In August , a Russian warlord posted a picture on Telegram , showing a pair of Cybertrucks patrolling a road in Chechnya , armed seemingly with toilsome automobile guns . Leaving away unanswerable ( for now ) enquiry about how the vehicles were obtain , Wired think it worth digging into whether a Cybertruck actuallymakes senseas a “ technical , ” the term for alter civilian rides used by militaries and military chemical group .
What did the mercantile establishment receive ? Well , it ’s complicated . One expert noted the Cybertrucks ’ stainless steel makeup can take some abuse , and that they ’re both fast and muted — a summation in a stealth operation . A second expert described the truck ’ great trust on software and few parts as potentially catastrophic ; they ’re also madly heavy , do maneuverability and traction on certain terrains tough . ( As a monitor , they appear not to do all that wellin sand . )
