• The Dubai Police have added a Tesla Cybertruck to their fleet of eye-catching vehicles.
  • The Cybertruck’s design and livery have been met with mixed reactions.
  • The electric pickup truck will likely patrol popular tourist destinations in the city.

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!”
