Musk strongly denied ever sending a Cybertruck to Russia or Kadyrov. Despite having to tow the first of the trucks, the warlord says he has sent two additional armed Cybertrucks to the front lines of Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Tesla has yet to comment on whether the vehicle can be remotely disabled, but Kadyrov claims his new Cybertrucks are still operational.
