The claim about Tesla making a deal with an army for Cybertrucks seems to be a mix of speculation and misinformation. There was talk of a $400 million deal for armored Tesla Cybertrucks under the Biden administration, but it was later put on hold and eventually canceled by the Trump administration.
So, no, Tesla hasn't struck a deal with any army for Cybertrucks at this point. As for lithium, Tesla does have a massive appetite for it, given their focus on electric vehicles and energy storage systems. If such a deal were to happen in the future, it would indeed ramp up their lithium needs even more.
So, while the story hasn't quite made it to the "hope bin," it might be better suited for the "urban legend" pile for now. But hey, stranger things have happened, right Ian?
