What did you buy?

Of course, we’re talking about a modified Cybertruck. Different companies have been repurposing the Tesla pickup truck to suit different needs, allowing people from different professions and companies to use the car for their jobs. Police departments across the country are competing to be the first to purchase the recently announced police mod. According to KTLA , Irvine, California, appears to have won the race.

But many were not happy after it was revealed how much money the department spent on the Cybertruck, public records show. Police paid $153,000 for CybertruckThe base version from the factory costs under $100,000, which is more expensive than many other electric cars.

The worst part is that the department appears to have tried to keep the amount secret. KTLA said the department did not disclose the exact amount “without a public records request.”

The amount paid includes the base price of the pickup and conversion for law enforcement. Some of that cost depends on the model purchased. A Tesla Cyberbeast 2024, a more powerful and expensive version of the Cybertruck, cost the city more than $132,000 and was the only model available at the time, Sergeant Carey Davis said.

In addition, “establishing law enforcement outside city limits” required the city to pay about $21,000 more for work done by a Hawthorne company. Police quickly stated that all the extra equipment “is necessary to ensure that any police car can be properly utilized when needed.”

The total result was over $153,000. But in reality, taxpayers’ concerns were premature, because they didn’t know what to do. This amount is not much different than what police usually spend on their cars.Patrol cars “cost about $116,000,” Carey Davis says, and then require thousands more in fuel and maintenance over their lifespan, which is typically three to five years. Those costs will be much lower for the Cybertruck, which IPD expects to last at least twice as long.

There are about a hundred new crossovers in Ukrainian car dealerships. But not all of them are popular. At the same time, some models can be seen on our roads more often than others. One of them is the 2024 SUZUKI Vitara. There are several reasons for such popular love: Japanese brand, European production, affordable price, reliability and proven design.
