Strictly speaking, a technical is a civilian vehicle with any weapon mounted on it, for use as a combat vehicle.
'Pickup truck with a machinegun' is iconic though, because such vehicles usually are rugged, have good off road handling, the load beds offer space to put and handle a weapon, and machineguns are both useful and relatively cheap to purchase, maintain and operate.
But it could also carry a grenade thrower or missile rack/tube, for example.
Which means that yes, that cybertruck is an absolutely shit technical, low range, expensive, useless load bed...
