The use of these types of electric vehicles by the authorities has increased, thanks to the economic benefits they bring in the long term, despite the fact that they have to make a larger investment compared to internal combustion vehicles. .

Features of the Tesla Police

This vehicle is focused on expanding the gaze of the patrol, who can track the streets inside the vehicle, but may miss various details in the middle of the mobilization.

To solve this, the car has cameras on the top that have facial recognition and also supports others that monitor other cars in transit in real time.

All of this can be seen by agents from a series of screens located next to the steering wheel, which display additional information thanks to additional sensors that allow for more accurate data, such as vehicle license plates.

It also has a screen on the rear panoramic part of the car that displays the text of the agent’s choice.

Benefits of the electric car for the police

In addition to additional surveillance equipment, these types of vehicles are an option that authorities need to extend the useful life of the operations fleet and reduce costs, according to the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office in the United States.

“Because of the simplicity of the design and the lack of moving parts, the Tesla is expected to have a much longer life. Our data shows that the average life of a patrol car is 5 years, with a mileage of 169,000 km. That equates to about $19,635 in fuel and maintenance costs, compared to just $3,045 for the Tesla Model Y,” the office said.

This is because government vehicles spend most of their time at low speeds, with repeated stops and starts, which in the case of petrol vehicles means a higher investment and more wear and tear on the engine.
