UNPLUGGED PERFORMANCE IN HAWTHORNE, CALIFORNIA, REIMAGINED THE CYBERTRUCK FOR POLICE WORK, CREATING THE “TACTICAL CYBERTRUCK.”
THIS VERSION HAS PIQUED INTEREST FOR ITS POTENTIAL AS A PUBLIC SAFETY VEHICLE, FEATURING BALLISTIC CAPABILITIES AND AN INTIMIDATING DESIGN REMINISCENT OF SCI-FI FILMS.
AND — THE CYBERTRUCKS NEARLY 2 MILLIMETER THICK STAINLESS STEEL EXOSKELETON OFFERS A HIGH LEVEL OF DURABILITY AND CAN EVEN PROVIDE RESISTANCE AGAINST SMALL ARMS FIRE.
WHILE THE TESLA CYBERTRUCK STIRS CONSIDERABLE INTEREST FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT USE, PRACTICAL DEPLOYMENT IN POLICE FORCES REMAINS ON HOLD.
