... I mean, while it would be very _funny_, I'm not sure that there's much market for self-disassembling tanks.
- cjbgkagh 2y agoI think due to drones there will be a trend towards very lightly armored vehicles that spend most of their time loitering with short periods of shoot-and-scoot. When even tanks can be destroyed by drones it doesn't make much sense to keep pursing stronger, heavier, and more expensive armor. The versatility of the CyberTruck manufacturing chain would make it pretty easy to pump out many variants for different roles and easily change the variants as tactics progress.
