"Elon Musk behaved badly. He gives expensive gifts from the heart, and then turns them off remotely. That's not manly," complained the Chechen warlord, who said he had to tow the vehicle after Tesla shut it down. How could you do that, Elon?"
Musk strongly denied donating the Cybertruck to Kadyrov after the Russian-backed dictator posted a video of the militarized EV on Telegram in August. How exactly a Cybertruck ended up in Kadyrov's hands is still something of a mystery.
Experts have questioned whether the Tesla pickup, which weighs 6,800 lbs and needs to be recharged every 320 miles, would make a useful combat vehicle. Mark Cancian, a senior advisor on the International Security Program at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, previously told Business Insider the Cybertruck would be "totally useless" on the battlefield.
"Where do you recharge this thing on the battlefield? There are no Tesla outlets on the front lines in the Donbas," he said.
