LISTEN: The U.S. Military Wants to Blow Up Some Cybertrucks

Tesla’s Cybertruck has sparked some interesting debates around aesthetics and utility versus novelty, but the U.S. military just wants a few of them to blow up.The Air Force Test Center submitted a procurement request for 33 towable target vehicles to be used as targets for live missile fire testing. The request mostly focuses on sedans of various colors, trucks, SUVs and “Bongos,” which appears to be the term they used for a Japanese Kei truck.But the list mentions the Cybertruck specifically, noting that the vehicle could appeal to enemies since they don’t seem to take the same amount of damage expected upon major impact.
