The Las Vegas Metro Police Department has acquired ten Cybertrucks, with plans to utilize them for light patrol and SWAT duties. Sheriff Kevin McMahill expressed confidence in their capabilities, calling them "badass" and emphasizing safety features. This optimistic view contrasts sharply with the struggles faced by other departments, particularly in California, where Tesla models have shown varied success. Issues such as off-road performance and large size have been significant concerns, leaving some police chiefs skeptical about EVs as the future of patrol cars.
A little over a year on the market, drivers have been finding all kinds of uses for Cybertrucks.
The Vegas Sheriff's attitude is a notable break from his fellow cops across the country, whose experiments using Teslas have failed spectacularly.
In Menlo, California, police chief David Norris noted that Teslas are far from the "patrol cars of the future."
Sheriff Kevin McMahill called them "badass," boasting about their safety and potential as a recruitment tool.
