Elon Musk Deploys Cybertrucks in Los Angeles Amid Wildfires: Elon Musk has deployed Cybertrucks equipped with Starlink terminals and free WiFi across Los Angeles, Malibu, and surrounding areas to serve as power hubs and battery banks amid ongoing wildfires.
These vehicles are stocked with supplies such as fruit and water and are strategically positioned in areas in need. The initiative allows residents to access power and WiFi, helping them receive critical updates and communicate despite grid power outages.
Cybertrucks are also being used by emergency services like Altadena Mountain Rescue for powering essential equipment.
Musk acknowledged the delay in Cybertruck deliveries due to their redeployment for wildfire relief efforts but reassured that new trucks would be delivered soon.
The wildfires have led to mandatory evacuations, with at least 24 fatalities and 16 missing. California Governor Gavin Newsom warned of dangerous winds that could exacerbate the situation, potentially turning the wildfires into the worst natural disaster in U.S. history
