Previous News⚡️: The Bargersville Police Department saved $80,000 annually by switching 13 fleet vehicles to EV’s. This savings has actually allowed them to hire 2 additional officers while benefiting taxpayers by reducing vehicle expenses, hiring a larger police force team for public safety & reducing their emission reduction from gasoline yearly. Key Comparison🔑: Bargersville Police Department’s EV Fleet Tax Payer Savings: • Annual Savings: $80,000 in fuel costs • Gas: $2,900/month for six vehicles • Electric: $600/month for 13 Teslas • Maintenance Savings: EV owners save approximately 50% on maintenance costs compared to gasoline vehicle owners . Average Costs: • EVs: Around $485 per year on maintenance. • Gas Vehicles: Around $1,117 per year on maintenance Key Points🔑: • Annual Savings: The Bargersville Police Department saves $80,000 each year on fuel by using Tesla vehicles. • Gas-Powered Vehicles: The department’s six remaining gas vehicles cost about $2,900 per month in fuel. • Electric Vehicles: The 13 Tesla vehicles cost only about $600 per month to charge. • Economic Benefits: • These savings have allowed the town to hire two additional police officers, enhancing public safety without increasing taxes . • The initial higher cost of Tesla vehicles is offset by fuel savings within three years, making it a fiscally responsible choice . • Environmental Impact: • While the primary motivation was financial, the switch also supports environmental goals by reducing emissions. Check out some of the largest key facts for Californias PD switching electric on Californias grid!👇👇👇 (Emissions & grid sustainability)⚡️
2024 Grid Enhancements🔋⚡️- • 10,000 MW Battery Storage: California has increased its battery storage capacity to 10,379 MW, a 1,250% rise since 2019. This significant growth in battery storage is critical for maintaining a reliable, clean energy grid by storing excess solar energy generated during the day for use during peak evening hours . • 38 Days of 100% Renewable Energy: For 38 days between March and April, California’s grid reached periods of 100% renewable energy, showcasing the state’s progress in clean energy utilization. This achievement underscores the effectiveness of combining solar power with enhanced battery storage to meet energy demands sustainably • Total Solar Capacity: California has over 36,461 MW of solar capacity, making it the state with the highest solar capacity in the U.S. In 2023, California generated 68,816 GWh of electricity from solar power .

Hertz lost money owning a fleet of EVs. Lets see what happens when they use them on pit maneuvers and having to repair the vehicles. They pumping a lot of talk, but no real experience having owned a fleet of EVs.
Or how about an earthquake when they shutdown charging insfrastructure and the help needed can’t get there because all our first responders chose the meme car
I bought my model 3, 90 days ago and I use to spend about $90 a week on a Volvo xc90. I spend less than $30 a month now for charging, if that sometimes. We are now looking to replace our Yukon Denali for a 2nd EV vehicle.
Video doesn’t mention, South Pasadena Police Fleet of 10 Model Y ‘s patrol vehicles, and 10 Model 3 vehicles for detectives.. are being used to patrol the 11 Sq. Miles that makes up the city… Should work great for them.. 🤗
Of all the Tesla police car conversions I've seen, they always replace the glass roof with metal. Without that, it's way too difficult to mount lightbars and antennas. As for the backseat, they usually replace the rear seats with custom made fiberglass "Tubs" that also include dividers between the front and rear.
Might not even be metal, could be a Composite Material roof. This is an easier material to get to that smooth curved shape of a Tesla while being strong. Model PD specifically uses a Carbon Fibre roof. This seems to be the popular method, soo it's not even metal.
California has rolling brown outs and black outs even in some areas during the summer. The reason your gas is so expensive is because of CA gas taxes and the fact this great nation is no longer energy independent. We have the worlds largest gas reserves yet for political reasons this administration fails to tap in to it. CA has the largest debt, among many other major problems. I would do the opposite of whatever CA is doing.
I’m not very familiar with the range on these but I just can’t wrap my mind around how this would work. Between patrolling and sitting, blasting the A/C and using the laptop and all the other electronics for hours, does the battery pack allow it to be in service for an entire shift?
