The next Tesla to become a cop car is the Model S Plaid
UP.FIT, a division of Unplugged Performance created the police package for the Model S
UP.FIT has also made a police-spec Cybertruck
Unplugged Performance is displaying a new Tesla police car from its UP.FIT division at the 2024 SEMA show in Las Vegas. This time, it's the Model S Plaid that's reporting for duty.
Set to be delivered to a community outreach program of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the Plaid received a new wiring harness to integrate police lights, which are mounted behind the windshield and rear window, as well as along the side skirts, to eliminate the aerodynamic drag created by a conventional light bar, according to Unplugged Performance.
Other police equipment includes a push bar, high- and low-frequency sirens, and a public address system. All of this equipment adds weight, but Unplugged Performance estimates a relatively small drop in range to 345 miles, compared to 359 miles for the standard Plaid.

The police-spec Plaid retains the stock tri-motor all-wheel drive powertrain, which generates 1,020 hp and allows for 0-60 mph acceleration in 1.9 seconds, according to Tesla. Unplugged Performance upgraded the brakes and installed lighter wheels, though.
Unplugged Performance has also built a police Tesla Cybertruck, which was delivered to the Irvine Police Department in California earlier this year. As with civilian EVs, California leads the way in electric police cars. One California police department already has an all-electric fleet, consisting of 10 Tesla Model 3 sedans and 10 Model Y crossovers.
