Gallacher later told 404 Media that the email was something of “a joke,” but reaffirmed the agency’s wish to obtain a Cybertruck before other agencies, even if more for “community engagement” than using it as a patrol vehicle.
In other words, we have too much money.
Well I’ve heard Cybertrucks are getting cheap because not many people want them.
Anyone who doesn’t think that the end goal for the Cybertruck isn’t military/police contracts hasn’t really been paying attention to how tech firms grow.
I’m mostly surprised that no US police departments have any of them yet.
Overpriced and underperforming, so definitely military-grade.

They’re trying out in a feeder dystopia first.
Yeah, that seems about right.
Anything to justify running over even more pedestrians than they already do…
Then they could do so with fewer emissions!
Fascists buying crap from an oligarch.
I don’t think that PS1 model of a car will ever look acceptable to me. It’s not a design that grows on you or you get accustomed to. It’s just bad.
Hot take, but this police cybertruck looks pretty rad tbh, putting the obvious real life issues aside tho.
Looks like what “the future” looked like in the 80s and early 90s. Like Total Recall or BttF Pt. 2
Elon basically saw the Robocop action toys from the ‘90s and thought “Yes, I want that to be real”.
Eh. Looks like a generic sci-fi movie reject.
