Although Irvine police said they won’t use the Cybertruck as a patrol car, the police department didn’t rule out other uses should the need arise.
A police department in Southern California says it has the country’s first Tesla Cybertruck for police use, but the unusual vehicle won’t see much action.
The Irvine Police Department unveiled the purchase Tuesday in a splashy video on social media, including Facebook and X. The price tag: $153,175.03, including the installation of emergency equipment.
The police department said its Cybertruck would have a limited role: jazzing up anti-drug events at schools through the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program.
Honestly, for a promotional event it’s not the worst thing ever. The kids will all come over and oogle it.
The army landed an Apache in the middle of our track in high school. A cybertruck’s practically a bargain comparatively
I must object to the comparison of a rare and interesting flying killing machine with a mass-produced pointy truck that works sometimes. Irvine PD is lame.
Odds are that single helicopter landing cost more than this.
Yeah but that is usually part of their training, at the very least it is for jet flyovers.
