The Dubai Police, renowned for its fleet of high-end patrol vehicles, has recently welcomed a new member: the Tesla Cybertruck. This electric SUV, with its distinctive white and green livery, marks a dramatic shift from its familiar steel-grey finish. The Cybertruck will now patrol the streets of Dubai, further enhancing the city’s commitment to integrating advanced law enforcement technology.
The Dubai Police fleet is already a petrolhead’s paradise, featuring some of the world’s most luxurious and high-performance vehicles. From Lamborghinis and Ferraris to Bentleys and Aston Martins, the fleet is a testament to Dubai’s opulence and love for cutting-edge technology. The addition of the Tesla Cybertruck only adds to the allure, positioning Dubai Police as a pioneer in adopting futuristic and sustainable patrol vehicles.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk, known for his social media presence, responded to the announcement with a succinct “Cool 😎”, while Tesla’s Cybertruck account expressed gratitude, stating, “Very cool to see – thanks for the trust!” This public endorsement from Musk and Tesla further amplifies the vehicle’s appeal and highlights its potential as a reliable patrol car.
The Tesla Cybertruck has garnered immense popularity, thanks to rigorous advertising by Musk and a dedicated fanbase. Its stainless steel exoskeleton, which Musk claims is bulletproof, sets it apart from other vehicles in its class. Introduced in 2019, the Cybertruck’s delivery began across the U.S. towards the end of 2023. However, there were reports of issues with the vehicle’s accelerators, leading to a temporary halt in deliveries in April 2024.

According to carandbike, The Tesla Cybertruck comes in various configurations, including the Cyberbeast, All-Wheel-Drive (AWD), and Rear-Wheel-Drive (RWD) variants. The top-spec Cyberbeast variant boasts impressive performance figures, accelerating from 0-100 km/h in just 2.6 seconds and reaching a top speed of 209 km/h. It is powered by electric motors producing 845 bhp and a staggering 14,000 Nm of peak torque.

These specifications highlight the Cybertruck’s versatility and suitability for various patrol scenarios.
The Cybertruck is expected to be a natural fit in the Dubai Police fleet, especially in tourist areas. Its eye-catching design and futuristic appeal make it an instant attention-stealer. Dubai’s exotic cop cars are already a tourist attraction, often seen patrolling popular destinations and drawing the interest of visitors and residents alike. The Cybertruck, with its unique aesthetics and advanced technology, will undoubtedly contribute to this appeal.
Dubai Police’s decision to include the Tesla Cybertruck in its fleet aligns with its tradition of incorporating innovative and luxurious vehicles. The fleet also includes the McLaren Artura, Mercedes-AMG G63, Lamborghini Aventador, Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari FF, Bentley Continental GT Speed, Aston Martin Vantage, and more. These vehicles not only serve functional purposes but also enhance the city’s image as a hub of luxury and technological advancement.
