This is 100% initiated by Elon to sell trucks to the airforce and as a bonus project an image that the cybertruck is viable for something like that. It laughably isn't and can also easily be tracked. Off road isn't really possible either from what I gathered.
Hard to think of a worse vehicle for that purpose actually.
it is a perfectly viable strategy to get one's enemies to buy that flaming rubbish bin Elon calls a truck.
He's probably motivated by greed, but low key, it's a brilliant strategy.
Oh. wait. he wants our airforce to buy them? shit.
Car no fly. Car go road
No road. Car goes boom.
The purchase order is for (2) CyberTrucks, among a group of 33 vehicles total. Here is thought they found a way to ease the glut in the used market...
It also has a tiny range compared to like the Silverado EV or Hummer.
It’s been proven to be laughably easy to break in various ways.
A 50 cal round will go right through it and into the battery. Then it’s just about being patient while it self immolates.
