That doesn't appear to be the case - there (was) an entry on a spreadsheet about 'Armored Teslas' but Musk claims to know nothing about it, the State Department has stated it was just an estimate for a proposal they are no longer pursuing, and the ledger entry has been removed.
So no, not a "contract for armored Cybertrucks"
