The Irvine Police Department's purchase of a customized Cybertruck, totaling at least $140,000, has sparked debate over its practicality as a police vehicle.
Sergeant Karie Davies indicated that the Cybertruck is intended more as a publicity vehicle for the DARE program, rather than for active patrol duties.
Elon Musk's support for the Cybertruck as a police vehicle raises questions about its effectiveness in law enforcement roles, despite its tall claims.
Public records reveal the Irvine PD opted for the premium Cyberbeast model, spending an additional $20,000 on law enforcement modifications, such as lights and radios.
