i like bubbles also!

I've had a thought... So every teaser we've had, allegedly except for one, has been for a prop or something of the sort. So why is that Grand Marshall "Limo" all by it's lonesome? Well perhaps we've all been wrong. It's not a limo, rather a normal Grand Marshall that was subjected to the centrifugal thingymobober!

On a marginally more serious note, I added the bubbles to my log:

By popular demand...

Color coding:
Green means we can be reasonably certain of it in the next update
Orange means we can expect it in near future and potentially the next update
Red means it's either confirmed to not be coming in the near future whatsoever or in development limbo

Past teaser logs for reference:
0.36
0.35
0.34
0.33
0.32
0.31
0.30
0.29
0.28
0.27

Updated 2025/08/29, new items in bold.

Release date: The Fall update historically lands between, well... In the last 5 years we've had one on September 18th (2024), 19th (2022), and 20th (2023) with 2 years skipping it (2020 and 2021)

Vehicle content:

New car: We might get a car in mid 2026

Might be related to a discarded name "Capybara? Unclear if this refers to a vehicle we are getting in the future, a scrapped concept vehicle, or a vehicle that we have since got. Also not sure why Stenyak had to specify it's not an Ibishu Capybara

More simplified traffic vehicles: The Hopper and smaller MD-series version(s) may get simplified traffic versions.

Simplified police cars: These were experimented with and deemed not feasible'

Limo: There's some interesting textures in a common folder named "limo". They seem appropriate for a 1980's/1990's vehicle.

Grand Marshall refresh: It was remastered but not to the same scope that current remasters cover, so sooner or later the team should be returning to this one. It's worth noting that the GM has been getting improvements and content in recent updates, but still needs some texture work

The August 19th Teaser Tuesday showed what seems to be a stretched Grand Marshall. Refer to the aforementioned limo textures. Though that doesn't explain why those are in the common folder.

Other remasters: The following vehicles have yet to be fully remastered and have not been mentioned above: ETK I-Series, Gavril Barstow, Bruckell Moonhawk, Ibishu Hopper, Ibishu Pessima mod.1988, Wentward DT40L, and the SBR

Map content:

Research: There has been talk of the devs doing some research on stuff for improved map development

Everything Else:

Spike Strip: January 15th's Teaser Tuesday showed off an experimental spike strip, with the note that it may not be released at all, let alone on any timeline

Improved retro compatibility: Stenyak made a post talking about the team's efforts to improve user's transition between different versions

This thing: August 5th Teaser Tuesday showed what seems to be an electric motor and a 10 lug wheel interfacing with a massive wheel-like thing. Generally agreed by the community to be a new hamster wheel.

This other thing: August 12th and August 14th teaser Tuesday showed.... Something. @JCX034 was the first person I saw untangle the teaser (here) which led to an official unspun teaser, not that it makes things any more clear. @Drivver has a post talking about it here

This third thing: August 21st Teaser Thursday shows a control panel, generally agreed to either be for the above contraption or a traditional car crusher. It's worth noting that the gauge covered by the near lever seems to be a second tachometer, which is weird since dual engine vehicles are generally problematic in game. Could perhaps be a pressure gauge.

Brake glow (?): August 26th Teaser Tuesday, generally agreed to be brake glow

Inflated mat remaster? Trampoline? Iron Golem that hates cars?: See the August 28th Teaser Thursday

Tire physics improvements: The team had a great video, the link can be found on the official forum post. No sign of this coming soon but the team clearly has been putting a lot of work into it

Mod repository: Shown here by TDev back in June

Bubbles: September 2nd Teaser Tuesday. idk.

Gameplay:

Rally game mode:General improvements in each update are expected

Career mode: Check out the dedicated thread for discussing the WIP career mode and look at some of the posts from staff members to get a better idea of what the team has been thinking for career mode

In previous versions of this post I included a large spoiler tab with a list of comments by Krallopian about the future of career mode. However, this post on February 27th indicates a potentially significant shift in the direction career mode is taking so I have removed this section until more is known. It seems that the new vision for career is narrower but deeper, and includes improved support for integration of community additions. This seems to be potentially a more traditional game career mode than what we have seen to this point.

Yeah, after a month passes from an update people start saying update o'clock, I've never understood it tho and rarely say I think the update is coming unless I'm extremely sure.

I'm still wondering on how the bubble itself will work. Since we saw a pigeon inside one, there must be a way to enter it. How will we enter without breaking it?
Is there a door?

These are the questions that keep me up at night
