This skin of the Tesla Model 3 in the Game For Peace is the maxed-out version of the vehicle and the player has to start with a basic Model 3 or a Model X in a solid color, as the level raises new skins and upgrades become available (known as ‘Tesla Crates’, demo video below).
Reportedly, these skins are developed in collaboration with the Chinese technology company Tencent, which actually holds a sizeable chunk in TSLA shares as well.
