>> I do wonder if the choice to use the Model 3 sedan was the right one I don't think you need to wonder. I have one and I love it, but if I were a cop, it wouldn't be my choice. I don't even think the Model Y would cut it. They should be using the Model X. OTOH, I see cops driving a lot of Dodge Chargers around here (New England). Having rented one at one point, I can tell you that they don't have a whole lot of back seat room either, so I'm not sure about that point that one of the chiefs made. But, yeah, I think it should be obvious to the most casual of observers that when you're trying to outfit a newish car that wasn't built for it to achieve a special purpose there's going to be growing pains. I couldn't find any solid quotes for police cars, but I seem to remember seeing that the average one was pushing $100,000 so the numbers they mentioned for the Teslas didn't sound that outrageous.
