Archimedes Defense, a prominent provider of high-power solutions for government and defense sectors, has formed a strategic partnership with Unplugged Performance and its fleet division, UP.FIT, to create apocalypse-ready Tesla Cybertrucks. These vehicles, known as STING, are designed to be fully equipped for off-grid recharging and enhanced protection, making them suitable for both government and civilian applications.
Key Highlights:
- Partnership: Archimedes Defense teams up with Unplugged Performance to launch STING packages.
- STING Variants: Three variants available—Baja, Protector, and APC—each offering different levels of off-grid capability and protection.
- Advanced Protection: Vehicles feature bolt-on armor plating, with the APC variant providing the highest level of defense against extreme threats.
- Off-Grid Capabilities: The STING Baja package includes a genset that runs on multiple fuels, capable of supercharging the Cybertruck and providing rescue charging for other vehicles.
- Target Audience: STING packages are tailored for government, corporate, and private customers, with specific models for moderate and high-threat environments.
- Preorders Open: STING packages are now available for preorder, with additional components available through Unplugged Performance.
STING Package Variants
- STING Baja: Includes the UP INVINCIBLE® off-road package, Starlink connectivity, and a frunk-mounted AMP Drive G125TM aviation-derived genset. This compact genset can run on Jet A, JP-8, Diesel, and Biodiesel, supercharging the Cybertruck at up to 125kW.
- STING Protector: Builds on the INVINCIBLE® off-road package by adding bolt-on steel armor plating that can withstand 7.62mm assault rifle rounds, making it ideal for moderate-threat environments.
- STING APC: Offers the highest level of protection with additional IED/mine resistance and ceramic armor plating, designed to shield occupants from 14.5mm heavy machine gun rounds in high-threat environments.
