The Tesla Cybertruck is already a head-turning vehicle, but now it’s about to become even more formidable with the introduction of STING. This groundbreaking series of upgrades, developed by Archimedes Defense and Unplugged Performance, transforms the Cybertruck into a true powerhouse with unmatched performance, protection, and energy independence.
STING is engineered to excel in the most demanding environments, catering to both government and civilian needs. Archimedes Defense, renowned for its high-power solutions for defense applications, has combined its expertise with Unplugged Performance’s renowned Tesla upgrades to create a product that redefines the capabilities of the Cybertruck.
STING Baja: For the Adventurous
For those venturing beyond the grid, the STING Baja package is the ultimate solution. It includes the UP INVINCIBLE® off-road package, ensuring the Cybertruck can conquer even the most rugged terrains. But the Baja variant goes further, adding the AMP Drive G125TM – a compact, lightweight, aviation-derived 800V genset that mounts in the frunk. This genset, capable of running on Jet A, JP-8, diesel, and biodiesel, can supercharge the Cybertruck at up to 125kW, ensuring you never run out of power. The STING Baja also features a rescue-charging capability, allowing you to charge other vehicles using the included NACS charging cable (adapters are available for non-NACS vehicles). Whether you’re exploring remote deserts or navigating disaster-stricken areas, STING Baja keeps you moving.
STING Protector: Enhanced Security
Designed for moderate threat environments, STING Protector builds on the UP INVINCIBLE® off-road package by adding bolt-on, bolt-off external offset steel armor plating. This advanced armor is specifically designed to withstand 7.62mm assault rifle rounds, providing critical protection from key azimuths during engagements. Whether you’re a private individual, a corporate entity, or a government agency operating in areas where security concerns are present but not extreme, STING Protector offers the peace of mind you need. It’s available with or without the genset, allowing you to tailor the package to your specific operational needs.
STING APC: The Ultimate Defense
For those facing extreme threats, STING APC is the ultimate defense upgrade. It features enhanced IED/mine protection and upgraded bolt-on, bolt-off external offset steel and ceramic armor plating meticulously designed to protect against 14.5mm heavy machine gun rounds from key azimuths. This level of protection is critical for military and defense operations where threats are not only present but imminent and severe. The optional genset ensures long-endurance missions, keeping your vehicle operational for extended periods without external power sources.
While Unplugged Performance hasn’t revealed pricing for these STING upgrades, it’s safe to say they won’t come cheap. But for those seeking a monster-upgraded Cybertruck, price is unlikely to be a major concern. You can pre-order your STING package on the Unplugged Performance website.
