Watching it 'briefly serve as a boat' before sinking in the harbour would be priceless

The combination of police constantly causing unnecessary car chases and the lack of crumple zones in the Cybertruck *chefs kiss*.

Hm, on the one hand this will thwart a lot of cops. But on the other, it will almost certainly hurt others in so doing. I'm torn.

If a cop tries to pull you over, just drive through a puddle and you’ll get away scot free

How soon before the first cop shoots his car for "resisting"?

Quite frankly, police departments should be buying the least expensive vehicles that can fulfill the requirements, not wasting taxpayer money on shit like this.

Police departments should be disbanded

The chase scenes in movies are gonna be HILARIOUS

ah yeah, because we definitely need cops speeding in these in residential areas

Judging by how these have done so far speeding is probably the last thing they'll be able to do in these

Please let them speed tbh, cause they'll be more likely to kill themselves

and the people around them.......🍅

Flee by using a real 4x4 on loose or steep surface. Resist the temptation to stop and look and laugh at the Poleesse skidding helplessly.
