    They bought 33 vehicles. Two of them are cybertrucks. Kind of feels like you might be blowing this way out of proportion, just like the headline is.

      Yeah honestly the idea that they are considering cyber trucks to be possible future hostile vehicles seems like a good thing to me considering most people who bought them would be supporting ICE in Civil War II electric boogaloo

        It’s also just a fairly unique vehicle in terms of its construction, so they’d be stupid not to test how their weapons work against it. Even if you’re 99% sure that Elon is full of shit with all his “Apocalypse proof” nonsense, you test for that 1% just to be safe. This is all completely routine stuff.

          I mean, sure, but they could also watch any YouTube vid of a guntuber actually shooting one. It’s nothing special.
