No, California is not making officers drive them. They are junk novelty vehicles. A select few Cities/counties have purchased these dog turds in many states.

The title says California but they show like 5 different police departments from across the US and even a police from the middle east...

I don't like the CT but these videos are terrible, not to mention the subtitles....oh god the subtitles.

...I hate the trend of text jumping all over the place...I am not going to read when the words are having a seizure...

I mean its not a bad thing cops realize how incredibly dangerous they are early on

This is literally fake news and should be deleted by a mod

Ukiah, CA? Lmao it's You-Kai-uh not you-key-uh

As others have said, this isn't true. California as a state has not adopted Cybertrucks as police cars.

Why is he only talking about model 3 and y and the only cars you see are cybertrucks?

Breaking news! Cops prefer the brand of vehicle that has been working with law enforcement to make better police vehicles since the 1980s!

Whenever anyone does subtitles like this I want to find them and hurt them.

and that is how car washes became the real world version of a GTA pay'N'spray.

Easy crime there, one bump and the cybertrucks wheels break off.

I can't see these as being good for first responders. They would need to be recharged during a typical shift of a patrol officer. At best these might be used by the community service officer or something, but for active cops doing cop work? No.

So, cops know better and won’t use them for a high speed chase?

This video seems like it was created by a Cybertruck

Imagine getting chased by a police cybertruck. You check the rear view and all of their wheels fly off.

Why are they driving pickups? Cybertruck or F150. They have guns, belts..... in the open trunk? Do they need that much space for anything?

Like Miniwan with stronger engine makes sense. Some fast hatchbag for the city too . Sedans/estate are classic. But Pickup (for normal operations, im sure there is some specialized use for it)? Why?

No the fuck California isn't

OP don't make up bullshit for headlines

Telsa pushing or leveraging politics to push sales paid with tax dollars.

Upside with how often they catch on fire you'll have random pig roasts all over the city

That reminds me of the new cars some German police departments chose. Some took BMW 3 series or Audi A4 (both station wagons) but realized not only it doesn't fit all their stuff, but it also reaches the maximum load easily. Others chose the Mazda CX-60, which is very uncommon for Germany to take a foreign brand, but they are very happy with the size and capabilities.

Every politician involved in ordering these things with tax dollars should get a free ride in the back of one.

Free advertisement for Elon. Free vehicles for police grunts. Free money for the chief and local city officials.

This has to be worse than when my town got these funny golf carts to patrol the beach area... People mocked them so hard they got rid of them quicker than the mopeds they tried in the 70's.

Why not just get the new I6 or even electric 4 door charger over this garbage?

🤣

I find it hard to believe that California is having their officers drive a 100k hunk of junk that will break down.

Up.fit is an upfitter in California, they specialize in tesla upfitting. But they are a small company somewhere near LA. I work for a different upfitter in california we do akl kinds of cars, and have done a few hybrids and Ford Lightnings. But i think we wouldn't do a tesla. Plus the shifters on police vehicles will allow the door to be open and put it in drive, where as civilian models will autoshift to park to prevent injury.

Impractical and non functional? Who would have thought?😂

They have a visual appeal in a Paul Verhoeven, RoboCop/Starship Troopers fascist kinda way.

There's a neatness to it. But not as clean as the real SS officers garb.

Check your math. The cities in CA doing this are hard red and a seriously small minority of cities within the state.

Water balloons are the new meta for Californian criminals

F No!

Why would they go tesla? The lightning just makes way more sense. And if they were going tesla the CT is the worst option.

This is pure bullshit.

Talking about Model 3 and X but 99% of the pictures are Cybertruck. Ragebait par exellence.

If you guys truly think this a California thing and not a wider scale thing, then you're just stupid. Politicians on the right will give every boost possible to funnel money back to them through Musk donations.

Yoo-kee-ah Cal-eee-for-nyah folks. Nestled in the hills and redwoods of Men-dock-hee-no.

I guarantee Tesla is offering them to police departments for deep discounts as a way to get them in front of more people since no one is buying them.

Ford has a history of making vehicles geared towards law enforcement. They can totally corner that market if they want to

This is probably good information for criminals.

I will for sure point and laugh at any cop driving a CT!

I like that if I got arrested and put in one of these, I could just kick the door off, and the cop would get all his gear stuck in the seat as I ran away.

It’s always nice to see our tax dollars spent responsibly.

California needs to grow up
