Would be a shame if they all happen to spontaneously combust at once. It'd be some pretty fireworks at least!
May every single one explode with a high ranking official inside.
@toaster lol. Got warehouses full of steel tanks? Checkout this one weird trick to make it through the next quarterly report.
Nailed it.
Great … tanks that blow themselves up.
I wonder if they can survive metal balls :3
Apparently this is being disputed. Biden started the ball rolling about getting an armoured EV fleet. Sounds like some document said Tesla on it but now it doesn’t.
Yep, seems like the posted headline jumped the gun
This is like the PPE contracts in the UK during COVID. Don't the people realise they're being robbed in broad daylight?
LOL, of course...
