standard. The vehicle will also feature a top-tier variant that has a 0-60 mph time of 2.9 seconds, faster than many high-performance cars on the market.

Tesla unlocks in-car web conferencing to extend Google Meet, Teams and beyond
Tesla’s Summer Update lets owners join Google Meet, Teams, and Discord calls via cabin camera.
Tesla’s 2026 Summer Update, which just began rolling out to customer vehicles, now links the built-in web browser with the in-cabin camera feed and microphone input, thereby letting owners join video calls on nearly any browser-based service instead of just Zoom.
The change appears in Tesla’s own release notes for software version 2026.26 under “Web Browser,” which states that the vehicle can now use its interior camera and cabin microphone when a website requests access, with permission granted the same way a desktop browser handles it. As NotATeslaApp notes, this feature opens the door to Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Discord, and other webcam-enabled sites to activate the in-car cabin-facing camera. The feed automatically crops and zooms to center the driver in frame.
Tesla has offered in-car video calling before, but only through a dedicated Zoom app that launched at the end of 2022, a stripped-down browser preloaded with Zoom’s own web client and gated behind Premium Connectivity. Opening the full browser to any camera-requesting site removes that walled garden. Elon Musk first called video conferencing “definitely a future feature” back in 2020, when the pandemic pushed remote meetings into daily life, so this update effectively finishes something Tesla has been promising for six years.
Tesla Summer Update begins rolling out: a look at the new features
The feature keeps the same restrictions that applied to Zoom on Tesla vehicles. It only works while the car is parked; shifting into Drive disables the camera feed, according to the release notes. It is also limited to vehicles running Tesla’s AMD Ryzen infotainment hardware, meaning older Intel-based Model S and Model X units, along with early Model 3 and Model Y builds, don’t get it.
Turning the browser into a general entry point for the in-cabin camera, rather than routing everything through one local app, widens the number of third-party sites that can ask for access, even though Tesla’s permission prompt.
With the Summer update only days into its rollout, be sure to stay with us on TikTok and X to see the latest video demonstrations.

Elon Musk escalated his monthslong feud with Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey this week, pledging that his own AI video tool will produce a competing version before the year is out. Responding to a fan-made, AI-generated clip of the ancient epic, Musk wrote on X, “Before this year ends, Grok Imagine will make a full-length movie of The Odyssey that is historically accurate and true to the art of Homer.”
In June, Musk quoted an xAI-shared trailer built entirely with Grok Imagine Video 1.5, a two-minute-plus reimagining of The Odyssey styled after a 1970s classical Hollywood epic, and predicted “full movies by the end of the year,” as Teslarati reported at the time. That trailer, built from 36 consistent shots by a single creator, was Musk’s proof of concept. This week’s pledge turns that prediction into a specific commitment, tied directly to Homer’s text rather than a generic demo.

When a fan separately proposed that Musk fund a live-action alternative, to “give Mel Gibson $100 million to film an Odyssey adaptation with painstakingly historically accurate ships, armour, weapons, and casting, with all dialogue taken straight from the original poem and delivered in Homeric Greek,” Musk replied with two words: “I’m down.”
The Grok Imagine pledge lands as the tool’s underlying infrastructure has changed hands. Grok is no longer a standalone product, it folded into SpaceXAI after SpaceX’s acquisition of xAI closed in February, meaning the compute behind any Odyssey production traces back to the same Colossus supercomputers now bundled into SpaceX’s pitch to investors. Musk has separately said SpaceX’s own engineering data is being fed into the next major Grok training run, a two trillion parameter model he’s called the “2T run.”
Whether Grok Imagine can sustain a feature length narrative, rather than a series of impressive individual shots, remains the open question.

Tesla Mobile App gets a new feature that wrap fans are going to love
Tesla’s Summer Update removes the USB drive step from customizing your car’s digital wrap design.
Tesla’s latest 2026 Summer Update quietly closes out one of the more tedious steps in personalizing a Tesla’s digital appearance. Uploading a custom wrap design used to require a USB drive. Now it doesn’t.
The feature is listed in Tesla’s release notes as “Send Custom Wraps from Mobile App.” The company described it plainly: “Skip the USB drive and upload a custom wrap of your car from the mobile app. Instructions for creating a custom wrap here: github.com/teslamotors/custom-wraps.”
The digital wrap tool has been around since Tesla’s 2024 Holiday Update, when it launched for Cybertruck owners first, as Teslarati reported at the time. Getting a design onto the car meant formatting a USB drive, creating a folder named exactly “Wraps,” dropping in PNG files sized between 512×512 and 1024×1024 pixels and under 1 MB each, then plugging the drive in and applying the wrap through Toybox. Tesla expanded the tool to other models and renamed it from “Colorizer” to “Paint Shop” with the 2025 Holiday Update, while also adding license plate and window tint customization alongside the wraps.

The latest Summer Update removes the USB step from that process. Owners will be able to pull a design from wherever they saved it, whether that’s a download from social media or something built from Tesla’s own GitHub templates, and push it to the car directly through the app.

It’s a small fix relative to the rest of this latest release, which also included expanded Grok voice commands, automatic navigation that learns regular routes, and self-driving stats inside the mobile app, all detailed in our rundown of the full Summer Update. The USB requirement was one of the more common complaints about Paint Shop since it launched. Tesla did not say when the wrap upload change would reach individual vehicles, only that the broader update is rolling out now in waves.
