How long till their batteries explode?
Depends, when's it supposed to rain?
Imagine being a cop, doing your best To Serve and Protect impression, only to have your car lock you inside and incinerate you, at a time of its choosing.
Or at a time of the choosing of the one rich dude who has root on all the cars.
I hope these were donated.
Donating cybertrucks almost feels like a way to sabotage the police. Almost.
They were (I messed up posting and didn't link to the article which explains this)
Wow did US police learn nothing with the Explody Crown Vics? Gonna be hilarious when these guys fall apart during a chase. The "perp" will just need to drive through a puddle.
Was the crown vic explody? I know the Pinto was because of how the gas tank was built, and the Crown Vic had a bunch of recalls because it was just stress tested that much by nature of being commonly used by cops and taxi companies but I don't recall the crown vic having major flaws like that.
Yes they suffered the same issue as the Pinto, Explody from rear ending.

First time im hearing of it as well. I even had a CVPI for a short time and was impressed with the build quality
It’s just the chase. It’s the “defensive” driving maneuvers and the getting bumped by a beater that will get officers cooked in an unopenable tin can.
This is straight out of Reno 911
I can't think of a better group to force to suffer using a Tesla than a bunch of pigs.
I guess they gotta do something with all that inventory nobody wants to purchase. Keep that stock price up.
I guess it's also an easy way to advertise.
just ride out into the desert, these things get hung up on napkins for fuck sake.
I... presume the warning sirens have been replaced with a clown horn honking sound?
i hope they explode
Right in front of Trump tower?! Stop, I can only get so hard. 😩
Waste of taxpayer.funds
The ten vehicles were fully funded through private donations.
Those private donations could have done better, but at least it wasn’t tax dollars.
I still think many tax dollars were used..
Tax deductible donations, no doubt.
Hahahahahahahaha hahahahahaha!
Hahahahahahahaha hahahahahaha!
Classic idiots supporting other idiots with idiocy. Have fun with that! I would have gone with Mclarens personally, but you do you LV
Oh my god it's so fucking pathetic to choose cybertrucks I didn't even think of what else they could have bought.
Do they glue the handcuffs on the perpetrators?
I hope they all have to drive through large puddles.
fuck will they lock people in those?
Not a good look.
I'm gonna laugh when they start losing fingers to the doors being slammed on their hands.
So one freak downpour and they will all malfunction.
Hey dude can you please wait like a half an hour? I gotta charge my car if we're gonna have a pursuit...
We already knew cops arent smart or in any way serving for the American people, or informed about laws, this gives them the perfect vehicle to match.
Yikes
I’m sure the police will notice that crime suddenly only happens when it rains.
They probably didn't spring for the 6k clear coat.
Does it rain in Vegas though? Sorry, never been there.
Not frequently, but when it does it causes flash flooding frequently, just like other deserts.