Idling is a relatively convoluted and inefficient way of getting electricity, which is why it uses roughly a gallon every other hour. EVs do all of those things by using electricity that’s already there, so when idle, it’s fairly minimal. closer to 1%-1.5% per hour. On average, 60 percent of the time is spent at idle, so it makes a big difference. No moving parts also means the concept of engine hours doesn’t really apply. Consider: Burning fuel to run an engine to turn a crankshaft, which pulls an accessory belt, to turn an AC compressor, and an alternator. The alternator creates AC electricity, which needs to be converted to DC through the rectifier, which in turn supplies power to the battery, which supplies DC current to the accessories. Vs. High voltage DC from the battery is stepped down to supply low voltage DC for the 12v accessory battery and heat pump compressor.
yes. almost all electricity spent in an ev moves the car. the laptops draw a tiny fraction of that. gas cars can get plenty of ac and electricity while driving but gotta keep the engine running if you stop. and they burn kinda alot of gas idling like that. BUT evs are heavy, gas cop cars are already heavy just from all the equipment and armor. i dont expect cop evs to get that much range with all that weight.
Law enforcement is one of the best use cases for EV's. So much less energy used when parked and idling. Honestly EV's are the better option for every use case unless you frequently do long distance hauling. That will come around eventually too.
Nice evolution! Heard about the insane maintenance costs on past duty vehicle fleets; though, it was great pay for the mechanics lol. I remember seeing a prototype Model S service vehicle around 2016 at LACI, not surprised its taken this long as I consult in public works
I wonder if FSD could have a pursuit mode? Or, an officer could program in a patrol route and spend his time observing the community instead of the road. This would make a solo patrol just as effective as a duo. Who knows given time a car with 8 eyes & AI could notice things the officers missed.
Awesome job! Glad to see some progress on the transition. Great to see an agency prove that these EVs are much better than ICE and that the transition is not just about Elons ego but Teslas mission has always been a sustainable energy future. And his vehicles are just absolutely game changing. You don’t know until you know! Drive one.
From a cops working perspective this works perfectly 90 perfect of patrols are under 200 miles Since the cop cars always go back to the station, making chargers are the station makes stuff way easier than before No need to wait at gas stations, just plug it in when you’re done your shift, and it would be full for the next use! WAY cheaper to maintain cuz electric is way cheaper than gas Can stand idle waiting with no emission, that’s a huge hit And the speed of these EVs and lower center of gravity makes them perfect for highway chases Damn
How do you say that it’s a 10yr car when the average life of a police car is 3-5yrs. How are you getting 10yrs with little to no maintenance in the first year.
This is cool. I wonder if they have an off on button. Coz their computers have to stay on when they leave the car. Imagine being chased by this. You’re not getting away unless you have a faster Tesla 😂
He didn't mention that the tires have to be replaced very often. If anyone thinks these cars are good for the planet educate yourself and read up how much pollution it's takes to dig up a little amoung lithium.
Looking at South Pasedena on a map, it's a small city and is only 3.4 square miles. I'd say this makes sense here. They aren't gonna be doing high speed chases or pit maneuvers in their little town. They'll mostly be cruising around a relatively small area. Model Y gets around 300 miles per charge, so a full charge should last a good while. If they crunched the numbers and found out that this will save taxpayer money in the long run, good for them. I'd keep a couple of gas backups, but otherwise I don't see a problem with this.
Shouldve got full fleet of plaid model x and s edit* , nope nevermind, imagine speeding and the officer sitting on the side of the road just magically appear beside you in a few seconds
If there’s a call like an accident, a murder, or a robbery, they’d be like “Wait! I have to wait for my police car to charge.” Either this police department fell for the climate alarmism scam, or Gavin Newsom forced them to use these oversized golf carts.
This is awesome and all but police department and outfitters have to find another alternative for that massive light bar on top which easily sips 10% of range if you do a lot of freeway and highway driving. If not in the ciry or just parked I guess its not a huge deal.
