The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department will soon be receiving 10 Tesla Cybertrucks, according to a new report from local news outlet KLAS. And while the donor of the Tesla vehicles is anonymous, there’s widespread speculation they could be from Ben Horowitz, a venture capitalist who’s previously given Las Vegas police money to purchase high-tech gifts.

Images of the Cybertrucks were posted to X on Tuesday by Sheriff Kevin McMahill, who wrote, “These are badass.” McMahill also included tweets in his thread about new rollouts of technology like drones and the highly controversial shot-spotters.

Nah just remove the wiper. Makes them inoperable when dirty or rainy weather and is out of stock forever at the only place you can get it.

This is called "corruption", in case you were wondering.

A shame someone donated garbage

Pretty sure that's just littering.

So did they also provide the Nazi decals or does the police have to print them themselves??

[-] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

They probably already had extras.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Buying in bulk does makes sense.
