Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Didn’t they just order 400 million with of armored cybertrucks?

Edit: seems it’s million, not billion

That was 400 million. It looks like they are denying it, but there's still a procurement for 400 million of "armored electric trucks". https://checkyourfact.com/2025/02/18/fact-check-state-department-400-million-worth-tesla-trucks/

No, that was canceled after they were publicly called out. We need to stay vigilant

It wasnt canceled they just renamed it to “armored electric trucks” iirc

Which means that other companies at least hypothetically can bid.

Hey bud, fuck off. The best way to fight fascism besides literal warfare is to shine a light directly on its shittiness. This change in wording may seem small, but we need to fight the changes that are coming tooth and nail. Condescendingly discouraging all nonviolent resistance by acting as if it's useless/hopeless is a great way to make violence inevitable.
