What do you do if you see this Tesla Model Y in your rearview mirror chasing after you with the siren screaming and the beacon light flashing? You pull over, that is the only correct answer to this question. Because this is the Tesla Model Y police car from Unplugged Performance. And you don't want to upset those who are on board it.
ICE police cars burn 60% of the total gas by idling, or 1,633 gallons on average, says Unplugged Performance in a Facebook post. At least this is what a 2018 Ford Police Interceptor Utility Police car does.
Such vehicles need to keep the engine on so that they have communication systems active without drying out the car battery. But the battery pack of an electric car can easily power all onboard electronics, discharging at a slow rate.
So this is where the Tesla Model Y comes in. It saves money and saves the environment, says UP, considering that the company came up with the largest charging network in the world.
They came up with a police car that is fast, efficient, and less costly than ICE-powered cars would be. That is why the Tesla Model Y has received exterior and interior upgrades. The car has been unveiled at the Tesla Takeveor vent in San Luis Obispo, California.
Cars looking like that will be in the fleet of the police in South Pasadena, California. The police over there have committed to replacing their entire fleet, made up of cars powered by internal combustion engines, with electric vehicles.
The Unplugged Performance motorized creation sports a redesigned front fascia with a steel bull bar and flashing blue and red lights. There are red and blue lights on the side skirts as well. The electric crossover rides on aftermarket gloss black wheels shod in all-terrain tires. There is a red and blue light bar on the roof of the car, which has also been fitted with a siren.
The Tesla tuner has tweaked the interior as well, making it fit for police duties. There is a laptop in front of the front passenger seat, and a panel has been mounted between the front and rear seats, because the rear is where perpetrators will be. The rear seats have been modified to offer less comfort, yet more safety when dangerous lawbreakers are seated there.
The entry-level Tesla Model Y starts at $40,240 after tax credit, which comes with a dual-motor setup and all-wheel drive, plus an acceleration time from 0 to mph in 5.0 seconds. The Model Y police car is $91,990. Upgraded Performance claims there is a maintenance cost reduction of $27,012 in five years compared to the costs involved by a Ford Police Interceptor Utility hybrid police car. They claim that police departments using the Model Y have reported operational savings of 30% or more.
