the president of a California-based company assured me yesterday they are 'indeed working with police departments' to create fleets of militarized Cybertruck cop cars
my look into disaster capitalism's latest batshit boutique industry for @popsci.bsky.socialwww.popsci.com/technology/c...
they're actually *so* heavy they bypass a lot of regulations bc normally a similarly weighted vehicle would be semi industrial like a tow truck or something, not just a commercial car
Quite frankly, police departments should be buying the least expensive vehicles that can fulfill the requirements, not wasting taxpayer money on shit like this.