There are a few things wrong with this. First off, something like a light bar would not take much range off the car. You do realize it takes A LOT more energy to make the car drive at speeds than it does to power a light. These batteries in the car are massive, enough to power a house for multiple days, a light bar would drain a very minuscule amount of range. Secondly, these light bars and systems in the police cars are connected to either a separate battery or the cars 12v battery, not hooked up to the main battery, so that is not a problem anyways. Have a great day
@@kkarllwt Oh. My bad I pretty much only read the “easily sips 10% of range” and just assumed they were one of those clueless people that think a light bar like that will affect the range cause it will use a lot of electricity. But still a light bar on top will affect aerodynamics only a little bit, definitely not enough to make a 10% difference. That was my bad on that misunderstanding though
@@urleft61 like the other guy said I'm talking about range and aerodynamics. Not how much electricity the light bar uses which is probably extremely minimal due to it being LEDs. The light bar would easily increase the drag coefficient of a Model Y from .23 to closer to .3 which would mean at least a 5-10% decrease in range. I'm guessing it could be as high as 15%. Roof racks without anything on them consume 5% or more and those are aerodynamically designed. The light bar used here definitely isn't.
Did you guys already see a video when suspect in a Tesla and the police try to pit manuver it but it survived 3 times? Its just show how safe tesla low center of gravity is
Only in the People's Republic of California would a 1st responder be 100% tied to the electrical grid so in an emergency when the grid goes down so does the 1st responder what goes through the minds of these folks?
They are working on solar/battery setups for the police dept, fire dept, and 1st responders. That would eliminate any concern over a power outage. Also, power outages are pretty rare in this country. Even with all the media headlines. Houston lost power for about 8 days in an entire year, that is still a 98% uptime for the year.
@@noleftturns Listen to the actual police officer who thinks it's a great idea. I think he would know more about what is or is not stupid for his team/dept. Teslas are the safest vehicle in the world, they save the dept shit tons of money over the long term AND they are super fast/reliable and heavy. Sounds like a perfect patrol vehicle to me. The environmental aspect is just a neat bonus.
The moment they are in the middle of charging and they need to go out on a call for a high speed chase, the gas powered assailant will have the longevity.

Everyone who thinks this is a good idea here is having their own opinions, but California especially is having bad power consumption right now and electricity is through the roof, I believe in no time the electricity will rise a good amount and cost fleets the same to fill up the vehicles.
@@0rig1nnnn you're saying the PDs in California should not EVALUATE conversion and just blindly dismiss it? That seems ignorant. Police vehicles spend a lot more fuel idling than typical usage scenarios. The cost of operations should be lower in most cases.
@@ken830 let’s start with hybrid first like the Ford 2020
Patrol cars are usually idling for many hours. Now it's zero emissions while just sitting around instead of just dumping exhaust for hours on end for literally no reason.
And heat, have you walked by a cop car idling on a hot day with the AC on?
Excellent choice and glad you're leading the way.
Congratulations! You guys are awesome. Leading the industry for sure. 👍🏻
CyberCruiser = "Don't bother running"
Huh?
@@GregoryCunninghamteslas are known to be quick. So, he's saying don't bother running because they're just gonna catch you
Unless you are in 1000hp BEV also.
This is amazing, and the teaser at the end?? 🔥🔥🔥
aint gonna lie, i always liked tesla cars, altought there could be an improvement on quality, but tesla cars all black and white for cops, look 🔥🔥🔥
Electric police cars? Now that's progress! Can't wait to see how this impacts other cities.
Nice - those are going to be great for work!
Would love to see this on the roads here on Europe Slovenia ❤❤❤❤
Great work

Good Job Mr. EV Officer!
Sorry I was too late to come to your aid, had a new OTA update to install and now I’ve got new fart noises😂
Oh yeah. And your car runs as old as its age without any updates. Old ICE car stays old.
@@bordersw1239 silly; he did that while he was eating his donuts and coffee. No time wasted at all!
Are these equipped with the syncing police lights? These are absolutely needed to reduce the night time crashes due to the distractions from unsynced lights.

