According to Sawyer Merritt, the Carl Junction Police Department in Missouri has integrated two Tesla Model Y vehicles into its fleet, leveraging advanced AI-assisted systems for law enforcement operations. The department reports a drastic reduction in operational costs, with charging a Model Y from zero to 100% costing only $2.30 compared to $24 for a 12-gallon fuel fill-up. The Tesla vehicles, equipped with AI-enabled autopilot and safety features, also extend operational range, requiring charging only once every three days versus daily refueling for gas-powered cars. This transition highlights the growing adoption of AI and electric vehicle technology in public sector fleets, offering significant long-term savings and operational efficiency (Source: Sawyer Merritt on Twitter).
