Tahoe ROLLS OVER in the side impact test. Doesn't do well on other tests either it's a cheap tin can unibody. Cybertruck is 10x the vehicle.

When the THP or CPD makes the switch, let's talk. Hell even a city my size.
Happy now?

But you don't know. You've proved that time and again in this very thread. You demonstrably have no idea about electrical consumption, and when someone who does corrects you, then you just respond with more unformed snark. You demonstrably had no idea about the context of Ford's recommendations. And now only some cities etc are legit. I wonder what criteria might define those ones?

Back on topic, we just passed three Cybertrucks which had clearly been off roading heading along the Pacheco Pass and then on to 101 North (no doubt heading to Fremont). I have to say they look awesome in person.

I read it myself!!! "Don't use the heat, rely on seat and steering wheel heaters." I'm paraphrasing but yeah. You're looking through your rose colored glasses.

No, I'm not happy because it's a virtue signal and they're only replacing 100 cars.... nice try. In any case New York is the densest city in America so jetting through Manhattan wouldn't be a challenge for an EV provided they kept their charge up. What highway patrol agencies want to go full EV?

A Tahoe is a 6,000lb Body on Frame truck.

It's the CT that's a unibody.

I like the CT, it's just a joke to think cops and government, utility companies will be using them!

That's some serious copium to think the only reason EVs are being put into fleets is to virtue signal. I'm looking forward to seeing all the decked out Cybertrucks used by police it's the perfect fit toughest truck ever made.

They have 3-4 EVS, are a city of 12,000.... and they're claiming to make it all electric. Just like a million other people who say that and it's BS.
