State Department removes mention of 'armored Teslas' from its 2025 procurement list, replaces it with 'armored electric [View all]

[KPN]

The State Department has scrubbed mention of armored Teslas from its 2025 procurement forecast. The procurement document previously contained a line item that read: "Armored Tesla (Production Units)" — a reference to products from Elon Musk's electric vehicle company, Tesla. It was listed as a five-year contract and valued at $400 million, making it the biggest item on the list.

The document was titled "Department of State Procurement Forecast Year 2025 (Revised 12/23/2024)." The Tesla line item had last been revised on December 13.

As of Wednesday night at 9:12 p.m. EST, the line item has been revised. It now reads "Armored Electric Vehicles." It's still listed as a five-year contract worth $400 million. The document is now called "Department of State Procurement Forecast Year 2025."
