TSLA Cybertrucks specifically for missile target practice at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.\nUnlike typical military vehicle testing, this brand-specific procurement reflects anticipated battlefield realities, according to defense industry publication The War Zone. \n“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 stated in procurement documents.\nTesla’s Cybertruck faces mounting sales challenges despite initial fanfare. The company sold just 4,306 units in second quarter of 2025, marking a 51% quarterly decline and trailing Ford Motor Co. F F-150 Lightning‘s 5,842 units and General Motors Co. GM Hummer EV‘s 4,508 units.\nCurrent annual sales run at approximately 20,000 units—just 8% of CEO Elon Musk‘s original 250,000 annual production target.\nSee Also: Amazon’s Rising Ad Power Pressures Trade Desk As Shares Plunge Over 38% On Growth Concerns\nTesla maintains nearly $200 million worth of unsold Cybertrucks across U.S. lots, according to Tesla-Info data. The vehicle launched at $60,990, significantly above the originally promised $39,900 price point.\nEight recalls in 14 months, including issues with accelerator pedals and detaching trim pieces, have contributed to customer skepticism.\nThe Air Force requires non-functional vehicles with intact bodies, glass, and mirrors for realistic combat simulation. Officials plan to purchase 31 additional vehicles of various types for similar testing purposes, according to the report.\nRead Next: \nDisclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.\nImage Via Shutterstock","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[{"id":465912387879032,"gmtCreate":1754779478747,"gmtModify":1754779483370,"author":{"id":"3576140222331577","authorId":"3576140222331577","name":"Guavaxf30","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1ff15ff6aa254c9130f9af922f7e2447","vip":1,"crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"authorIdStr":"3576140222331577","idStr":"3576140222331577"},"htmlText":"The real reason is Tesla quoted a really low price to get rid if the huge number excess stocks thatcare rotting in storage.

TSLA Cybertrucks specifically for missile target practice at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.\nUnlike typical military vehicle testing, this brand-specific procurement reflects anticipated battlefield realities, according to defense industry publication The War Zone. \n“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 stated in procurement documents.\nTesla’s Cybertruck faces mounting sales challenges despite initial fanfare. The company sold just 4,306 units in second quarter of 2025, marking a 51% quarterly decline and trailing Ford Motor Co. F F-150 Lightning‘s 5,842 units and General Motors Co. GM Hummer EV‘s 4,508 units.\nCurrent annual sales run at approximately 20,000 units—just 8% of CEO Elon Musk‘s original 250,000 annual production target.\nSee Also: Amazon’s Rising Ad Power Pressures Trade Desk As Shares Plunge Over 38% On Growth Concerns\nTesla maintains nearly $200 million worth of unsold Cybertrucks across U.S. lots, according to Tesla-Info data. The vehicle launched at $60,990, significantly above the originally promised $39,900 price point.\nEight recalls in 14 months, including issues with accelerator pedals and detaching trim pieces, have contributed to customer skepticism.\nThe Air Force requires non-functional vehicles with intact bodies, glass, and mirrors for realistic combat simulation. Officials plan to purchase 31 additional vehicles of various types for similar testing purposes, according to the report.\nRead Next: \nDisclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.\nImage Via Shutterstock","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"TSYW.SI":0.6,"TSLA":1,"TSLL":1}},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"isCommentEnd":false,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":1,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.35.12","shortVersion":"4.35.12","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2558501363","isCrawlerRequest":true}
