美国空军计划购买两辆特斯拉 Cybertruck,将其用作导弹目标的靶车。尽管消费者对 Cybertruck 的兴趣正在下降,但军方认为这些车辆在未来冲突中可能成为敌方使用的车型,因此需要通过在白沙导弹靶场进行实弹射击测试来模拟真实情况,以准备部队的实战操作。

🔥 这些 Cybertruck 不需要具备行驶功能,但车身、玻璃和镜片必须保持完好无损,以模拟真实战场环境。

📉 与此同时,特斯拉 Cybertruck 的销量正在大幅下滑,第二季度仅售出 4300 辆,同比下降 51%,显示出市场对其兴趣的减弱。

🚘 除了 Cybertruck,空军还在寻找其他 31 辆汽车,包括轿车、皮卡和 SUV 等,这些车辆也可能会被用作靶车进行测试。

    The U.S. Air Force is looking to buy two Cybertrucks to use as missile targets. The trucks do not need to run, but the body, glass, and mirrors must be intact.

While consumers are losing interest in Tesla’s Cybertruck, the armed forces is on the hunt for a few.

The War Zone, a news site that covers the defense industry, reports the Air Force is planning to buy two Cybertrucks to use as targets for “live missile fire testing.” The testing is set to take place at the White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) in New Mexico (an Army base the Air Force also uses).

Typically, when the armed forces collect vehicles to practice blowing them up, they don’t seek out specific brands. And while the Trump administration and Tesla CEO Elon Musk have been sniping at each other on social media for the past couple of months, this brand name exception is more due to expected actions by the nation’s enemies.

“In the operating theater, it is likely the type of vehicles used by the enemy may transition to Tesla Cybertrucks as they have been found not to receive the normal extent of damage expected upon major impact,” the Air Force wrote in a justification document supporting the purchase order. “Testing needs to mirror real world situations. The intent of the training is to prep the units for operations by simulating scenarios as closely as possible to the real world situations.”

The Air Force notes the trucks they’re looking to buy do not need to run, but the body, glass and mirrors must be intact, with little to no damage. It’s a safe bet that officials won’t be buying them from the company.

Not a lot of people are these days. Tesla sold just 4,300 of the trucks in the second quarter of the year, a 51% drop.  Last year, Tesla sold just 39,000 of the vehicles, a number it’s unlikely to match this year.

In addition to the Cybertrucks, the Air Force is looking for 31 other cars, including sedans, bongo trucks, pickups and SUVs, all of which will likely be blown up.
