Depends, when’s it supposed to rain?

Imagine being a cop, doing your best To Serve and Protect impression, only to have your car lock you inside and incinerate you, at a time of its choosing.

Or at a time of the choosing of the one rich dude who has root on all the cars.
reddig33@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I hope these were donated.
CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 3 weeks ago
Donating cybertrucks almost feels like a way to sabotage the police. Almost.
aberrate_junior_beatnik@midwest.social 3 weeks ago
They were (I messed up posting and didn’t link to the article which explains this)

Wow did US police learn nothing with the Explody Crown Vics? Gonna be hilarious when these guys fall apart during a chase. The “perp” will just need to drive through a puddle.
blackbelt352@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Was the crown vic explody? I know the Pinto was because of how the gas tank was built, and the Crown Vic had a bunch of recalls because it was just stress tested that much by nature of being commonly used by cops and taxi companies but I don’t recall the crown vic having major flaws like that.
ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Yes they suffered the same issue as the Pinto, Explody from rear ending.
PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
First time im hearing of it as well. I even had a CVPI for a short time and was impressed with the build quality
MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.io 3 weeks ago
It’s not the chase itself. It’s the “defensive” driving maneuvers and the getting bumped by a beater that will get officers cooked in an unopenable tin can.

This is straight out of Reno 911

I can’t think of a better group to force to suffer using a Tesla than a bunch of pigs.
man_wtfhappenedtoyou@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I guess they gotta do something with all that inventory nobody wants to purchase. Keep that stock price up.
x00z@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I guess it’s also an easy way to advertise.
Alloi@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
just ride out into the desert, these things get hung up on napkins for fuck sake.

Waste of taxpayer.funds
invertedspear@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
The ten vehicles were fully funded through private donations.
Those private donations could have done better, but at least it wasn’t tax dollars.
hateisreality@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I still think many tax dollars were used…

I… presume the warning sirens have been replaced with a clown horn honking sound?
Cyberflunk@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
i hope they explode
Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Right in front of Trump tower?! Stop, I can only get so hard. 😩

Hahahahahahahaha hahahahahaha!
Hahahahahahahaha hahahahahaha!
Classic idiots supporting other idiots with idiocy. Have fun with that! I would have gone with Mclarens personally, but you do you LV
vinceman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
Oh my god it’s so fucking pathetic to choose cybertrucks I didn’t even think of what else they could have bought.
billwashere@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I hope they all have to drive through large puddles.
Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Do they glue the handcuffs on the perpetrators?
Zeke@fedia.io 3 weeks ago
I'm gonna laugh when they start losing fingers to the doors being slammed on their hands.
MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
So one freak downpour and they will all malfunction.
angband@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
fuck will they lock people in those?
kungen@feddit.nu 3 weeks ago
Hey dude can you please wait like a half an hour? I gotta charge my car if we’re gonna have a pursuit…
st3ph3n@midwest.social 3 weeks ago
Not a good look.
kreskin@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
We already knew cops arent smart or in any way serving for the American people, or informed about laws, this gives them the perfect vehicle to match.
Tattorack@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Know any brave militant activist vandals in your area? Would be great if these cars get fucked the moment they hit the streets.
x00z@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Why would you need a vandal for this though? These cars are known to get fucked up by driving off the lot.
Snowpix@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Can’t survive the rain, car washes, or being looked at funny.
SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
Yikes
YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
I’m sure the police will notice that crime suddenly only happens when it rains.
muffedtrims@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
They probably didn’t spring for the 6k clear coat.
Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Does it rain in Vegas though? Sorry, never been there.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Not frequently, but when it does it causes flash flooding frequently, just like other deserts.
