Donald Trump wanted to get rid of his red tesla, but the US army wants to go even further. The United States Air Force wants to acquire two cybertrucks to do training objectives.
Official documents identified by the specialized site The war zone shows that Tesla’s electricity collection is part of the last “purchasing list” of the American Air Force Test Center, which has a total of 33 vehicles. Funny details: This is the only vehicle for which a brand and model are explicitly mentioned. For other vehicles that would have missile fire, the army simply offers desired body formats: SUV, silk, trucks, for example.
Prepare for cybertrucks in the hands of the enemy
The idea would be to anticipate the fact that Cybertruck could fall into bad hands, foreign armies or terrorist groups, for example.
“In operations theaters, the enemy is likely to use Cyber Tesla (” Tesla Cyber Trucks “), because it has been found that they do not undergo the damage that is normally expected in case of a great impact” can we read in one of the documents?
“The tests must reflect real situations. The objective of the training is to prepare the units for the operations simulating as close as possible to the scenarios of reality.” Insists on the text to justify the acquisition of these two copies of the Tesla truck.
If in 2019 the presentation of the model had been marked by the gag of the windows presented as indestructible but that had not resisted during a test on the stage, the Cybertruck would have new assets for a modern vehicle, which therefore the army intends to prove. Tesla presented its resistance to bullets of different firearms.
A market study conducted at the beginning of the year “revealed that the aggressive, angular and futuristic design of the cybertruck, associated with its exoskeleton in the non -painted stainless steel, distinguishes it from its competitors generally using body in painted or aluminum steel” begs the army that justifies this acquisition.
There is no need for new cybertrucks
While Cybertruck does not comply with the expected success, this order would not even be inflated, even modestly, the Tesla command book.
Models “You do not need to be in operation, but you must be able to roll behind another vehicle” underlines the article in the war zone, which estimates that 46,000 the number of copies in circulation.
Enough to reduce the costs of acquiring these models, sold of $ 62,490 currently in the United States … and indirectly delight Elon Musk, with its former commission of the Government Effectiveness Commission (Doge) that aimed to reduce the US federal expenditure.
If the Cybertruck is currently marketed in North America, Tesla plans to launch it in Saudi Arabia, in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar by the end of the year. However, several copies have already been seen in different countries of the world, in France, for example, but also in Chechnya …
In August 2024, the Czech leader Ramzan Kadyrov had exhibited a cyber -equipped with the occasion of a machine gun. Elon Musk had denied having donated the vehicle to the strong man of the small Russian republic of the Caucasus, especially since the latter counted to send this militarized version to the Ukrainian front.
