The Dubai Police General Command in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) announced that it has added an all-electric Tesla Cybertruck to its luxury patrol fleet. This cutting-edge addition underscores the city’s commitment to cutting-edge law enforcement technology.
After Cybertruck was unveiled in November 2019, Dubai Police hinted that the new electric pickup truck could be used to patrol the city’s streets. A few days after the presentation, they published a photo of Cybertruck with their department badge and the corresponding color scheme.
Now, in 2024, when Tesla has already started delivering Cybertrucks, the Dubai Police has received its unit to add to its fleet. An electric truck in bright white and green coloring will join the fleet of the police. Dubai Police General Command has unveiled this cutting-edge addition to its luxury patrol fleet, as shared via X.
”The Dubai Police General Command has added the Tesla Cybertruck, the modern electric car with a futuristic design, to its tourist police luxury patrol fleet,” the department wrote.
Elon Musk responded to the tweet by writing: “Cool.” Cybertruck’s X account also commented on the post and wrote: ”Very cool to see – thanks for the trust.”
Cybertruck joins Dubai Police’s collection of high-performance patrol vehicles. They include the flagship Bugatti Veyron, Bentley Continental GT, Aston Martin One-77, Mercedes-AMG GT63 S, McLaren MP4-12C, Lamborghini Urus Performante, Aventador, Audi R8 Coupe V10, Toyota GR Supra 2021, and Maserati GranTurismo.
Dubai Police showed off the stylish electric truck on social media with a unique plate with the number 5. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, was also seen following the Cybertruck. This highlights the royal family’s interest in the cutting-edge Tesla vehicle.
In the Cybertruck, Tesla uses Tesla Armor Glass. It is highly durable and shock-resistant. The body is made of cold-rolled steel and can even protect against bullets. The truck offers “better utility than a truck with more performance than a sports car.” It has a range of 250–500 miles (400–800 km) and an estimated 0 to 60 mph time of 2.9–6.5 seconds. All this makes it an ideal vehicle for the police.
