another Tesla thread

Wow - that’s crazy. Thanks for the explanation - atkeast I understand it now . If I were in the market I guess I’d try and find one of those inventory stealth cars too

I assume so, but dunno.

I also don't know if they're much cheaper than the P3D+ once used. The first P3D+ owners took the depreciation hit already.

Yeah but I really don't want 20 inch wheels.

Been seeing things about this over the past few days but have not read any of the stories.

Every time I see one of the headlines I think, "Have no cop cars ever run out of gas during a chase?"

And most people don't mention the minor detail of "the Tesla had not been recharged after the shift before Hartman's"

It's reaching mass circulation largely because people want to mock EV's.

The police dept also issued a response, mostly defending the vehicle and saying it wasn't the actual reason they called off the chase.. can't seem to find it at the moment though.

My first thoughts ... wow that is cool a Tesla police car !!

Then when I read 120mph chase I thought WTF I thought they didn’t chase people due to the safety but then read the rest of the article and saw they called off the chase due to safety.
