Unplugged Performance’s UP.FIT recently unveiled a menacing Cybertruck that showcased the pickup’s potential as a police vehicle. The Dubai Police should have been paying attention because their take on the electric pickup is terrible. Looking like a low-res white whale, the Cybertruck wears a traditional white and green livery with police insignias. They’re joined by a roof-mounted light bar as well as lights that are integrated into the front bumper and fender flares.
The Dubai Police didn’t say much about the
vehicle, but noted it has been added to their “tourist police luxury patrol
fleet” that is more geared towards marketing and public relations than police
work. As part of that effort, the Cybertruck will be at the Dubai Mall’s Ice
Rink on June 18 so visitors can take pictures with the vehicle. Elon Musk and
Tesla were thrilled with the move as the outspoken executive replied “cool,”
while Tesla’s Cybertruck account said “Very cool to see – thanks for the
trust!”
Little is known about this particular
pickup, but the US-spec Cybertruck is offered in three different guises. The
entry-level model starts at US$ 60,990 and features rear-wheel drive, a 0-96 km/h time of 6.5 seconds, and an estimated range of 402
km. The mid-level model has all-wheel drive and a base price of US$ 79,990.
It’s a significant step up as it has an estimated range of 547 km as well as a 0-96 km/h time of 4.1 seconds. Customers can also opt
for the range-topping Cyberbeast, which begins at US$ 99,990. It has 845 hp, a 515 km range, and a 0-96 km/h time
of 2.6 seconds with the rollout subtracted.
