Elon Musk: A Tesla car goes into service as the first electric patrol car

The Royal Caпadiaп Moυпted Police (RCMP) have reported overwhelmiпgly positive feedback oпthe iпclυsioп of Tesla Model Y patrol vehicle fleets.

According to BNN, officers stationed at British Columbia’s West Shore detachmentand Ontario’s Rideau Hall Response Unit were among the first to experience the Tesla Model Y as part of their daily operational fleet.

BNN says Corporal Didier Thibault, team lead of the Rideau Hall Response Team, reports that feedback has been “overwhelmingly positive” with officers “arriving early to secure the vehicle for their shifts”.Reports highlighted the convenience of charging the vehicle and note the “significant advantageof not having to refuel during shifts” which is a common inconvenience with internal combustion engine vehicles.

Despite initial concerns regarding battery life, the RCMP reports the lowest recorded battery life after “rigorous use” was 56%. Enough for an additional 250 km of driving.The RCMP says based on the success of the Model Y, it plans on expanding its electric fleet this year.

The Canadian Mounties follow Californian Police who began using the Model Y as a patrol vehicle last year. Closer to home Queensland Police also showcased their first all-electric patrol car, a Kia EV6 GT-Line, last year.

With instant acceleration and no dangerous exhaust fumes, electric vehicles make perfect patrol cars for law enforcement.No engine noise is an additional benefit for sneaking up on criminals.
