The Dubai Police may have had a good idea when they decided to incorporate the Tesla Cybertruck to its fleet of patrol cars. Actually, the authorities of this Arab Emirate made this decision because the electric pickup attracts many eyes and is a magnet for selfies, but now it has just become clear that it also serves to neutralize the cars of criminals.
It has been demonstrated by Stefen Phelps, a user of Facebook who has published what happened a few days ago in Florida, United States to the person who rented his Tesla Cybertruck through Turo, a car rental company between individuals, that is, the Airbnb of cars.
According to Phelps, the person who rented his particular green vinyl Cybertruck was about to arrive home at the wheel of the pickup when he received a notification on his cell phone that there was movement at the door of his home. They were stealing a package and he recovered it thanks to the Tesla Cybertruck,
Take advantage of the acceleration and size of the Tesla Cybertruck to cut off thieves
The notification was accompanied with a video in which a person was seen at the door of the house. He was a thief who took a package that, previously, a delivery man had left there. In the video you can see him taking the package and running away with the ‘loot’ to get into a car and flee.
Well, the owner of the package arrived just in time and decided take justice into your own hands to recover what had been stolen. What he did was step on the accelerator of the Tesla Cybertuck he was driving to crash into the car in which the thief was fleeing.
In the same video you can see how the Cybertruck passes at full speed in front of the house and a few seconds later a loud bang is heard. In another video that Phelps uploaded to a Tesla Cybertruck Facebook group, everything is seen much better.
That another video It is recorded with the Tesla Cybertruck’s dash cam. You can see how the driver arrives just in time at his street to catch the thief red-handed because the camera records the crook running and getting into the vehicle that was waiting for him in a double line. The driver of the Cybertruck accelerates and prevents the thieves’ car from turning at the end of the street, causing it to crash against a tree.
The Tesla Cybertruck hit the thieves’ car from behind and stayed there so they couldn’t flee. As Phelps explains, “he accelerated and crashed into said pirate, making a sandwich between the thief’s car and a tree.”
The driver of the Cybertruck managed to recover his package and, according to his account Carscoops After speaking with Phelps, the three people who were inside the car that ended up against the tree were detained. Apparently, in the United States it is common for delivery people to leave packages at the door of homes when no one is inside and it is increasingly common for thieves to steal them.
As for Phelps’ Tesla Cybertruck decorated with a striking green vinyl, the impact caused damage to the hood, one of the front fenders, a headlight and the bumper, but Phelps assures that TURO is processing the incident without problem, despite the fact that the Tesla model has become a headache for insurers.
