A California company is advertising ‘tactical response’ Tesla Cybertruck upgrades for police cruisers, including shotgun racks and sirens.

    Well, basically all Elon does derives a ton of money from the government…

    The cybertruck is objectively bad, I see no reason that car would be selected for police use which makes me think the “invisible” hand of the market (ahem, lobbying, bribing, etc) was involved

      Then shouldn’t your objection be with whoever did the selecting?

        I’ve seen too many times when the people doing the selecting do a good job just to be overridden by the paid-for bureaucrat

        But I’m just spitballing here, I have no evidence other than then strong doubt these cars could perform any regular job (they seem to be a poorly planned novelty item)

          look they’ll do fine as long as they have a fleet of ford pickups to pull them out of mud puddles.
