Tesla Cybertruck modified for military use–and it looks absolutely insane

Electric Cars


A recent collaboration between a veteran Tesla tuner and a provider of high-power solutions for government and defense applications has resulted in what could only be described as the coolest Cybertruck variants to date.

In a recent announcement, Tesla tuner Unplugged Performance’s specialized fleet division, UP.FIT, and Archimedes Defense, announced the Cybertruck STING, an upgrade that turns the brutalist all-electric pickup truck into a capable vehicle for protection and defense. 

The STING upgrade is built on top of Unplugged Performance’s “Invincible” off-road components, and they effectively elevate the Cybertruck to new heights of durability and self-sufficiency. This makes the STING upgrades ideal for government agencies, defense contractors, and adventurous civilians alike. 

Three variants are available for the Cybertruck STING. First is the STING Baja, which is designed to thrive far beyond the grid; the STING Protector, whose bolt-on armor plating is designed to withstand 7.62mm assault rifle rounds; and the STING APC, whose enhanced IED/mine protection and bolt-on armor is meticulously designed to protect against 14.5mm heavy machine gun rounds. 

Each of the STING variants is unique in its own way. The STING Baja, for one, adds a lightweight, frunk-mounted aviation-derived 800V genset that could run on Jet A, JP-8, diesel, and biodiesel. This effectively allows the Cybertruck STING Baja the ability to charge itself with any fuel source available. It also includes a NACS charging cable with adapters so the vehicle can rescue charge EVs in remote or disaster-stricken areas. 

The STNG Protector and APC seem like they’re designed to secure military contracts. Their bulletproof nature, and in the APC’s case, capability to weather 14.5mm heavy machine gun rounds, effectively make the Cybertruck into a vehicle that is tough enough for the most extreme and dangerous conditions. The fact that the STING Protector and APC could also be ordered with the STING Baja’s genset ensures that the upgraded all-electric pickup truck could operate anywhere for a long period of time as well.
