You have to be able to control the spotlights from the handle on the inside of the vehicle. They move up/down, side/side.

surely this isn't the year 1982, and we have electronically controlled units now?

Those wheels and tires look like they can take a lot of abuse and endure rough surfaces.

Would be cool to see some video footage of them doing rough Baja terrain racing off-road.

…there are cheaper EV options, with more range.

silverado WT for example. With Fleet perks possibly..

But not very flashy or no “bullet proof” hype behind it..

locals who have never ever driven or own EVs and how much one can save.

It cost Irvine taxpayers $153k for the rolling conversation starter. I'd love to know who pitched this idea to the city council.

You don't know how public budgets work do you? It's use it or lose it. Better to spend it on this than piss it away reoutfitting all cars with new tires one week after reoutfitting all cars with new tires.

Donut Gift Certificates for all the staff..

maybe even 6months worth each…

I bet they wish they could do that instead of driving around in endless circles to use up their gasoline quota. Now with the CT they'll be driving around in circles to use up their electricity quota.

You might be surprised how much the nicer ICE powered police rigs cost these days. They are not cheap.
