If you do not revolt against the government, you will receive a free cybertruck as a replacement for your house, which will be too expensive to live in.
Each immigrant willing to leave voluntarily will receive a free cybertruck.
The US military, firefighters, EMT's and police force will get new vehicles! They will all start to use cybertrucks.
You joke, but I can 100% see this happening.
That's unlikely. You need to get grants from the federal government, chiefly the DHS, to get money to buy major equipment. There ain't anymore federal grants remember. Small volunteer, (70% of all fire depts in the US), services are especially reliant on those grants to replace major assets.
Source: Been on committees to spec and buy ambulances and fire trucks and turnout gear. Even boots and gloves sometimes.
You are acting like they don't have an interest in arming/militarizing local police...
You act like you don't understand police departments need grants to buy those things also.
You act like they won't be replaced or disbanded by Musk if they won't do what he wants. He has enough money to buy anyone and anything. And he shows he isn't scared in doing so.
Do they still let you charge for free on the Tesla network?
Charge it during the day, run your house off of it at night when you are home. Save electricity.
Thanks to Elon, inspecting governmental bodies, regulations and regulators will be dissolved, so probably the cybertruck will be an amazing camp fire, better known as a dumbster fire, due to spontaneous combustion like Chinese cars in China. Then to blame it on trans people or something.
