The Cybertrucks were requested as part of a batch of 33 vehicles, including sedans, pickups, SUVs, and bongo trucks, that the Air Force wants to use for target practice at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.
According to Electrek, the controversial billionaire brought up the truck at an Air Force Space Pitch Day event in San Francisco in 2019.
But hey, if the Air Force goes through with its purchase, that’s two more trucks on the ledger for the company.
And if the truck blows up really nice, there could be more of a future for the Cybertruck as military target.
Maybe the Navy would want to test Musk’s claims about the Cybertruck’s amphibiousness before launching a few torpedos at it.
