Design
The Tesla Cybertruck still looks like something out of a sci-fi movie — sharp angles, steel body, and a design that turns heads whether you like it or not. That same bold look is probably part of why the U.S. military is interested. It doesn’t exactly blend in, but it does look sturdy. I’ve seen a few in person, and no matter what you think of the shape, it feels like it means business.
Feathttp://The U.S. Military Is Buying Tesla Cybertrucks To Shoot At Themures
The military isn’t buying Cybertrucks to drive them into battle — they’re actually planning to shoot at them. That’s right. These trucks are being used for ballistics testing. With their stainless steel exoskeleton and unique build, it makes sense that the Department of Defense wants to see how they hold up under pressure — literally. It’s more about data than deployment.
Performance
On paper, Cybertrucks have solid specs: fast acceleration, strong towing capacity, and a tough frame. But for the military, it’s less about performance on the road and more about how the structure behaves under attack. It’s like testing the engine in a tank — not to race it, but to know how far it can be pushed.
Everyday Use
If you’re thinking about buying a Cybertruck yourself, this military use case probably won’t matter much — unless you’re curious about how bullet-resistant your truck might be. For most drivers, it’s still just a bold electric pickup with some unusual design choices. Kind of reminds me of someone buying a pickup for city driving — more style than necessity.
Price & Context
Tesla hasn’t officially confirmed the deal, but reports suggest the government is buying Cybertrucks specifically for testing purposes. It’s not a massive order, just part of the usual defense research. Still, it’s a unique twist in the Cybertruck story.
