The South Pasadena Police Department is now replacing its entire fleet of internal combustion police cars with ten Tesla Model 3 sedans and 10 Model Y SUVs, outfitted for special police work by the Tesla race car modifier Unplugged Performance.
“Tesla’s stunning track record of reliability, low maintenance costs, and impressive on-road performance and driving dynamics make EV transition a safe choice for many departments. The cost savings are undeniable and being able to bring Tesla’s entire suite of crash and safety systems to bear on officer safety is an added benefit above and beyond the economics of operating and maintaining this modern EV fleet,” said Sergeant Tony Abdalla.
