The US Air Force aims to acquire two Tesla Cybertrucks for munitions testing at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, as part of a broader contract for 33 vehicles. The Cybertrucks are specifically needed in non-functional condition with batteries removed. Air Force documents suggest that adversaries may soon deploy such vehicles, given their resistance to typical damage from impacts. Tesla's Cybertrucks have been noted for durability, with CEO Elon Musk touting the vehicle as "apocalypse proof." Previous observations of modified Cybertrucks in military contexts raise concerns about battlefield utility.
