A few days ago, it was learned from relevant sources that the New York City Police Department, the largest police department in the United States, plans to purchase 250 Model 3 cars from Tesla, which will enable these high-performance cars to enter the hands of the largest police force in the United States.
The NYPD will pay $51,940 per Model 3 to advance the gradual transition to electrification of police cars, and while the city has yet to commit to buying the cars, the contract, which will be discussed at a hearing Thursday morning, is worth around $12.4 million, according to the draft procurement contract.
The largest police station in the United States, the NYPD is staffed by nearly 36,000 uniformed police officers and 9,000 vehicles. Previously, Hertz announced the purchase of 100,000 Teslas for leasing business, and this time it was selected by the US Police Department to represent Tesla's future business will be more diversified and continue to pay attention.
