Criminals expected to counter Tesla truck with water guns and driving offroad

A California company has retrofitted a third-party tactical version of Tesla's Cybertruck for the police, though it's not clear if this is really the vehicle officers will want to use., which has made police cars out of Tesla EVs since 2020. On the surface, the Cybertruck is certainly not the most obvious candidate for law enforcement, but it does boast a mostly bulletproof exterior, good speed and range, and plenty of space.

UP.FIT's upgrades to the Cybertruck, which it calls"the most epic tactical vehicle on earth," include the typical red-and-blue lights, sirens, and police force livery, but also some more high-tech items like mounted spotlights and a 21-button remote to customize the siren and lights. In addition, there are plenty of optional upgrades, including even better bulletproofing, armor, Starlink internet access, and a"future proof package" that includes fleet management software, prepaid maintenance, and other kinds of support.

Compared to the kinds of armored vehicles used by SWAT teams in the US today, which in extreme cases include tanks and APCs, the police Cybertruck may even look a little tame. Though, Tesla's electric truck has a decent amount of problems that could certainly complicate its performance in a police setting. For instance,as one user discovered when he tried and failed to drive his Cybertruck up a hill that other vehicles could climb. The same user also discovered that offroading without removing the truck's wheel fairings can cause them to break off entirely.
