Massive fail. No drone integration! LOL!
LEO use is what the Cyber Truck excels at, and it looks really Bad A**!
Acceleration that will outdo any sports car, even with one being towed behind it!

Looks like someone in the LV police department has more money than brains. It will be interesting so see how this plays out.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Personally, I'm not a fan of designs that look like what a 3rd grader drew, but each to his own. At least the initial cost was zero for the LVMPD.

Yay, more cops engaging in high-speed pursuit chases in vehicles designed to go fast in a straight line. There is no way that could cause any problems.

Ha, I guess another example of the "best tools" eh?

How did you not see that one coming.

The vehicle that flopped in the marketplace will "donated" all over the place. SpaceX is placing thousands of vehicles with unsold cybertrucks.

What are they preparing for? Seems like overkill.

They were donated to the LVMPD back in February by Ben and Felicia Horowitz. Ben Horowitz is the Horowitz of Andreessen Horowitz and is a long-time donor to the LVMPD.

While it's doubtful that the LVMPD would have purchased the Minecraft Avalanche on their own, they are not going to turn down free ones.

It reminds me of federal weapons programs where state and local governments can use their federal grant money to purchase weapons of mass destruction for little to no cost under the auspices of "national security" concerns and I see it coming for drones as soon as T-Jr has his way.