I have yet to see one, I think it would look awesome seeing a tesla police car
Great job kitting them out
Look out for that little old lady from Pasadena
FSD police trace mode will be interesting :)
Beautiful 😍

Hertz lost money owning a fleet of EVs. Lets see what happens when they use them on pit maneuvers and having to repair the vehicles. They pumping a lot of talk, but no real experience having owned a fleet of EVs.
Or how about an earthquake when they shutdown charging insfrastructure and the help needed can’t get there because all our first responders chose the meme car
Wouldn’t an earthquake also destroy gas stations
Perfect, just - perfect.
I wish they make the Tesla model S 2024 Tesla model 3 and cyberfridge as police vehicles
I bought my model 3, 90 days ago and I use to spend about $90 a week on a Volvo xc90. I spend less than $30 a month now for charging, if that sometimes. We are now looking to replace our Yukon Denali for a 2nd EV vehicle.
Video doesn’t mention, South Pasadena Police Fleet of
10 Model Y ‘s patrol vehicles, and 10 Model 3 vehicles for detectives..
are being used to patrol the 11 Sq. Miles that makes up the city…
Should work great for them.. 🤗
Small mind. Pity
Did they replace the glass roof with a metal one? I wonder how they modified the hatchback to keep it secure from the back seat "passengers."
Of all the Tesla police car conversions I've seen, they always replace the glass roof with metal. Without that, it's way too difficult to mount lightbars and antennas.
As for the backseat, they usually replace the rear seats with custom made fiberglass "Tubs" that also include dividers between the front and rear.
Might not even be metal, could be a Composite Material roof. This is an easier material to get to that smooth curved shape of a Tesla while being strong. Model PD specifically uses a Carbon Fibre roof. This seems to be the popular method, soo it's not even metal.
Great to see this so they can show how great of an idea this really is
California has rolling brown outs and black outs even in some areas during the summer. The reason your gas is so expensive is because of CA gas taxes and the fact this great nation is no longer energy independent. We have the worlds largest gas reserves yet for political reasons this administration fails to tap in to it. CA has the largest debt, among many other major problems. I would do the opposite of whatever CA is doing.
Gonna have the acceleration and the mass to give a good shove. Stops those pursuits early. Combine this with the “Grappler”.
I’m not very familiar with the range on these but I just can’t wrap my mind around how this would work. Between patrolling and sitting, blasting the A/C and using the laptop and all the other electronics for hours, does the battery pack allow it to be in service for an entire shift?
Idling is a relatively convoluted and inefficient way of getting electricity, which is why it uses roughly a gallon every other hour. EVs do all of those things by using electricity that’s already there, so when idle, it’s fairly minimal. closer to 1%-1.5% per hour. On average, 60 percent of the time is spent at idle, so it makes a big difference. No moving parts also means the concept of engine hours doesn’t really apply. Consider:
Burning fuel to run an engine
to turn a crankshaft, which pulls an accessory belt, to turn an AC compressor, and an alternator.
The alternator creates AC electricity, which needs to be converted to DC through the rectifier, which in turn supplies power to the battery, which supplies DC current to the accessories.
Vs.
High voltage DC from the battery is stepped down to supply low voltage DC for the 12v accessory battery and heat pump compressor.
yes. almost all electricity spent in an ev moves the car. the laptops draw a tiny fraction of that. gas cars can get plenty of ac and electricity while driving but gotta keep the engine running if you stop. and they burn kinda alot of gas idling like that.
BUT evs are heavy, gas cop cars are already heavy just from all the equipment and armor. i dont expect cop evs to get that much range with all that weight.
Law enforcement is one of the best use cases for EV's. So much less energy used when parked and idling. Honestly EV's are the better option for every use case unless you frequently do long distance hauling. That will come around eventually too.
Yes, have you walked by a cop car idling on a hot day with the AC on?
Ive been saying this for years! Finally someone has stepped up and made the bold move! And a cybertruck to boot? Hell yeah!!!
