      Probably the latter. CT is very fragile the text that it says that it is doing well on a battlefield is ridiculous.

      Ignoring videos where CT stopped working for silly reasons (or even doors breaking of they are slammed), even the fact that is electric is currently a hurdle. They would have to carry generator with diesel to charge it, since there are no charging stations.

      The whole story was propaganda and more to show how they get around sanctions.

    good protection for the crew

    It’s completely unarmored. Unless your concern is sunburn, inclement weather, or possibly indecent exposure, it isn’t gonna provide much by way of protection.

    Also, nothing like having to check whether the post I’m reading is from [email protected], [email protected], or [email protected]. 2024, man.

      I think the “bulletproof” claims are vastly over hyped. It can block 9mm and that’s about it. Rifle rounds can easily penetrate it lol.

      That .50 mounted above the huge sunroof is going to blow out the glass sooner or later so it probably wouldn’t protect from weather for very long

    Hmm it is good to highlight if the company can remotely disable the vehicle.

    That means they could also remotely change the driving characteristics, as long as it had a data connection. Like, disabling the brakes.

    This dude is shit and musk is shit but this is a universal worry for web connected vehicles.

    If I recall correctly such tampering was suspected to even be involved in a journalist’s death way back in 2013. However this is speculation.

    Well maybe your dumbass shouldn’t’ve so publicly bragged about the little gift from musky that illegally breaks foreign sanctions? Just can’t keep anything on the down-low, can you?

    Funny, Musk is usually all pals with power brokers, they remind him of home.
