By Salvador HernandezLos Angeles TimesIRVINE, Calif. — It is official — a Cybertruck is about to make its debut as a police vehicle. The Cybertruck was obtained as a replacement to another police vehicle in the department’s fleet, Kim said. Part of those plans, Kim said, is transitioning the city’s vehicles — including police cars — into electric vehicles. But electric patrol vehicles have proven to be more challenging for police departments because the vehicle must continuously run a number of systems while on patrol, Kim said. Police officials said a debut date for the department’s Cybertruck had not yet been set and, for now, there are no plans to purchase a second.
