Las Vegas Police to begin using Cybertruck patrol vehicles - donated by Ben Horowitz & wife

[Cyber Man]

Tesla has hundreds and hundreds of unsold 2024 Cybertruck's currently in inventory….

Hundreds and hundreds of unsold trucks, lol? What’s your source? Yes, there are some 2024 FS models that are unsold. Even though Tesla model year doesn’t matter, most people still think it matters. Why would anybody buy 2024 FS when 2025 non FS is $20K cheaper AND AWD qualifies for tax credit? That doesn’t mean 100s of 100s of 2024 CTs are unsold! Tesla sold more Cybertrucks than any EV trucks combined in 2024. The source is all over the board in this forum. Now please don’t say it’s because of the novelty. ?

Please don’t add more to the FUD. We are already dealing with all the hate from politics.

10 CTs to LA police, and a few to LA fires, and the conclusion is that Tesla is getting rid of hundreds of unsold CTs? I guess no good deed goes unpunished! ?‍

Checking inventory on Tesla’s website using various zip codes around the country. Yes, it’s in the hundreds.

Tesla, if you can’t sell them, donate and write it off…

I can confirm Cyberbeast FSD in Vegas is almost perfect. Rode around for a week in it and it was amazing. Nothing like the issues I've seen here on the east coast.

Also the @up.fit and @Unpluggedperformance guys are pretty cool. Got a chance to talk to them and take a look at these when the were in Maryland.

A little better than armor plated ICE car but these are an easy spot.​

Cops need a car that can slip in unexpected undetected and corral bad guys before they can blink.​

Bag guys in Vegus are going to see these miles away and Run Away to Fight Another Day.​

I still believe police cars should be as well marked and as obvious as fire engines and ambulances, like they used to be.
They already have fleets of undercover cars. Make the marked ones as obvious as possible. Public safety and community support/help.

That’s a very generous $1M donation to the Las Vegas PD. Very cool patrol car vehicle choice!

Correct. So you can see why I’m always so perplexed when people talk about how “terrible” it is. That’s just not my experience at all.

I can tell you I was amazed how well it worked. The last couple revisions of FSD have done a lot better here but nothing like it was doing in Vegas. It is definitely area and probably Tesla density reliant!

When I was in the military we had to go through this training where we had to describe our jobs to other military members as part an exercise. When one of the MP got up, and we got to the QA section, someone asked "Is it legal for police to hide to catch speeder, or even sit off the side of the road without their parking lights on". And he explained, that a good cop's job is to prevent criminal activity, and being visible is the best way to do it. Hiding to catch bad guys, means you have to let them commit the crime first. That's a bad policy to go by. Police to stand out. I've had police flip there lights on to remind me to slow down without ever even pulling me over. I've also had police pull me over for speeding ins areas that aren't marked well, and even told me while giving me a ticket, "Yeah, that speed limit is hard to see, see you in court". One of those police men was doing his job, the other was just a glorified meter maid collecting fees for city. Which cities police do you think I have more respect for and "behave" more in when driving through.

"According to LVMPD Ben and Felicia Horowitz donated 11 Cybertrucks directly to Las Vegas police.

Felicia is the CEO of the Horowitz Family Foundation and is a board member of the Cleveland Clinic Nevada Keep Memory Alive Alzheimer’s initiative."

So glad you had a great experience! If there's anything else you need, you know where to find us!

For the Clear Matte Stickers and Foundation, the colored ppf is usually coated. If you reach out to us, we'd be happy to give you a refund for that since it didn't work out. I'll source some new vinyl for the slick-er areas!

I got my foundations stickers on eBay and they have held up really well being on my PPF wrap since last June. Search seller decal_clu8 on eBay. I ordered the black gloss decals for the front doors and tail gate.

Any car looks particularly cool when it becomes a police car.
