get ready to be nailed by stuck at 100% throttle hunk of low grade stainless on wheels, on taxpayer dollar. pray that it rains and you may live.

Siegfried ,

This car is horribly ugly

dependencyinjection ,

I think it fits the dystopian world we live in perfectly.

vaultdweller013 ,

I cant wait to see a cop fail to catch some Redneck driving the king of all shitboxes because the cop is driving a cybertruck and its litely drizzling outside.

DestroyMegacorps ,

can the cops learn from the toyota war that toyota trucks are VASTLY more reliable and durable than the cybertruck

I hope these skyrocket in popularity. Because I love Elon Musk! Yeah! Definitely! That’s right! That’s absolutely the reason! No others!

Because you’re looking forward to the Detroit of RoboCop?

Jank ,

That’s a pretty optimistic future considering current Detroit.

Fedizen ,

Looking forward to seeing a lot of cops missing fingers

tiefling ,

I personally welcome this new fleet of self-igniting cop cars. It’s such a time saver!

fpslem ,

Any department that actually buys one of these turkeys is going to be very unhappy about the maintenance costs. Can’t park under trees, can’t let it get rained on, and if you’re in a medium-speed accident, the lack of crumple zone will injure your officers at higher rates.

TheRealKuni ,

Can’t park under trees

Well if we’re being fair, that’s a bad idea for all cop cars. Trees might drop very hostile acorns, forcing the officer to unload his gun.

fpslem ,

Trees might drop very hostile acorns

I wish I didn’t know exactly to what you referring.

Link for anyone who hadn’t heard this ridiculous story:

nbcnews.com/…/video-shows-florida-deputy-repeated…

I’ll just add that both officers were such bad shots that they missed the man handcuffed and strapped down in the back of their own squad car. smdh.

TheRealKuni ,

That officer should not have been in that job. He should’ve known his PTSD was too much of an issue.

I still pity him. He heard an acorn hit a car and was convinced he had been shot. Not shot at, shot. He thought he’d been hit by a bullet because an acorn landed on his car. His brain has been fucked by his time in the Army Special Forces.

Fortunately the man being shot at was sitting in a police car. Unlikely they were gonna hit him regardless of aim.

Asifall ,

My first thought was that a couple cops are going to get hurt in traffic accidents and then their union is going to point to the increased injury rate as a reason for further militarization

Cargon ,

I put a quarter in the siren.

So another tax payer handout to Musk?

Man, he is THE welfare Queen

OK I hate the guy and this “vehicle” too, but this is a weird take.

Like if they bought Fords or Hyundais or whatever II wouldn’t consider it a handout; not getting why this would be?

exanime ,

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

AA5B ,

I see no reason that car would be selected

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

exanime ,

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)

Fedizen ,

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

IzzyScissor ,

Because they’re a notoriously bad design that is prone to failing on every front that Tesla claimed they were the ‘cutting edge’ on. They’re just BAD. The only way Tesla is going to sell out of their production line is by forcing someone to buy them, and it looks like it’s the US military.

I wouldn’t think the same thing for Ford F150s, but I DEFINITELY would if suddenly we started hearing about police suddenly buying Fisher Price cars after hearing story after story of how they break down and leave toddlers stranded.

uebquauntbez ,

Do NOT buy these, there’s no US flag on it. /s

RememberTheApollo_ ,

At least they are more fuel efficient than the military MRAPs and APCs they’ve been getting.

/s

SomeGuy69 ,

And so it begins, a billionaire owning the police. Smart move Musk, smart move.

the_crotch ,

You’re gonna be shocked when you learn that the current cop cars are also made by billionaires

WhiteShotgun ,

EMP anyone?

EvacuateSoul ,

Not any less effective against other cars they use.

(for those who don’t know the only way to create an EMP large enough to disable a vehicle is either from a nuclear weapon or exploding a special type of bomb)

vaultdweller013 ,

They meant Electrical Mangling Piece. Just shoot it with a large enough bullet and let the lithium battery stary cooking. Dont even need anything particular powerful either, pretty sure NATO 5.56 would be good enough let alone .308 or .50 BMG
