I’m referring to ford and Chevy and Dodge. Most NYC cop cars are either Tahoe/Suburbans or Impalas or Tauruses or Explorers or Durangos or Chargers. I’ve seen the odd Rav4 but they’re rare.

I saw a model 3 one a few months ago. Aren’t they still in the testing phase of using ev.

Nice. The Continental can finally come to fruition.

I’m glad you’re an expert on police fleets and replacement time lines! Do you know how much money they would save by not having a gas engine idling nearly 24/7 as many of these vehicles do?

Yup. And there’s a reason so much frequency is empty on your dial. Preventing interference is one of their primary jobs.

Which is why they need to enforce illegal broadcasting. This can be effectively jamming radio in other parts of a market.

And that does have safety implications as radio is one of the most basic signals to broadcast in an emergency.

I'm sure it probably warrants at least that much in repairs and upgrades to update and to comply with LPC and other City bodies. Those costs are priced in.

Same people will complain when they see the NYPD gas and maintenance fees.

Would love to see it rejuvenated and scaffolding free before I leave NYC.

Draining taxpayer money on toys.

Make them get the most boring uncool sedans imaginable. Make them wear goofy uniforms. Make them feel like the employees that they are, not some rogue army.

I've driven one. They go 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds. The slower ones go 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds. Their range is 250-300 miles before needing to be charged.

Toyotas are produced in the USA.

For some reason this is less than I expected for the building - it's a historical and super iconic piece of history.

Sounds like a deal hahaha

I even saw one of these as a taxi once

> If they get into a crash, you would need to scrap the entire car as the battery may be damaged.

If you get to the point where the crash damages the battery, it would have probably scrapped an equivalent internal combustion car as well. Fender benders don't take EV's out of commission and the battery pack is usually built into the structure that to damage it, you'd have to damage the car at a structural level.

>EVs are also more expensive than ICE cars.

Upfront, but the cost of operations is more important to an organization that uses them nearly everyday. Lower cost of energy and less maintenance alone will save more than the additional purchase price.

Police livery on a cool-looking car (it even has red calipers!). Reminds me of how German soldiers in the 1930's wore uniforms manufactured by Hugo Boss.

There has been scheduled on the building for 4+ years

At a certain point we should actually try to get our money's worth because it seems like the DOE does a terrible job of actually producing results, especially the Administrative staff that is just bloated at this point.

Kinda offtopic but why does it have those wooden bamboo structures around it? I remember seeing it in 2021 and it still was there the last time I saw it in January.

Is it for support? Or was it just coincidence that every time I go there they are getting some work done?

Don't forget the city part -New York City Police Department police. Alternatively, City of New York Police Department police. Just wait until they have a unit specifically for city affairs: City of New York Police Department city police. Or, when that goes wrong and those officers have to be investigated: City of New York Police Department city police police

Okay, let’s not pretend schools are “defunded” tho, which seems to constantly be pushed on here.

Have you heard of this new thing called the internet?

It's funny because a majority of the Traffic vehicles are/ were Toyotas

Lol Hal playing cheap trick

https://www.ford.com/police-vehicles/ The mach E isn't listed , but Ford has got a huge share of the police market

It’s literally the FCCs only job
