Kazakhstan to expand Cybertruck use after Almaty rescue trial

Tesla

Kazakhstan's Ministry of Emergency Situations on June 2 confirmed it will buy more Tesla Cybertrucks after the initial unit deployed in Almaty proved effective in mountain rescue operations, with Vice Minister Yerbolat Sadyrbayev citing its high mobility, quiet operation, and onboard electric power output. The decision adds to a Kazakhstan government fleet that already includes Cybertrucks used by the State Guard Service as mobile command-and-control vehicles during the May 15 Organization of Turkic States summit in Turkistan - an unexpected international government channel for a model that has otherwise struggled with U.S. consumer demand.
