Tesla Cybertruck

Tanks and stuff on batteries, yeah right. Guarantee the Armed Forces are laughing off EVs at least for their theoretical use.
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.

Police departments do have token Model 3s and other EVs for doughnut runs and all, but not for real duty

Please post the data that shows this won’t be more expensive to repair body damage on than a typical car then. If you have any knowledge or experience in body repair, all you have to do is look at it.
And in the one making bold claims?
Not happening. Just doesn’t make economic sense. Seen a Tesla semi lately? You won’t because they don’t make any economic sense.

Completely forgot about the Semi. I guess we will eat crow when Elon predicted 50,000 units of semis by end of 2024 too. Doubt they have even built 100 yet.

Might there come a day when charges last so long that its feasible? Perhaps, but nowhere close to today. Again we know that police departments don't use Teslas now, if they don't replace Chargers with Model Ss why would they buy CyberTrucks?

Police for example have soooo much crap hooked up to their cars light bars, surveillance, weapons, gear, etc..... they have heavvvvy duty alternators and batteries to ensure it all works, etc. No feasible way for EV to replace that anytime soon, just the accessories would drain the batteries realllllly quick.

There's good reason police cars idle so much.

Exactly...Tesla semi makes no sense, only reason a company would buy them is to forward a green image or to receive some sort of tax benefit that made them economically viable.

You're not going to find a state police agency or other large force replacing ICE police cruisers with Teslas. My local PD has some Teslas, but they patrol in Chargers, Explorers and Tahoes.

The South Pasedena police department is a very small force in a small location and that makes sense for them...they have very lightly used cruisers that sit a lot more than they are out running around. I bet they have 15 cars.

No, they have a whole fleet of them LoL. Just because things don't fit in your worldview you have to come up with some excuse like calling it virtue signalling. I'm sure it makes you feel really good when people put labels on people who like to drive trucks. Same thing you are doing. With all due respect

I saw the review posted a few pages back, but didnt see the podcast. Camissa goes into greater depth on his time spent with the Cybertruck. An engineers/tech geeks wet dream it seems. Definitely worth the watch if you have the almost 90 minutes of time to do so.
