Nation’s largest fleet of police #Cybertrucks to patrol #LasVegas
By JESSICA HILL, November 2, 2025
LAS VEGAS (AP) — "The nation’s largest police fleet of #TeslaCybertrucks is set to begin patrolling the streets of Las Vegas in November thanks to a donation from a U.S. tech billionaire, raising concerns about the blurring of lines between public and private interests.
“ 'Welcome to the future of policing,' Clark County Sheriff #KevinMcMahill said during a recent press conference, surrounded by the Cybertrucks while #drones hovered overhead and a police helicopter circled above him.
"The fleet of 10 black-and-white Cybertrucks of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department with flashing lights and sirens are wrapped with the police department’s logo. About 400 officers have been trained to operate the trucks that will use public charging stations.
"The all-electric vehicles are equipped with #shotguns, #shields and #ladders and additional battery capacity to better handle the demands of a police department, McMahill said.
"The donation has raised concerns from government oversight experts about private donors’ influence on public departments and the boost to the Tesla brand. The department is the latest U.S. city to turn to Tesla models even as Elon Musk ’s electric vehicle company has faced blowback because of his work earlier in the year to advance the president’s political agenda and downsize the federal government."
