On August 7, the automotive news outlet Electrek reported that a long-held aspiration of Tesla CEO Elon Musk is on the verge of realization: the Cybertruck will indeed be adopted by the US military, albeit for a purpose that falls short of Musk's original visions. Musk has heralded the Cybertruck as bulletproof and capable of "surviving the apocalypse," emphasizing its suitability for military applications and actively marketing it to the US military. Boasting a rugged stainless steel exterior, a potent electric powertrain, and ballistic protection, the Cybertruck indeed showcases potential for military use. Nonetheless, the exact manner in which the military will harness the Cybertruck's features and capabilities remains to be seen.
