Do you know about the American tuner called Unplugged Performance? Operating for nearly a decade, they have established themselves as professional Tesla tuners and have even become official partners with Tesla. Recently, they have received much attention worldwide because they unveiled the Cybertruck police cruise.

In May 2024, the Cybertruck police patrol vehicle appeared in the world through the hands of Unplugged Performance. The model, pre-unveiled through a teaser video, had emergency lights on the bumper, sides, and roof and was wrapped exclusively for police patrol vehicles. This time, we will examine more detailed information about the model.

The model, which received police feedback, is expected to be used as an actual police car

Unplugged Performance’s CEO, Ben Shaffer, announced the new police Cybertruck, noting that it was developed with significant input from police departments participating in the design process. He expressed satisfaction with the collaborative effort, stating, “It was great to receive direct feedback from police departments,” and added, “I am very happy that our brand can show the future of police vehicles.” This indicates that the model was designed based on direct feedback from active-duty police officers.

It doesn’t end with feedback. It is said that this model will be launched this year and be used as an actual police c. The Cybertruck transformed into a police car with emergency lights on the bumper and side. Additionally, upgraded radio and computer systems were added, featuring sirens, a PA loudspeaker system, and special wiring.

Enhanced versatility for different situations
Already used Model 3, Y

Unplugged Performance also says its police-specific Cybertruck can be tailored to the needs of police organizations for tactical, military, or search-and-rescue missions. The police Cybertruck can be customized with special tool storage for weapons, wheel and tire packages, braking, and extreme off-road.

Meanwhile, over the past year, the Anaheim Police Department and the South Pasadena Police Department in the U.S. have used Model 3 and Model Y exclusively for police produced by Unplugged Performance. According to the Anaheim Police Department, there was an urgent need for patrol cars due to supply chain issues, delivery delays, and replacing older patrol cars. Due to ongoing car shortages in some departments, the Police Department Model Y, manufactured by Unplugged Performance, was selected.

Potential savings on maintenance costs
The trend towards electric vehicles

In 2023, many police departments that have been using Tesla’s electric vehicles as police cruisers reported that they have been able to save on fuel and maintenance costs compared to using internal combustion engine vehicles. In February 2024, Tesla also emphasized that if its electric vehicles are used as police vehicles, police stations can save about $3,993 in police equipment costs.

In recent years, many police departments across the U.S. have been converting patrol cars to electric vehicles to save on maintenance and fuel costs.
