At no point are they saying tesla's are bad. Just that they are not good for what police need them to do.
I have no connection to police but I do own a 2015 ford Police Interceptor Utility (Essentially an explorer.)
There are several features that are useful to police.
Manual headlights. (Keep debating spending the ~$50-70 to upgrade to auto headlights.) The lights and horn do not trigger when you lock the car with the remote. Nor do lights come on when you open the door. (All of these are features to prevent drawing attention when you are idling on the side of the road.)
Fairly tall sidewalls. I can go over a curb and not have any issue. The suspension is the best of any car / truck I have owned.
It is rated for a 75MPH impact from the rear. (Fun fact. The full size spare tire is required to be in place to keep the rating.
I have 4 switches on the steering wheel for accessories. (I assume stuff like lights and sirens.)
There are some others like being able to disconnect the door locks from the back doors although mine were set to normal car when I got it.
