The upgrades are said to be aimed at government and defense applications and make the Cybertruck &#8220;go-anywhere&#8221; ready. The announcement <strong>noted civilian use<\/strong> as well.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"static-marker-video-player-primis\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The upgrades build off the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorauthority.com\/news\/1141630_unplugged-performance-ready-to-upgrade-the-tesla-cybertruck\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Invincible upgrades UP.FIT announced<\/a> immediately after the Cybertruck&#8217;s debut in 2023. Three Sting packages were outlined so far. Archimedes said it will take pre-orders for the upgraded Cybertrucks, but <strong>no pricing<\/strong> was announced.<\/p>\n<p>The Base Sting Baja package incorporates Starlink connectivity (also owned by Tesla CEO Elon Musk) with the satellite receiver mounted in the bed. An <strong>AMP Drive G125 800-volt generator<\/strong> gets mounted in the frunk and is said to run on jet fuel, JP-8, diesel, and biodiesel. The generator can output up to 125 kw of energy to recharge the Cybertruck or another EV, and it comes with a NACS charging cable along with adapters for non-NACS vehicles. No photos of the adapters or frunk-mounted generator were provided.<\/p>\n<p>Sting Protector package adds <strong>bolt-on offset steel armor plating<\/strong>. The panels are said to be capable of withstanding a 7.62 mm assault rifle. At the reveal and launch of the Cybertruck Musk claimed the electric truck was bullet proof. The Sting Protector package can be added without the Sting Baja package&#8217;s generator.<\/p>\n<p>Sting APC takes the armor plating to the next level with IED and mine protection thanks to upgraded bolt-on offset steel and ceramic plating. The uprated shielding can withstand a hit from 14.5 mm heavy machine guns, according to Archimedes Defense.<\/p>\n<p>UP.FIT announced a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorauthority.com\/news\/1143473_tesla-cybertruck-turned-into-silent-police-cruiser\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">police package for the Cybertruck<\/a> in June.
