It’s the only make/model called out specifically on a recently discovered wants-list of 33 target practice vehicles to get blown up at the White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) in New Mexico. “The explicit requirement for the Cybertrucks—which do not need to be in running condition, but do need to be able to roll towed behind another vehicle—requires a formal sole-source justification, a redacted copy of which is among the documents that AFTC has shared online.” In the operating theatre it is likely the type of vehicles used by the enemy may transition to Tesla Cyber trucks [sic] as they have been found not to receive the normal extent of damage expected upon major impact,” it adds.
