Oops!

I guess nobody thought to test the CEO’s wild claims about the vehicle before accepting delivery.

    I think that if a policing department invests in cybertrucks then it is an indicator that they are already corrupt as hell.

        In the USA, military weapons are so plentiful that the army gives police old ones for free. That’s why police departments have ludicrous MRAPs and things, they’re freebies.

        So, one billionaire bought another billionaire’s toys and handed them to a politically pliable sheriff, in the same spirit as a Roman patrician might throw a particularly theatrical weapon into the Coliseum fighting pit.

    Baddies will be shooting at the battery area. This will get interesting as a “fire fight”

    The only bad part about this is that Elon got paid for it. Cops having slow fragile vehicles is great in my book.

    Well at least this allows them to deploy quickly. From the time you place an order Tesla will have one broken down in your driveway in an hour flat.

    People putting misplaced trust in a product used in life-endangering situations based on hype and false promises from the CEO? I’m shocked! A man with that much money and power must be trustworthy. Frankly, I would like to buy one of his products and give it full control over carrying my family through complex environments at high speeds where failure to perform as promised has a high chance of killing them and others.
