Elon Musk deploys cybertrucks as Wi-Fi and aid station in LA wildfire zones.

Elon Musk has deployed Tesla Cybertrucks equipped with Starlink satellite internet to serve as mobile Wi-Fi and aid stations in areas affected by wildfires in Los Angeles and Malibu. This initiative involves using Cybertrucks as mobile base stations to provide power to Starlink Internet terminals in regions without connectivity.

Musk has apologized for delays in Cybertruck deliveries in California, explaining that the vehicles are needed for this emergency response. Additionally, these deployments are intended to provide not just internet access but also free snacks and drinks to the affected communities. This response comes as part of a broader effort to address the communication and support needs in areas devastated by the wildfires, with plans to position these trucks in a grid pattern where they are most needed.
