> Crook remembered a case where his detectives drove 630 miles to Mexico to transport a potentially dangerous subject in their vehicle. If the detectives were in a Tesla, Crook noted they would have had to spend an hour in the middle of the drive at an unsecured public charging station standing guard over the person, something that would not happen with an internal combustion engine.<p>630 miles at 60 miles per hour average is 10 hours. Are they not stopping for food etc along they way? Can’t they charge then?<p>And if they are charging vehicles at night at the depot, what about all the 5 minute fuel stops they are saving under normal use? Do these negate this one-time hour?
>“In a firefight, hide behind the engine block.” In a Tesla, there is no engine block, leaving officers without their preferred cover,<p>Iwonder how the battery pack would react to a bullet piercing through it.
