      They bought two non-functional Cybertrucks. It’s pretty standard to do weapons testing on non-functional vehicles.

        lol if you think the army saying this about these vehicles is normal:

        It said the Tesla pickups were “likely” to start appearing on the battlefield. It added that they don’t “receive the normal extent of damage expected upon major impact.”

          They have thicker skin than other comparable vehicles. This has implications for weapon effectiveness, such as from shrapnel.
