Blowing up trucks—sounds like fun. I think people that actually understand modern warfare should be in the trenches with the Ukrainian soldiers, who seem to have a tremendous amount of what we used to call: Yankee ingenuity.

I wonder if this is simply to test if the flying Ginsu Knife (AGM-114R9X) is as effective targeting this type of truck as any other garden variety pickup truck. Hence the need for two specimens.

That’s very likely

And just like ANY other personal vehicle it'll work just like the 80s Ginsu ads and since and dice perfectly. 😅

I think the error is in removing the battery pack. If they really want to see what could happen on a battlefield leave it in. It could explode or worse yet just set fire to itself and spread toxic fumes over a needed to be measured area so our operatives know

how large an area to stay out of.

The CyberYugo is really a waste of taxpayer money. Seems like the usaf can buy a few used CyberEdsel for way less money. Pull the battery and sell that surplus

Hopefully you’re just making hilarious(!) points and not actually treating a friend as described. I have good dumb friends that are magats.

Seriously though, if any of my readers have a Cybertruck, it’s entirely likely I’ve offended you and you’ve now unsubscribed… If by chance you’re still here, comment and let me know why you bought one. I’m genuinely curious. There’s no infrastructure in my neck of the woods for electric vehicles, but I’m wondering how this thing would do on the brutal Michigan lake effect snow.

I'm in the Nation of Quebec where we get beaucoup snow but thankfully not the Lake Effect variety. I regularly see 2 local CyberCucks from May through October, but they seem to spend the snow months in FloriDuh, because they ain't nowhere to be seen around here that half of the year.
