I am positive that the government does want armored vehicles. But like I said before and like it says in the article, this was a call out out to all automakers by the federal government during the Biden administration. This isn’t something Trump started when he got into office. Further, it’s important to note that the article claimed that Tesla was the only car manufacturer that showed an interest.

I’d like to see the document because it’s not clear from the article if this was a proposal or an order. And all of my reasoning for it not being a thing from before this article was posted still apply.
