Fox. Get this. You won't believe this, but it did happen. Fremont, California Police Department began a pilot program. They wanted to see how electric cars would work in their fleet. The only electric car that met their requirements wasn't Tesla. Well. Last week, a cop driving the new Tesla, the environmentally friendly electric squad car, ran into a problem. There was a high speed chase. The cop radio dispatch to ask for backup because his electric car was running out a charge,
running out of juice. His Tesla only had six miles of battery life left. He was afraid the car would run out of power any moment. A police spokesman later said the incident was a one off. It would not change their opinion about using electric patrol cars. Besides, they said the cars not fully charged before it was taken out. It wasn't the car's fault, so no harm, no foul, even if there was no juice. Now, don't get me wrong, I've got nothing against Tesla's. If you like them, have
at it. If you incorrectly believe that you're gonna say of the planet driving one, have at it. If you think Gasolene's old hat, go for it. But here's why fossil fuel going to be around for a very long time. It's cheap, efficient, reliable, you don't run out of it during a high speed chase, and you know what, you can drive faster than the bad guy. There is no way this tesla was going to keep up with the bad guy. The purp got away, the cops abandoned the chase, but we saved the planet.
