They could’ve included in the title the amount of cybertrucks (2). Smells like clickbait
The Air Force specifically requested Cybertrucks due to concerns that adversaries might use them on the battlefield, citing their reported resistance to normal damage.
They’re damaged by RAIN.
And the sun!

Lol
The contract stipulates that the Cybertrucks must be towable, non-functional, and have all fluids drained before delivery.
So…
Just average Cybertrucks?
Also, I sure as fuck hope they know to remove batteries from EVs too
I watched a gun youtuber shoot one up for science. As one would expect for a consumer vehicle, any and all military calibers like 5.56 passed through it like hot butter.

It did…
But 5.56 is dogshit at penetration. Like, a normal car does pretty well against it, but the cyber truck is just that bad against it.
It has less penetration than handgun calibers, and one of the reasons it’s recommended for home defense is an interior wall that’s basically just two sheets of drywall could stop it.
There’s a reasons gangstas use AKs and not ARs…
Then that tells me the cybertruck is even more dogshit at stopping bullets than I thought it was! 🤣
Not all 5.56 bullets are the same. I’ve got 75 grain bonded core that’ll penetrate walls just fine and M855A1 if more penetration is needed. Shit, even run of the mill M193 will defeat level 4 plates out of a 20" barrel.

If you just increase the mass by 20% shove a solid dense core in then it does better!
/s

Wildy, just wildly untrue…
To be certied level 3, you need to stop a m193
Like by the very definition of level IV, it can stop m193
Who is telling you this stuff and why were you believing them?
This isn’t secret or even hard to obtain information
Lol, because insurgents will prefer a truck that needs to be charged out in the open for hours over one that can be filled using jerrycans.
Electric vehicles are great, but I doubt the Tesla supercharger network extends to wherever the air force expects to be bombing people next.

California?
How many Hiluxes do you think insurgents could buy for the price of one Cybertruck?
A fleet.
Pretty sure people have converted cyber trucks into ice.
Holy shit, that is even stupider than buying a wankpanzer to begin with.
Generator.
I hardly know her!
I hope they don’t.
So the US government is helping Tesla by buying inventory it can’t sell… sounds about right for this fiasco of an administration.
They’re buying 2 of them. Not exactly bailing anything out.
This is just the government’s way of giving money to Elon while also advertising for his wankpanzer.
FTA:
- The US Air Force Test Center is looking to acquire two Tesla Cybertrucks to use as targets for precision-guided munitions.
Two CyberTrucks isn’t a lot of money.
Also:
- The contract stipulates that the Cybertrucks must be towable, non-functional, and have all fluids drained before delivery.
No fluids means no brake fluid, no transmission fluid, etc. So these things won’t even be drivable. Tesla could simply supply them with a couple of lemons that they are stuck with. If they did that they likely wouldn’t even charge full price.

Laughs in military procurement
DOD will pay for FSD twice on each cybertruck

Elon: “hey government, would you buy some of my trucks?”
Government: “we don’t have any use for those… well, actually…”
No need to even deliver them. Just drop the bombs where they sit in Tesla dealerships.
Soft targets fucking kek 😂
