    They’re buying 2 (along with 31 other vehicles) to make sure that our bombs blow them up. They will, and that’s all that’s going to happen.

    There are enough real issues rn that y’all really need to do better at avoiding these distractions…

    Or Elmo just has a lot of overstock to spare because of his shenanigans and his fellow tecnofacists and investors are having our government buy them at top dollar to prop up the house of cards that is Tesla meme stock

      The military already know you can’t do anything to stop a Hilux. They’re just trying for better numbers in their testing now.

      I feel like the IDF2 one is more like “the small bodies of starved palestinian children get stuck between the panels and are difficult to remove”

    I don’t think you need to test blowing them up. They’ve already lost if they’re using them.

    I thought these these were self-exploding.

    and wait isn’t the point of a Toyota technical that it can be made for $3.50 and runs on fossil fuels?

    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 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.

      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.

      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…
