Great start on rendering

The traditional armor/glass refit may work on the Model Y, but defies the main Cybertruck weight advantage of an exoskeleton,

so bad-ass. love it.

Love the two door mod.

Awesome video. Very well done. Esp the renderings.

I would buy one in a heart beat especially this one

Freaking awesome!

Nice renderings but I would not hold my breath waiting for uncle sam to implement a 1st world machine into the battlefield environment. The current main fuel, which is JP-8, is a nearly universal fuel used across a wide spectrum of vehicles by the military from aircraft, scout motorcycles, trucks, armor, tanks, and some patrol boats. Until we can thoroughly saturate the world with dependable superchargers that the "bad guys" cannot interrupt the battlefield will still run on oil. An electrical grid is a pretty soft target and easy to shut-down. Also, remember time is not on your side in a tactical situation.

I just re-watched "Aliens". Cybertruck would make a better troop carrier. The one they had looked like it could get high centered on a speed bump.

Jet Fuel Nice!!

Great and awesome rendering, but with the prevalence of IEDs this is just a pipe dream. No pun intended. All tactical vehicles now have a “V” shaped hull to disperse the blasts from IEDs on vehicles. Flat tactical vehicle designs are a thing of the past or until IEDs are a thing of the past.

The rendering is pretty badass tho!

What we couldn't see in the rendering is the Tesla-designed ground penetrating radar which detects IEDs up to a depth of 3'.

You won't need a grid everywhere to charge these vehicles. What you need is a tanker truck with an electric generator making electricity for a fleet of vehicles which is a lot less volume than a convoy of tanker trucks hauling fuel oil.
The military could also set up field solar arrays at bases that produce electricity without any grid and store in battery packs ready to charge up in remote locations. Charged battery modules can also be dropped or brought by helicopter which could not carry the weight of tons of diesel fuel.

Jet Fuel Nice!!

In the Coast Guard, specifically the HC-130 community we produced a lot of "drained" fuel that had to be dealt with. Each day all aircraft had to have the moisture sumps drained and cataloged. On average you would pull about 2-3 gallons off each aircraft in the process till you had clean and bright fuel. That fuel was fair game to anyone with an oil heater for their off-base home or anyone with a diesel truck. Needless to say, a few P.O.V (Privately Owned Vehicles) had a rather familiar scent when traveling around the base and into town in Kodiak, AK. Otherwise, we had to pay a contractor to haul the contaminated fuel off the island. It separates out pretty easy so it was no problem for trucks and boilers but was no longer legal for aircraft.
