Summary
A leaked State Department document revealed plans for a $400 million contract potentially favoring Tesla, despite earlier denials.
The document indicated an aggressive bid for armored electric vehicles linked to Trump-era revisions, while Biden’s administration had only budgeted $483,000 for a related study.
Experts questioned the feasibility of using Tesla’s Cybertruck due to technical and safety issues, with Musk and the White House downplaying the deal.
Critics and security professionals expressed skepticism about replacing traditional armored vehicles with modified EVs.

Good luck charging them all then, I guess.
If these guys’ idiocy wasn’t so dangerous, it would be funny.
