In a surprising turn of events, Elon Musk’s electric car company Tesla has made its way into the popular battle royal game of PUBG Mobile. The collaboration between the two has given rise to a ton of new Tesla-related content in the game for the players to enjoy. 

In the new 1.5 updates, released on both Android and iOS devices, PUBG Mobile added a new specialized game mode called Mission Ignition in the Erangel map(Evo ground). With the new update, players will now be able to roam around Tesla’s iconic Gigafactory in Erangel and build their own Tesla Model Y using the production line. All players have to do is flip three power switches spread throughout the factory to start the process; players will be able to see their cars get made, and they will also get an airdrop at the end. 

Like its real-life counterpart, the Tesla Model Y has an auto-pilot option in the game that can take players to any destination point set on the map using the highways and roads. This feature is convenient for solo players; they can now use the Model Y’s autonomous feature to move around the map while shooting enemies from the passenger seat. On the other hand, the Tesla semi-trucks auto-pilot mode is limited to certain roads and locations. 

The Tesla semi moves on a fixed path in auto-pilot mode, carrying loot boxes much like the armored truck in the Sanhok; the loot boxes fall off depending on how much damage is dealt with the semi. Apart from these, players can also drive the Tesla cybertruck, Roadster, and anti-gravity bikes that look like something out of Star Wars.
