Some Fire Depts think Teslas are so safe regarding fires that they use Teslas themselves to respond to incidents

I meant for the beginning of the comment to sound as if Fire Departments are crazy for using Tesla vehicles but, my comment was really due to range loss for the light bar. Attempt at being funny, fell flat.

At least a flat joke does not affect aerodynamics.
Well if anything the mass of photons pushing the vehicle backwards from a decent light bar would reduce range, so I'd say the less "bright" one is the better. ;)

As for flat things, even jokes, that would depend on the angle of attack. In my case my joke didn't get much traction either.

Not really: Most fires are quick response, like urban, without many miles traveled. Then generators or generator trucks are set up.

Batteries idle much better than large generators, so would make supply lines easier to manage. This is why the military is interested in more and more EV equipment.

What does the fire dept use generators for? Putting out fires with a electron gun? 😛

I think John K was kidding with the fire fighting light bar idea...
