Tesla Model Y To Join Fremont Police Patrol Fleet
It will last up to two patrol shifts on one charge. A Model S 85 has been in use since 2019.
FREMONT, CA — The Fremont Police Department will soon welcome its newest member to the patrol fleet — a Tesla Model Y.
The department already deployed an electric patrol vehicle program and has over forty electric and hybrid cars in use to cut emissions.
But the Model Y, set to make its first appearance at the Fremont Street Eats Public Safety Night on October 1, can last up to two patrol shifts on one charge and will add 61 more miles per charge compared to the Tesla Model S 85, the model that they began using in 2019.
