Comment Now! California-based UP.FIT, a division of Tesla tuner Unplugged Performance, has turned a Tesla Model S Plaid into a police car. Debuting at the 2024 SEMA show in Las Vegas, the Plaid police cruiser is destined for a community outreach program of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, according to Unplugged Performance. The company's UP.FIT division has done several Tesla police conversions, including a Cybertruck police cruiser, and made similar modifications to this Model S.

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.

But the police conversion included lighter wheels and upgraded brakes. While Tesla does not offer factory police packages, forcing departments to rely on aftermarket companies like Unplugged Performance, several other automakers do sell electric police cars. General Motors offers a police version of the Chevrolet Blazer EV. Ford does the same with its F-150 Lightning, and has built a limited number of Mustang Mach-E police cars for the New York Police Department. Stellantis looks set to launch a police version of the Dodge Charger Daytona as well.
