Militarymedia.net - Tesla Cybertruck - The military has talked about including electric vehicles in their fleet and with the Tesla Cybertruck described as "an armored personnel carrier from the future", a rendering artist decided to explore what the Cybertruck would look like as an electric Joint Lightweight Tactical Vehicle.
As we reported last week, the military is developing plans to use EVs for long-range missions and is even citing Tesla as an example that a larger EV could be used.
With Tesla CEO Elon Musk describing the Cybertruck as 'an armored personnel carrier from the future', some are suggesting that the military could eventually use the Cybertruck as a platform for building electric military vehicles.
It will be a kind of reverse Hummer, which was originally a military vehicle but was later converted into a commercial vehicle.
However the Cybertruck has several other advantages that most commercial vehicles lack, including the fact that it is built with an Ultra-Hard 30X Cold-Rolled stainless steel outer frame.
YouTuber Electric Future and car designer Jan Peisert partnered to envision what the Tesla Cybertruck would look like as an electric military vehicle, such as the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle.
They have come up with some interesting designs:
One of these also points to potential solar power features, which Tesla actually planned to do with the Cybertruck.
Tesla claims that the optional solar cell system at the top of the electric pickup truck will generate about 15 miles of electricity per day.
