While that might play a very small part on their strategy I don't think anyone in Ukraine thinks twice before shooting it should the situation really need it. It would make a nice trophy, agreed, but I think the mentality is that if it doesn't burn then nice and even if it does the charred remains are still a trophy and a big PR win via social media.

Yeah, I vote for charred remains of the cyber truck being displayed in Kyiv.

But since Kadyrov might be inside, they might just make sure to save the video of blowing it up with egregious firepower. Even if he's not inside, it's a nice fuck you to all involved.

Does a fully charged CyberTruck have enough range to drive from... wherever it is, to say... Kursk?

It would be the funniest thing in a while if Ukraine managed to hack into the Autopilot and tell the thing to drive itself across the frontline to be captured.

Just because I don't really know the geography there, I thought I'd look it up. Sticker range on the cybertruck is apparently 500km, which (as the crow flies) would get you from Moscow to Kursk, or from Kursk to Kyiv.

Tesla sticker ranges are optimistic. You can achieve them if you drive slowly, but not at highway speed
