Tesla's Cybertruck, being an electric vehicle, was repurposed for combat and featured in warfare when Chechnya's leader Ramzan Kadyrov showcased them with mounted heavy machine guns for use in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Kadyrov’s claim that Elon Musk remotely disabled one of these Cybertrucks highlights the potential risks and downsides of smart vehicles in combat situations, particularly when geopolitical tensions and sanctions are involved. This incident raises concerns about the security, control, and utilization of commercial technology in military engagements, as well as the potential fallout in terms of public perception and international relations for Tesla.
