Every cop in Vegas is about to look like they drove straight out of a sci-fi movie. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department just rolled out 10 shiny new Tesla Cybertrucks in late October 2025. Yeah, actual Cybertrucks. On the streets. Catching bad guys. Welcome to the future, criminals.
These aren’t your average patrol cars. They’re decked out with fancy police tech—advanced lighting systems, beefed-up computing power, and batteries that last way longer than the ones in the Cybertrucks regular folks can buy. Perfect for those grueling 10-hour shifts when officers can’t exactly pull over for a quick charge.
The best part? Taxpayers didn’t shell out a dime. Some rich tech couple, Ben and Felicia Horowitz, footed the entire bill. Must be nice having friends with deep pockets. The Clark County Sheriff is practically giddy about turning Vegas into home of “the most technologically advanced police department” in the country. Ambitious much?
Must be nice having friends with deep pockets when you’re trying to build a robo-cop future.
These angular steel beasts will hit the streets within two weeks after their introduction, spread across all area commands. They’re bringing friends too—drones and robots will join the Cybertrucks in this high-tech crime-fighting party.
The math makes sense. Each Cybertruck is projected to save the department about $47,540 over five years compared to traditional gas-guzzlers. No oil changes, no gas station stops, just plug and go. The savings come from ditching fuel costs and slashing maintenance bills.
Vegas is going green while going tough on crime. These electric cruisers support Clark County’s sustainability goals while looking intimidating as hell. The department calls them the “next evolution” in community safety tools. That’s cop-speak for “our cars look cooler than yours now.”
Officers are training to handle their new rides and all the fancy gadgets inside. One thing’s for sure—when these Cybertrucks roll up to a scene, nobody’s going to mistake them for your dad’s old Crown Victoria. Sheriff Kevin McMahill announced these Cybertrucks represent the first electric vehicles ever to join the Metro fleet. With parts manufactured primarily in the USA, these vehicles boast high domestic content compared to traditional Ford and Chevy patrol options.
