That police dept spent 60k dollars on that used model s. Made modifications to qualify it for a patrol car which costed another 20k dollars.. Total of 80k dollars while there are off the shelf patrol ready cars at half the cost.
To be fair the previous shift forgot to plug the car in to recharge, so it has run for 10+ hours straight.
But still if were a gas car, the tank can be topped of in 5 minutes before the second shift, instead of idling at a charging station for 30 minutes. The readiness is just not the same.
At that time, the Fremont Police Sergeant monitoring the pursuit gave orders to terminate to ensure public safety.
At no time did the battery of the Tesla become a factor in our ability to pursue the suspect or perform our duties. This situation, while embarrassing, is no different from cases where a patrol car runs low (or even dry) of fuel.
The pursuit spanned approximately 10 miles and at times exceeded 110 mph. Regular updates regarding the speed, location, general traffic and roadway conditions were provided by the second officer in the pursuit. Just before the pursuit ended at 11:13 p.m., the officer driving the Tesla responsibly notified his cover units he was going to have to back out of the pursuit because his battery was running low. Just after they passed the Montague Expressway exit, the suspect drove on the left shoulder of the road to pass a vehicle. At that time, the Fremont Police Sergeant monitoring the pursuit gave orders to terminate to ensure public safety. All three units deactivated their emergency equipment and returned to normal driving conditions. At that point, the Tesla was driven to a nearby charging station and the additional Fremont units returned to the City. CHP located the unoccupied vehicle in the area of I 680 and the Berryessa exit. At no time did the battery of the Tesla become a factor in our ability to pursue the suspect or perform our duties.

They were lucky the suspect gave up and it did I not develop into a prolonged pursuit. But still the officer was concerned enough to call other cars to take his place. He was reported even saying that he might not get back to the station if he could not find a place to charge. And while the car is being charged it is not patrolling.
All That for almost twice the price. And they bought the Tesla used. Compare to new duty ready gas cars.
It’s basically a solution looking for problem and ended up causing more problems. Serves no purpose other than virtue signaling and enrich the bureaucrats at the cost of tax payers.

很有意思的一件事，发生在湾区费利蒙的680号州际公路，当时的情况是一名美国警察
发现了一个嫌犯驾驶着一辆汽车行驶在湾区费利蒙的680号州际公路上，然后就开着车
去追了，当时在追捕的途中这个警察驾驶的汽车是特斯拉，最高的速度跑到了一百八十迈，结果没有追上对方。
标题我都已经说了，所以我也不卖关子了，美国警察没有追上嫌犯的原因就是说在追到一半的时候特斯拉竟然没电了，就这样停在半道上看着对方开车着远去，而他一点点办法都没有。
至于说当时这个警局买这辆特斯拉的原因，就是说觉得用起来比较经济实惠，然后就直接买了。
但我想说这警察局也是没有脑子啊，谁特么竟然还用特斯拉当公车啊，还是警察局，这能跟燃油车相比吗，两三百公里还行，再远一点估计直接就被甩下了。
马斯克还不骂人啊
做了个广告
这就是逗啊
故意放走的
假新闻.加州警察是没有开特斯拉的
几乎所有的MSM都报道了
