I wouldn't know, but I'm guessing it has it's perks, like waking up one morning, buying one of the biggest social media platforms, then telling the advertisers to **** off. That's gotta feel good 🤣
LOL yes it must.
But you know the saying “Mo Money Mo Problems” lol, I think it definitely applies.
I said this before, and I'll repeat it. EVs do not work in all situations, and they don't work for all people needs which I acknowledge. For example, EV's today would not work for the California Hwy Patrol where they need to drive hundreds of miles a day, and where they get into pursuits that can last hours. Also, it would be silly and financially irresponsible for a huge PD to change out thousands of cruisers for EV's. But for smaller cities, it makes complete sense to start adding them in without ripping out the existing fleet. Like the City of Fremont or the San Mateo Sherriff's dept where their detectives use a combination of Hybrids and EV's.
Now the Cyber Truck at this point makes no sense to me other than a personal vehicle. I don't envision it anytime soon doing anything other than that
EVs for local PD's make a ton of sense. If they're camped out in a speed trap or just managing city streets, an EV will be tons more efficient than a traditional ICE.
Doesn't make you a bad person but is completely irrelevant to this discussion. How about we talk about the product. Specs, tech, how it DRIVES. Or do you care about any of that? I suspect no.

Police cruisers have to run so many accessories---- it would drain EV batteries realllll quick.

That's why PD's have started purchasing Model Y's for cruisers. They are perfect for patrolling, traffic enforcement, and detectives travelling to crime scenes. Patrol cars spend a ton of time idling, which we know, uses lots of gas.
When a pursuit happens, cities will turn over the pursuit to the next city. Plus, nobody is saying (at least not me) cities should get rid of their Interceptors. BTW, many of Ford Interceptors I'm seeing in my city are hybrids. For State police, by all means they should continue with ICE interceptors, especially for Highway Patrol, who may drive hundreds of miles a day

It's not accessories that drain the HV battery. An average HV battery from a Lightning can run power a house for 3 days. It's moving a heavy EV that drains the battery pack
According to Car and Driver, it can fit up to 6 people:
Headroom: 41.6″ front, 39″ rear
Legroom: 41″ front, 40.9″ rear
Shoulder room: 63″ front, 62″ rear
Hip room front/rear: 57.2″
Thats crazy. How can the headroom only be 2.6 inches smaller in the rear with that roofline?!

Then why do you keep bringing up how rich he is? All of that is fine but you need to do that too.
If you had just accepted that I and others don’t think much of Elon Musk this wouldn’t even be being discussed now.
