Misbar’s Analysis
MENA: The image of the truck in the picture does look similar to the Tesla Cybertruck.
However, we conducted a reverse image search and found that in the original photo, the truck used by the Taliban does not resemble the Tesla Cybertruck.
The image was digitally manipulated. The Taliban seems to mostly use Toyota trucks.
