This idiotic, out of context thread a short life:

“This unfortunately happens from time to time even in our vehicles that run on gas, if they aren’t re-fueled at the end of a shift.”

Now you are forced to endorse the notion that gasoline cars don't make good police cars.

How can the OP of a thread be "out of context?" The OP is the context.

WHAT you never heard of a cop running out of gas???

it happens more than you think

I'm calling 'fake news' on this one. No self-respecting American cop would try to chase anyone in an electric car.

No, I never heard of it. I think the first thing they do before they go on patrol is make sure the car is filled up.

I've seen on cops where one car had to leave a pursuit because he was running out,,

it is rare in an average day but if its the end of the day and get into a miles long chase it can easily happen

teslas are still great cars that get better every year

To be fair, electric vehicles have tremendous torque. They can go from zero to 60 instantly.

That sucks. The cops here have a few Tesla's. But they are strictly kept on the roads, are forbidden from pursuing other cars (our PD has three interceptors for that) as well as driving on the highway. Tesla's are a good idea for cops in my opinion, but I would forbid their use in any pursuit. Meh, it's Cali I guess.

Then they aren't a good idea for cops.
