The first company specializes in developing power plants and generators for government and military needs, while the second is engaged in upgrading Tesla vehicles for various customers, including government agencies and police.

The centerpiece of the new series is the Drive G125, a multi-fuel system that can run on a variety of fuels, including jet fuel. This system is designed to charge the Cybertruck’s battery and significantly increases the electric vehicle’s range, allowing it to travel up to 1,100 kilometers on a single charge. The Sting Baja model also features a new body kit and a lightweight body, giving the vehicle a more sophisticated look. The Overland version focuses on improving off-road performance, including underbody protection, upgraded suspension, reinforced steel bumpers, and special shock absorbers.

The Sting Protector modification turns the standard Cybertruck into a fully-fledged armored vehicle capable of protecting the driver and passengers not only from prying eyes, but also from 7.62 mm caliber fire, used in assault rifles. Even more powerful protection is offered by the Sting APC version, which is a real armored personnel carrier capable of withstanding direct hits from a large-caliber machine gun.

The first batch of Cybertruck Sting will be delivered without the Drive G125 installation, which will not be available until 2025. The cost of these vehicles has not yet been disclosed, the final price will depend on the customer’s requirements and will be discussed individually.