Nice evolution! Heard about the insane maintenance costs on past duty vehicle fleets; though, it was great pay for the mechanics lol. I remember seeing a prototype Model S service vehicle around 2016 at LACI, not surprised its taken this long as I consult in public works
You would think a lot of police forces would do this. They need a fast ass tesla cause these teslas are fast as hell to catch
I wonder if FSD could have a pursuit mode? Or, an officer could program in a patrol route and spend his time observing the community instead of the road. This would make a solo patrol just as effective as a duo. Who knows given time a car with 8 eyes & AI could notice things the officers missed.
The ideas are endless
Awesome job! Glad to see some progress on the transition. Great to see an agency prove that these EVs are much better than ICE and that the transition is not just about Elons ego but Teslas mission has always been a sustainable energy future. And his vehicles are just absolutely game changing. You don’t know until you know! Drive one.
From a cops working perspective this works perfectly
90 perfect of patrols are under 200 miles
Since the cop cars always go back to the station, making chargers are the station makes stuff way easier than before
No need to wait at gas stations, just plug it in when you’re done your shift, and it would be full for the next use!
WAY cheaper to maintain cuz electric is way cheaper than gas
Can stand idle waiting with no emission, that’s a huge hit
And the speed of these EVs and lower center of gravity makes them perfect for highway chases
Damn
A black Tesla at night can easily sneak up on a perp.
Maravilha conhecimento e vida nos liberta essa es a nossa marca favorita não é seus produtos são verdadeiros sonhos de consumo de todos já
The cars have bullet proof battery ?
Regular cars don't have bullet proof gas tanks or engines. Hit either one in the right spot and you'll disable it.
power goes out for a week and its like the purge movies
Well hopefully they still have gas power vehicles if not one day they will be hurting for them . EV is not the answer , hybrid is
COME ON NOT AGAIN last time I saw these tesla police cars I just ate my dinner now I just ate my breakfeast and now I need to trow up AGAIN.
How do you say that it’s a 10yr car when the average life of a police car is 3-5yrs. How are you getting 10yrs with little to no maintenance in the first year.
This is cool. I wonder if they have an off on button. Coz their computers have to stay on when they leave the car. Imagine being chased by this. You’re not getting away unless you have a faster Tesla 😂
Thailand had a model 3 police fleet over 4 years ago. Definitely not a worlds first
Is it all Teslas tho? I doubt it.
He didn't mention that the tires have to be replaced very often.
If anyone thinks these cars are good for the planet educate yourself and read up how much pollution it's takes to dig up a little amoung lithium.
for what cops do with it most (idling) evs are a good choice
Looking at South Pasedena on a map, it's a small city and is only 3.4 square miles. I'd say this makes sense here. They aren't gonna be doing high speed chases or pit maneuvers in their little town. They'll mostly be cruising around a relatively small area. Model Y gets around 300 miles per charge, so a full charge should last a good while.
If they crunched the numbers and found out that this will save taxpayer money in the long run, good for them. I'd keep a couple of gas backups, but otherwise I don't see a problem with this.
Shouldve got full fleet of plaid model x and s edit* , nope nevermind, imagine speeding and the officer sitting on the side of the road just magically appear beside you in a few seconds
Now, we need to connect the Tesla police cars with the Tesla light show people, and then we'll be off to the races.
What if in a high-speed chase you have to bump the criminal out.. are Teslas strong to handle it. Will the batteries explode on hard impacts?
I can't wait until the day when I can buy a retired police tesla.
Police cars.... guess what they spend the most time doing? Delivering cold air to the comfortably seated officer.
Who will respect police in electric cars? 😂😂😂😂
Not me. Any sane police department would not fall for the climate alarmism scam, and sick to using normal police cars.
if i pull up to a super charger and i see a cop chargning imma be like ._.
Next is Mach E police cars!
Those hideous things 😂
Nothing is more hideous than the front of a Model 3. Looks like a duck that ran into a brick wall.
Is this Long Range or Performance?
I think a long range would be better to squeeze out as many miles as they can between charge
why would they give performance to the cops lmao, use your brain?
How hard was it to install? And also why won’t Tesla have a software for pd so you don’t need an additional laptop?
The cybersecurity guys don't trust anyone. If they did, they won't last long in cybersecurity.
