Car was bought as part of the drug abuse education program that uses flashy vehicle to make police seem approachable
A police department in California has purchased a flashy new piece of equipment to impress local children: a $150,000 Tesla Cybertruck.
In a Facebook video featuring lightning graphics, the Irvine police department said it believed the vehicle to be “the first police cybertruck in the nation”. It’s unlikely to be in any high-speed chases: police say it will mostly be used by officers for school programs, though it is able to respond to emergencies.
