The Tesla Wildebeest, commonly called the Wildebeest or just the Beast, is a four-wheel drive military automobile produced by Tesla Motors. The vehicle was designed specifically for the armed forces of the Southwest Republic, due to the number of different environments the armed forces operates in. The design of the vehicle protects its occupants from small arms fire, mines, IED's (improvised explosive device), artillery fragments, electromagnetic weapons, and NBC weapons. The Wildebeest is completely amphibious, with the ability to go 40 mph in the water.
