Las Vegas Metro Police received ten Unplugged Performance–upfitted Tesla Cybertrucks configured as SWAT-capable cruisers and equipped like standard police vehicles within the Cybertruck exoskeleton.

The vehicles were donated by billionaire Ben Horowitz shortly after a separate Cybertruck exploded outside Trump International Hotel on January 1, killing a suspect. The department also plans to deploy drone technology to triangulate gunshots. Multiple law enforcement agencies cite Tesla vehicles for cost, performance and affordability.