Because PD does not want to share data with Tesla
I think I saw those on a car carrier a month ago!
No model 3 in fleet?
The lil kids with fast Honda civics think those ain’t fast 😂 Goodluck
wow even using unplugged performance brakes...
🔥🔥🔥
Looks funny, plus tires will need replacing every 5k since officers need to drive aggressively for responses
Anyone know what wheels they’re using?
I’m trying to imagine the swat cyber truck
W! I just shared this video to X. You welcome :)
That ending was definitely unnecessary, but badass at the same time. Felt like a movie!
Thanks I didn't watch till the end. Caught it🎉
Boy, are they going to be sorry
Wait till they run out of battery mid chase
Imagine the cost of maintenance if they get hit or just a repair!!
If there’s a call like an accident, a murder, or a robbery, they’d be like “Wait! I have to wait for my police car to charge.” Either this police department fell for the climate alarmism scam, or Gavin Newsom forced them to use these oversized golf carts.
This is awesome and all but police department and outfitters have to find another alternative for that massive light bar on top which easily sips 10% of range if you do a lot of freeway and highway driving. If not in the ciry or just parked I guess its not a huge deal.
There are a few things wrong with this. First off, something like a light bar would not take much range off the car. You do realize it takes A LOT more energy to make the car drive at speeds than it does to power a light. These batteries in the car are massive, enough to power a house for multiple days, a light bar would drain a very minuscule amount of range. Secondly, these light bars and systems in the police cars are connected to either a separate battery or the cars 12v battery, not hooked up to the main battery, so that is not a problem anyways. Have a great day
@@urleft61 His comment was to the areo effect of the light bar. Reading comprehension?
@@kkarllwt Oh. My bad I pretty much only read the “easily sips 10% of range” and just assumed they were one of those clueless people that think a light bar like that will affect the range cause it will use a lot of electricity. But still a light bar on top will affect aerodynamics only a little bit, definitely not enough to make a 10% difference. That was my bad on that misunderstanding though
@@urleft61 like the other guy said I'm talking about range and aerodynamics. Not how much electricity the light bar uses which is probably extremely minimal due to it being LEDs.
The light bar would easily increase the drag coefficient of a Model Y from .23 to closer to .3 which would mean at least a 5-10% decrease in range. I'm guessing it could be as high as 15%. Roof racks without anything on them consume 5% or more and those are aerodynamically designed. The light bar used here definitely isn't.
My dept tried EVs... They only lasted 2 hours on the track and that didn't include running heat or ac just the radios and other equipment
Did you guys already see a video when suspect in a Tesla and the police try to pit manuver it but it survived 3 times?
Its just show how safe tesla low center of gravity is
i think they should use the cyber truck better
So this is where our taxes go. Such a waist
*waste
With spelling like that, they surely aren’t being spent on education.
They will fall apart under the strain that police cars are put thru.
This will be a good test.
Imagine how many teslas would get chance by a Tesla cop 😂🤣😊
Only in the People's Republic of California would a 1st responder
be 100% tied to the electrical grid
so in an emergency when the grid goes down
so does the 1st responder
what goes through the minds of these folks?
Fuel pumps in gas stations are also powered by electricity...
@@Wirmish luckily 1st responders have gravity fed gas and diesel on site that need no electricity to fuel ice vehicles.
They are working on solar/battery setups for the police dept, fire dept, and 1st responders. That would eliminate any concern over a power outage. Also, power outages are pretty rare in this country. Even with all the media headlines. Houston lost power for about 8 days in an entire year, that is still a 98% uptime for the year.
@@davidbraverman1 Its just stupid to put EVs on 1st alert - stupid.
@@noleftturns Listen to the actual police officer who thinks it's a great idea. I think he would know more about what is or is not stupid for his team/dept. Teslas are the safest vehicle in the world, they save the dept shit tons of money over the long term AND they are super fast/reliable and heavy. Sounds like a perfect patrol vehicle to me. The environmental aspect is just a neat bonus.
The moment they are in the middle of charging and they need to go out on a call for a high speed chase, the gas powered assailant will have the longevity.
