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.
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...
"How did it go?" "We fired the cannon and the vehicle exploded, and it's still burning now." "So the test was a success?" "Actually, we missed. It just did that."
Was it raining, perchance?
it is likely the type of vehicles used by the enemy may transition to Tesla Cyber trucks
wat
I'm the coming civil war, they believe the MAGA Army will use Cybertrucks, so it's best to prepare a defence against them.
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 Air Force is buying 2 of them. 2. That's not going to save Tesla.
Tesla can’t even sell these dumpster coffins to all the Muskrats because nobody can afford them.
You can get like a 100 third hand Hiluxes for the price of one Cybertruck.
You will have more quality problems in one cybertruck than 100 Hiluxes.
ISIS: So we switch to cybertrucks then?
ISIS 2: Can't handle heat and sand.
Boko Haram: So we switch to cybertrucks?
BH 2: Can't handle water.
Cartels: So we switch to Cybertrucks?
Cartels 2: Toyotas are cheaper.
IDF: Cybertrucks?
IDF 2: Starving GaZa is cruel enough without torturing their eyes, too.
Edit: Ya'll Quieda: Cybertrucks?
Ya'll Quieda 2: Hell yeah! They piss off the libs!
Ya'll Quieda 3: But God Emperor Trump hates them now!
Ya'll Quieda 2: Trump hates them but the libs hate them??? I DUNNO WHAT TO DO???
Edit 2:
Russia: Cybertrucks?
Russia 2: Better than what we current---
Ukraine : Got one!!!
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"
That's stupid. Terrorists are smarter than that generally speaking.
Someone blew themselves up outside Trump Tower in a Cyber Truck. Terrorists are, observably, not smarter than that.
Yes, they're preparing to fight MAGA idiots.
What about when the terrorists are home grown and appreciate the CEO's Heil Hitler?

'it is likely the type of vehicles used by the enemy may transition to Tesla Cyber trucks'
Please explain your reasoning in great detail and at length. Go on. We'll wait.
What if a civil war breaks out and the army isn't on the side of the fascists?
So the massive surplus of cybertrucks that have just been sitting for months are finally getting a buyer huh?
They're only buying 2 of them
Don't they just need to drop some water on them and then they'll self immolate?
I don't think you need to test blowing them up. They've already lost if they're using them.
How to get a tax write down in 3 easy steps by Elon Musk.
...what enemy?
Starving innocent palestinians. Obviously.
Their underage children obviously
It costs $100k, operating the vehicle as intended causes parts to fall off, rain will disable it, and it's incapable of leaving the pavement. Every one they managed to sell has been recalled. There's no way it dethrones the hilux, which is dependable, cheap, readily available, and well proven offroad, in combat. I know musk isn't too bright, particularly when his pride is involved, but he'd be a bigger fool than I believed him to be if he restarts production on the cybertruck. Frankly this reads like some backroom "advertising" deal with the Trump administration to con people into changing their minds about or, more likely, to drum up interest among nonstate actors so Tesla can make bulk sales to offload the current stock. "Ooh, the largest airforce in the world is concerned about this commercially available vehicle made out of glue and sheet aluminum with a built in explosive pack just waiting for a detonator!" Product costs money to hold and they're in the hole bad.
Is the US Air Force gonna start bombing racist MAGAt Cybertruck owners? I'm all for that.
Because Elon is actively selling his trucks to enemies of the US
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?
We got too many of these fucking cyber trucks! What should we do with them? I don't know. Use Elon's cronie capitalism to force the US military to buy them and blow them up? Genius, promote that man. I was jokin.... Nevermind, blow those pieces of shit with some black hawks.
They going to haul a diesel generator around with them like that cybertruck arctic expedition?
The enemy is already using them. Just not mostly for violence.
Nope, terrorists want reliable trucks
I...can't think of a single munition in inventory that wouldn't obliterate a cybertruck. Like best case it reduces the effective frag radius from a Hydra 70 M151 10lb warhead slightly.
The air force doesn't really believe in overkill, they'll be popping these things with 500lb GBU-38 JDAMs even if all it takes is an air dropped water balloon.
What form do I file to get all my tax money back?
