Dubai police add Tesla Cybertruck to its crime-fighting fleet

Meet Tesla cybertruck

The Dubai Police General Command in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) showed off addition of an all-electric Tesla Cybertruck to its tourist police patrol fleet.

Elon Musk responded with “Cool” on social media, as the Cybertruck joins other high-performance vehicles like the Bugatti Veyron and Lamborghini Urus in Dubai’s impressive lineup.

This joins Teslas and Lamborghini patrol vehicles for lucky members of the force, and eco-friendly electric motorcycles. Don’t be surprised to see a white gold Mercedes on the streets of Abu Dhabi or Dubai, UAE cities known for excess.

”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,” wrote Dubai Police. The Tesla supercar sports a green and white stripe to match the country’s current police cruisers. Its hood also includes the Dubai Police logo.

Today until 10PM the city of Dubai is inviting the public to come and take photos with the Cybertruck outside the Dubai Mall near the Dubai Ice Rink.
