Nation’s largest fleet of police Cybertrucks to patrol Las Vegas
The nation’s largest police fleet of Tesla Cybertrucks is set to begin patrolling the streets of Las Vegas in November. The fleet of 10 Cybertrucks was a gift from a billionaire venture capitalist for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill sees the addition of the trucks as part of a larger effort to enhance the department’s technology. The donation has raised concerns from government oversight experts about private donors’ influence on public departments and the boost to the Tesla brand. The department is the latest U.S. city to turn to Tesla models even as Elon Musk’s electric vehicle company has face blowback because of his work earlier in the year to advance the president’s political agenda and downsize the federal government.
