John Adams
this, you can tell OP is a child because he has no idea how the cops operate
Police should just buy up the cheapest car on craigslist for fleet vehicles. I can only imagine how trashy the whole police force would look but god damn would it be cheap to the tax payers.
Ryder Sullivan
Fuck they would actually do this.
>We need to save the environment >Retards vote for it >Lol Tesla police cars >Politicians and Musk get rich and the people pay for it
Owen Fisher
I think electric cars would be better for police, because they're constantly idling their engines, and that puts a lot of wear on an ICE. It's nearly harmless on a battery.
Benjamin Rodriguez
>model s costs $60k >you can buy three prius primes for that money
yeaaaaah no
Brody White
Knowing Musk, he might just give police departments cars for free.
Colton Brooks
>Model S costs 60k >Prius costs 20k >Go with Model S because it's the government's dime and Toyota isn't sliding you money under the table
I don't think you've ever met a politician
Xavier Sanchez
I don't know why more police departments aren't using Priuses. They're cheap, reliable, and spacious.
Xavier Hernandez
>gubment buys a shit ton of teslas >costs a shit ton of money >taxes skyrocket because elon musk is a businessman >people riot in the street
I don't think you've ever paid taxes
Colton Roberts
More importantly, they're slow.

You can't out run a helicopter..or cameras

Do not underestimate the power of California Liberals.

Cant outrun a radio Cant outrun a camera Cant outrun a helicopter
Useless.
Camden Lopez
I think most people would still pull over.
Parker Anderson
thats why they get the model s's for. highway patrol get model s, every other pleb gets prius.
>yfw you get pulled over by a vegan yuppie police cunt who's super smug about his car and fines you for polluting the planet with your ICE
Landon Allen
>Helicopters pollute aswell Time for electric helicopters...
