Previously, Tesla Tuner has already unveiled a Cybertruck modified to become a police petrol vehicle. This time also there is another development for the Tesla Cybertruck. The electric vehicle has receives a few new modification to developed it into an electric tank for military applications-or for safety-concerned civilians.
Now Tesla has partnered with Archimedes Defense to build a military version of Cybertruck. On this development Tesla said Archimedes Defense and Unplugged Performance have joined forces to bring you STING—a groundbreaking series of up-armored, genset-equipped Tesla Cybertruck packages designed for those who demand the highest levels of performance, protection, and energy independence. Engineered for both government and civilian use, STING is built to thrive in the harshest environments, offering unmatched capability for anyone who needs to be ready for anything.
There is three options available in the STING with varying levels of upgrades:
The first in them is the STING Baja which will come with UP’s already unveiled UP INVINCIBLE off-road package for the Cybertruck which adds a genset that fits in the frunk and can charge up to 125 kW. It generally work as a range extender for the electric pickup truck. Or the Protector version adds armor that can protect against rounds of up to 7.62 mm.
This modification will make the Cybertruck a stiff body against the bullets as Tesla already claims that Cybertruck is “bulletproof”, but it only applies to some section of the truck where there’s enough steel and certainly not the window.
The vehicles of the collaboration is the Cybertruck STING APC, which adds protection against rounds up to 14.5mm and a plate to defend against EID and mines.
However UP has warns that depending on the jurisdiction the latter two versions might not be approved for driving on public roads. Also the pricing of the vehicles has yet to unveil, but the two companies sys that it is open to selling to government or civilians.
