- The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Service adds 10 Cybertrucks Tesla free of charge to its fleet.
- Some of them will serve as Swat vehicles with specialized modifications for all-terrain.
It was just a matter of time before the Tesla Cybertruck was made in the police. This moment arrived with the confirmation of the Las Vegas metropolitan police service that it adds 10 cybertrucks to its fleet and that they will not only be used for promotional activities.

In this case, however, the Metropolitan Police Service in Las Vegas stresses that the 10 cybertrucks are “given by an anonymous supporter”, avoiding any billing linked to the budget.

A pair of rendering show what the modified cybertrucks could look like, and even if it is difficult to stand out in Las Vegas among all the flashing lights and madness, these teslas will undoubtedly do heads.

It is also a huge recruitment tool. »»
