Armored Tesla Bid Disappears From State Department Procurement List 

So the armored Tesla deal for the State Department seems to have vanished into thin air. Interesting timing considering the recent spotlight on Musk and government contracts. This begs the question: was this legitimate interest in the Cybertruck's potential, or just speculative buzz?

I'm curious to hear thoughts on whether the Cybertruck is even a viable option for government use. Its unconventional design and unproven durability raise some eyebrows. Could this be a strategic move by Tesla, perhaps to avoid the scrutiny that comes with large government contracts? Or is this a sign that the Cybertruck isn't ready for prime time, even in a non-combat role?

I predict we'll see more military-inspired designs from Tesla in the future. Musk's fascination with this aesthetic is clear. Whether or not they'll actually be adopted by any military is another story. What kind of modifications would even be necessary to make the Cybertruck battlefield-ready? Food for thought. Let the discussion begin.
