Tesla’s roughly 7,000-pound stainless steel Cybertruck may not have sold particularly well among the general public, but it does appear to have found a receptive audience in one particular cohort: law enforcement. Now, a jet-black, militarized Cybertruck is reportedly among the vehicles set to respond to potential incidents during 2026 World Cup matches taking place in Jalisco, Mexico. According to El Informador, the Cybertruck will patrol densely populated tourist areas and collect data on potential criminal activity. Musk has famously praised the truck’s “bulletproof” stainless steel exoskeleton, though more recent reports suggest those claims hold true only for certain low caliber firearms. Meanwhile, disgruntled owners have taken to online forums to complain that the so-called “stainless steel” alloy has shown signs of rust after only brief exposure to rain.
