Cybertrucks are kind of “bulletproof” so they are good for testing. They may be absolute garbage in almost every metric, but the parts that really matter for that kind of testing are more durable than the majority of consumer vehicles.
Yeah honestly the idea that they are considering cyber trucks to be possible future hostile vehicles seems like a good thing to me considering most people who bought them would be supporting ICE in Civil War II electric boogaloo
It’s also just a fairly unique vehicle in terms of its construction, so they’d be stupid not to test how their weapons work against it. Even if you’re 99% sure that Elon is full of shit with all his “Apocalypse proof” nonsense, you test for that 1% just to be safe. This is all completely routine stuff.
They are buying two non-functional Cybertrucks. It’s pretty standard to do weapons testing on non-functional vehicles.
Aren’t most cybertrucks ‘non-functional’ in the traditional truck sense?
My problem with this is the depiction of the cybertruck as some capable military vehicle vs any other conventional truck

They bought 33 vehicles. Two of them are cybertrucks. Kind of feels like you might be blowing this way out of proportion, just like the headline is.

I mean, sure, but they could also watch any YouTube vid of a guntuber actually shooting one. It’s nothing special.
Totally agree. I still like them being shot at and/or blown up though
With the cybertruck, “nonfunctional” could just mean it rolled off the lot five minutes ago.
