New Armored Truck by Tesla? Cybertruck For The Zombie Apocalypse?

Elon Musk just unveiled the Tesla Cybertruck, the company’s first electric pickup truck. There will be three versions of the Tesla truck — 250 miles, 300 miles, and 500 miles of range — with a variety of towing capacities and 0-60 mph capabilities. Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled the truck at a cyberpunk-inspired event with many, many lasers, and even a surprise ATV.

3 versions of the Tesla truck available:

Single motor rear-wheel drive with 250 miles of range, 7,500-pound towing capacity, and 0-60 mph capabilities in under 6.5 seconds, for $39,900.
Dual motor all-wheel drive with 300 miles of range, 10,000-pound towing capacity, and 0-60 mph in under 4.5 seconds for $49,900.
Triple motor all-wheel drive with 500 miles of range, 14,000-pound towing capacity, and 0-60 mph in under 2.9 seconds for $69,900. (Though this version won’t start production until late 2022.)

In an effort to demonstrate the truck’s shatterproof windows, Tesla design chief Franz von Holzhausen smashed them with a heavy metal ball thrown at close range.

Armoured Fighting Vehicle "Vodnik" (GAZ 3937) Review & Specifications

The GAZ 39371 Vodnik is the Russian answer to the HMMWV / Humvee. "Russian "Hummer" is the nickname given by people to one of the latest products of the Arzamas automobile plant - the high-mobility multipurpose vehicle GAZ-3937 "Vodnik". The purpose of the vehicle, as well as its appearance resemble those of its American "brother", but "Vodnik" surpasses the "American" in many parameters!

The standard undercarriage with a cab can be optionally comp...

Caterpillar D9 Series Armored Bulldozers: Cat D9L, D9N, D9R, D9T

The armored bulldozer is a basic tool of combat engineering. These combat engineering vehicles combine the earth moving capabilities of the bulldozer with armor which protects the vehicle and its operator in or near combat. Most are civilian bulldozers modified by addition of vehicle armor/military equipment, but some are tanks stripped of armament and fitted with a dozer blade. Some tanks have bulldozer blades while retaining their armament, but this does not make them armored bulldozers as such, because combat remains the primary role — earth moving is a secondary task. Modern armored bulldozers are often based on the Caterpillar D7 and D9, or russian dozer ChTZ B10. The attributes that make the D9 popular for major construction projects make it desirable for military applications as well. It has been particularly effective for the Israel Defense Forces and for the United States armed forces and the Canadian Army in Iraq, both using an armor kit developed and manufactured by Is...
