LOS ANGELES -- In response to devastating wildfires in Los Angeles County, Tesla has donated several Cybertrucks to assist the Altadena station of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, KRON reported.

The trucks will serve as battery banks to provide backup power and free Wi-Fi through Starlink connectivity, aiding residents and first responders impacted by power outages caused by the Eaton Fire, according to the report.

“This is essential for our public information officers,” Los Angeles Fire Department Captain Adam Van Gerpen told KCAL. “And for our incident commanders, even for our strike teams who are out there trying to communicate. We have radio communications, but this will enable cell phone and wireless communication.”

Altadena, located just north of Pasadena, has experienced widespread disruptions, including power outages and infrastructure damage. Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced on X that the donated Cybertrucks will act as mobile base stations, providing essential services to affected areas, according to the report. . .

I seriously doubt that is a big enough write off to matter.

Oh, that was my sarchastic joke in response to AOU's sarchastic "I'm pretty sure they aren't gonna get looted for scrap metal, if not set ablaze by anti-Twatter antifags. "

At the time, the lack of CyberTruck sales seemed to be a problem for Elon and I was inferring this was his way of unloading them, help the people, get the praise, take the insurance after they get trashed by lefties. Inventory reduction.

Yes, Elon wouldn't care about a few million bucks.
