The department recently released a video showcasing its new Tesla Cybertruck police cruisers, donated by philanthropists Ben and Felicia Horowitz, offering the first detailed look inside these futuristic patrol units.

Sheriff Kevin McMahill praised the vehicles, calling them symbols of innovation and community service, designed to perform “from Fremont Street to Red Rock Canyon.” Outfitted by Upfit Tesla (a division of Unplugged Performance), the Cybertruck cruisers merge Tesla’s minimalist tech interior with practical police upgrades.
This is now officially the most badass Police vehicle fleet in America.

The donation follows an incident earlier this year involving a Cybertruck explosion outside Trump Tower Las Vegas, an event that highlighted the truck’s remarkable blast resistance and structural integrity. Now, with the LVMPD’s Cybertruck fleet officially on duty, Tesla’s all-electric pickup is proving its versatility beyond consumer roads, ushering in a new era of high-tech, zero-emission policing.
Why Cybertruck for patrol: factory ballistic-resistant door panels, spacious yet nimble packaging, minimal maintenance (regen braking), and no idling fuel burn—lights can run for days. Outcome: higher uptime, lower total cost, and a safer platform officers want to drive. pic.twitter.com/5dWK8xpm9I
