Anaheim police unveil new Tesla patrol cars
Quick Glance: Anaheim Police Introduce New Tesla Patrol Vehicles
  • Anaheim police will soon start using electric Tesla Model Ys as patrol vehicles in a pilot program to keep more officers on the road.

  • The Police Department has 83 patrol vehicles that are aging and breaking down more often. The need is critical as the patrol fleet is depleted, leading to insufficient vehicles for proper officer deployment.

  • The six purchased Model Ys will be put in service after 16 officers are trained to use them. The electric vehicles will be charged at police stations with level-two chargers and refueled with Tesla Superchargers during 24-hour shifts.

  • The Teslas are expected to be cheaper to operate but have a higher initial cost. The department plans to evaluate the performance of electric vehicles during the pilot program to determine potential future purchases.
