The La Crescent Police Department deployed a Tesla Model Y squad car, marking Houston County's first use of an all-electric vehicle in law enforcement.
Police Chief Luke Ahlschlager noted that the Model Y has proven popular with officers, offering features like individual profiles and phone key access.
Ahlschlager highlighted the vehicle's impressive performance, comparing it to a 'souped up golf cart' with regenerative braking that enhances battery life.
City Council's Jason Ludwigson announced funding for sustainability efforts, highlighting a $12,000 Carbon Reduction Program grant awarded for the city's electric vehicle initiatives.
