Please don't cancel it. I want to see the inevitable headline that will result from occupiers and department of war ghouls riding in the firetrap unbreakable machine.

Could you imagine if at some point all elected officials are "required" to use armored Tesla's for transport "security" and then Trump and Musk have the ability to lock uncooperative politicians inside and drive them into a lake or explode the trucks on demand?

It's just a grift so I doubt that will happen unfortunately. They're just going to be used for military parades, Elon will have one with humongous fascist flags on the front, and the rest will sit rusting in some field on an army base.

it would just turn into the F35 project with a constantly ballooning cost and a ever lengthening delivery deadline.
