No, no, you are doing it all wrong. The perk doesn't kick in until you reach Billionaire status. Capiche?

Well, since you didn't specify currency, I'm claiming that my massive (pile of Vietnamese) Dong qualifies me for the Billionaire Club.

although by disclosing it, I appear to have just broken the first rule of Billionaire Club.

When I was in the Middle East last year, I had 50,000 Iraqi Dinars in my pocket. Does that count as having a lot of money?

Being rich doesn’t make you a good person

Another question I have is about the rear seat…how does it have any headroom?

According to Car and Driver, it can fit up to 6 people:
  • Headroom: 41.6″ front, 39″ rear
  • Legroom: 41″ front, 40.9″ rear
  • Shoulder room: 63″ front, 62″ rear
  • Hip room front/rear: 57.2″

Also, it would be silly and financially irresponsible for a huge PD to change out thousands of cruisers for EV's. But for smaller cities, it makes complete sense to start adding them in without ripping out the existing fleet. Like the City of Fremont or the San Mateo Sherriff's dept where their detectives use a combination of Hybrids and EV's.

Now the Cyber Truck at this point makes no sense to me other than a personal vehicle. I don't envision it anytime soon doing anything other than that
EVs for local PD's make a ton of sense. If they're camped out in a speed trap or just managing city streets, an EV will be tons more efficient than a traditional ICE.

Doesn't make you a bad person but is completely irrelevant to this discussion. How about we talk about the product. Specs, tech, how it DRIVES. Or do you care about any of that? I suspect no.

Police cruisers have to run so many accessories---- it would drain EV batteries realllll quick.

That's why PD's have started purchasing Model Y's for cruisers. They are perfect for patrolling, traffic enforcement, and detectives travelling to crime scenes. Patrol cars spend a ton of time idling, which we know, uses lots of gas.

When a pursuit happens, cities will turn over the pursuit to the next city. Plus, nobody is saying (at least not me) cities should get rid of their Interceptors. BTW, many of Ford Interceptors I'm seeing in my city are hybrids. For State police, by all means they should continue with ICE interceptors, especially for Highway Patrol, who may drive hundreds of miles a day

It's not accessories that drain the HV battery. An average HV battery from a Lightning can run power a house for 3 days. It's moving a heavy EV that drains the battery pack

Thats crazy. How can the headroom only be 2.6 inches smaller in the rear with that roofline?!

Then why do you keep bringing up how rich he is? All of that is fine but you need to do that too.

If you had just accepted that I and others don’t think much of Elon Musk this wouldn’t even be being discussed now.
