The Tesla Cybertruck would help improve security presence in tourist sports like the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard, Burj Khalifa, La Mer, and Jumeirah Beach Residence, says Commander-in-Chief Maj Gen. Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri. But, beyond the luxury, Khalifa wants the Cybertruck because of its extra-tough steel exoskeleton ideal for extra wear and tear even in off-road situations.
