The Anaheim Police Department said it wanted to be the first department with a Cybertruck, according to an internal email obtained by 404 Media. But the company advertising the modified vehicles hasn’t actually made one yet, the police said.
Anyone who doesn’t think that the end goal for the Cybertruck isn’t military/police contracts hasn’t really been paying attention to how tech firms grow.
I’m mostly surprised that no US police departments have any of them yet.

Overpriced and underperforming, so definitely military-grade.
They’re trying out in a feeder dystopia first.
Yeah, that seems about right.
