By A.Giron | August 17, 2024

Imagine a vehicle that’s not just built for the road but for any scenario life throws at you–whether it’s a rugged off-road adventure, a high-stakes tactical mission, or surviving an apocalypse. This vision is now a reality with the introduction of STING, an extraordinary suite of upgrades for the Tesla Cybertruck. Developed in a groundbreaking partnership between Archimedes Defense, a leader in high-power solutions for government and defense, and Unplugged Performance, the premier Tesla customization firm, STING is designed to be the ultimate survival vehicle.

Pioneering Collaboration for Unmatched Performance

The collaboration between Archimedes Defense and Unplugged Performance is more than just a partnership–it’s a synergy of expertise that has pushed the boundaries of what a vehicle can do. By merging Archimedes’ high-power technology with Unplugged Performance’s innovative Tesla upgrades, the STING packages deliver unparalleled off-grid capabilities, robust occupant protection, and cutting-edge technology tailored for the most extreme conditions.

“Archimedes is thrilled to partner with Unplugged Performance to install its genset package and bolt-on armor to the Cybertruck,” said Arsineh Hebert, President of Archimedes Defense. “Together, we’re bringing a game-changing product to customers who demand the best in off-grid recharging and vehicle protection.”

Ben Schaffer, CEO of Unplugged Performance, shared this enthusiasm: “UP.FIT has already set the standard with our police Cybertrucks, but with STING, in collaboration with Archimedes, we’re pushing the limits even further. These military-grade Cybertrucks are designed to be more extreme, with enhanced protection and unmatched capabilities.”

STING Package Variants: Ready for Every Challenge

The STING suite comes in three distinct variants, each engineered to meet specific operational needs. Whether you’re a government agency requiring a high-performance vehicle for tactical operations or an adventure enthusiast needing a reliable off-road companion, there’s a STING package for you.

1. STING Baja: The Ultimate Off-Road Warrior

For those who crave off-road excitement, the STING Baja variant is the perfect choice. It builds on Unplugged Performance’s INVINCIBLE® off-road package, integrating Starlink connectivity for seamless communication even in the most remote locations. But the real game-changer is the AMP Drive G125TM aviation-derived 800V genset mounted in the frunk. This compact, powerful unit runs on multiple fuels, including Jet A, JP-8, Diesel, and Biodiesel, allowing the Cybertruck to be supercharged at up to 125kW. The Baja variant is designed for those who want to push their limits, with the ability to rescue-charge other vehicles using a NACS charging cable, making it a must-have for off-grid explorers.

2. STING Protector: Enhanced Safety for Moderate Threat Environments

Safety is paramount with the STING Protector variant, designed for those operating in environments with moderate threats. In addition to the INVINCIBLE® off-road package, this version offers bolt-on, bolt-off external steel armor plating capable of withstanding 7.62mm assault rifle rounds from critical angles. Whether you’re a private individual or part of a corporate or government team, the Protector variant ensures that you and your vehicle remain safe. The genset is optional, providing flexibility depending on your operational needs.

3. STING APC: Unmatched Protection for High-Threat Operations

When it comes to the most dangerous missions, the STING APC variant stands unmatched. This top-of-the-line package includes advanced protection against IEDs and mines, with armor capable of withstanding 14.5mm heavy machine gun rounds. Designed for high-threat environments, the APC variant ensures that you stay safe even during the most intense operations. With an optional genset to extend operational endurance, the APC is ideal for long-duration deployments where reliability and protection are non-negotiable.

Setting a New Standard in Off-Grid and Protective Vehicle Solutions

The STING packages represent a new era in vehicle technology, combining the best of Archimedes Defense’s high-power solutions with Unplugged Performance’s innovative Tesla upgrades. These packages not only offer unmatched off-grid capabilities but also provide superior protection for occupants, making them the ultimate choice for anyone who needs a vehicle that can handle the toughest challenges.

For those eager to get their hands on one of these apocalypse-ready Cybertrucks, preorders for the STING packages are now open through Archimedes Defense. Additionally, police-configured Cybertrucks are available directly from UP.FIT, and Unplugged Performance’s INVINCIBLE® parts can be ordered separately for those looking to upgrade their existing vehicles.
