Needs flavor!
Yeah, I guess that's where a wrap comes in but they are expensive and not as durable as a proper paint job. IMO
Just a downside although many upsides, I guess.

Construction, police and military. And other applications. You'll be wrong, will you admit it when you are?
Already in the works

I don't know ya'll.
Cybertruck looks pretty tough.
I can see them being used for public service.
Will look even meaner with police lights and push bumper on the front aka "Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do...". Lol

Not happening. Just doesn’t make economic sense. Seen a Tesla semi lately? You won’t because they don’t make any economic sense.

As for actual average cost that's not publicity available AFAIK that's why I'm not making sweeping statements.

Common sense is police using ICE vehicles, ask police across America what kind of cruisers they'd rather have. They still miss their (big, BOF, indestructible) Crown Vics for Pete's sake.
I'm sorry but that's just ludicrous. These will be all over rich residential areas of the United States, and that's it. I'm sure it will do well, but this isn't a work truck or a police car.

In several cities in the Bay Area including the City of Fremont, they are extensively using Model Y's as police cruisers. The department and officers love them, a Model Y Performance will eat the lunch of Charger SRT, they don't need much maint, and are cheap to run. But, if I was in the California Highway Patrol, it wouldn't be a wise choice. I would stick to the Police Interceptor SUV's they are currently using

There is going to be so much crow served.
F-150 average price is $50,000 before dealer shenanigans. Given Tesla's ability to drive down cost and price you don't think they can get there with the mainstream trim? Interesting.

Jane Doe charges at home every night and never uses all the range, great.
Using EVs let alone a CyberTruck for military and police duty, ain't gonna happen.

Lets put it this way....why would police departments, contractors, etc buy a CyberTruck?
As someone who owns a business that operates vehicles I can tell you its all about money. Its not about whats cool, its about what will operate with the function we need at the lowest cost. An EV little delivery vehicle etc makes sense if you have someplace to park and charge it, I don't. I have two Ford Transit Connects and they sit in an office garage. Nowhere to charge them.
Why would a police department buy $80,000 CyberTrucks? How would it benefit them? They're expesnive, require sitting for 8+ hours to charge, expensive to repair and insure, they are huge and difficult to manuever...why?

You know I'm optimistic about Tesla, but I'm also realistic
