Finally a vehicle that captures the full essence of policing:

-Doesn’t do the job it’s supposed to

-Boasts that it is strong and can handle any situation but stops functioning at the slightest challenge to its abilities

-Supposed to be very safe, is actually incredibly dangerous

-Claims to be the toughest/bravest/most groundbreaking out of all its competition, but is actually one of the worst amongst competitors

-Poorly designed and equipped to do the job expected of it

-Very few people actually feel safe around it

-Extremely high budget item that does very little

I do wonder how long that battery will last if they have it on all day to keep perfect internal temp

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

Good, then I know they'll be ticketing people where there's electric car parking.

Critical support to Tesla in their plans of sabotaging police

[–] CommunistBear@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Hell, maybe the cars will take off a few officers' hands in the process

[–] booty@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Full support, give all cops shitty cars that will probably kill them

[–] POKEMONGOTOTHEGULAG@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They are more likely to kill other people with this piece of shit than themselves

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

they were more likely to kill you anyways because they are cops

[–] theposterformerlyknownasgood@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is a good thing. Giving the police a car that doesn't work is a kind of police abolition. The only problem is that the doors might kill suspects

[–] NuraShiny@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The only issue is that they will just buy another car as well, wasting more tax payer money.

Money spent in internal US military is money not spent in external US military

100% in support of cops blowing their budget on these broken-ass pieces of shit

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

I was going to say I'm all for the cops using a vehicle so unreliable a software update could bring a police chase to a screeching halt.

Cops crashing and the lack of crumple points liquefies them.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

The downside is that they're going to ask for a 100% budget increase to replace the existing fleet.

for use from here to Mars

Good idea! I can definitely get behind blasting cops in cybertrucks into space

[–] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

I hope some cop gets their hand chopped off.

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

Much like the police, they're good at hitting minorities.

[–] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

will only work to run over protesters

[–] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

Nah it can't off road that much

[–] Ocommie63@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 1 year ago

Cant wait to see this break down 😁😁😁

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

Can't wait for a cop to get in a high speed chase with another cybertruck and when they crash this happens:

[–] Tripbin@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

I, for one, appreciate them making it easier to disable police cars.

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

This is the worst thing I've seen in at least 8 minutes.

[–] MayoPete@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do these still rust if it rains on them 🤔

[–] WeedReference420@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

and short out when they go through a large puddle

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

they also short out when it rains because the seal under the front windshield is not good at doing the one thing its designed to do so the water pours into the electronics behind the frunk

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

When you break the law, the cops run after you with rubber hoses frantically blowing this:
