UP.FIT'S TESLA CYBERTRUCK PATROL REDEFINES SAFETY VEHICLES
The Tesla Cybertruck Patrol is no longer a concept. In June 2024, UP.FIT, a specialized division of Unplugged Performance, unveiled the world's first Tesla Cybertruck police vehicle, a purpose-built law enforcement platform that brings electric performance and tactical capability to public safety agencies across the United States.
What Is the UP.FIT Tesla Cybertruck Patrol?
Announced on June 7, 2024, the UP.FIT Cybertruck Patrol is the result of a collaboration between Unplugged Performance's upfitting division and fleet operators looking for a next-generation patrol vehicle. Built on the Tesla Cybertruck's stainless steel exoskeleton, the platform delivers the kind of sports-car grade on-road capability that traditional police cruisers simply cannot match.
UP.FIT designed this vehicle from the ground up as a serious law enforcement tool, not a showcase piece. According to the official UP.FIT press release, the program was built to serve police departments, fire departments, military units, and tactical response agencies that need a vehicle capable of handling demanding operational environments while reducing fuel and maintenance costs.
What Equipment Does the Cybertruck Patrol Carry?
The cybertruck police car upfit goes well beyond a light bar and a radio. UP.FIT equips each unit with a comprehensive suite of law enforcement hardware integrated cleanly into the Cybertruck's architecture.
Standard and available configurations include:
- Emergency warning lights, sirens, and PA systems
- Upgraded radios and in-vehicle computer systems
- Prisoner partitions and K9 enclosures
- Weapon storage and specialty tool compartments
- UP.FIT forged wheel and tire packages
- Advanced braking systems
- Starlink internet connectivity
- Fleet management software
AutoEvolution noted that the vehicle cuts an imposing profile on the road, combining the Cybertruck's angular stainless steel body with the visual authority of a full police livery, light clusters, and tactical outfitting.
Who Is the Cybertruck Patrol Built For?
The Unplugged Performance Cybertruck upfits program targets agencies that want to future-proof their fleets. The vehicle is designed for police patrol, fire department response, military operations, and tactical units. UP.FIT also supports the transition with training programs tailored for field-training officers and EVOC (Emergency Vehicle Operations Course) instructors, making it practical for departments adopting electric platforms for the first time.
The Irvine Police Department was among the first to put the platform into service, deploying the Cybertruck Patrol as part of their DARE program. Deliveries to other agencies began in late 2024. CarBuzz covered the broader implications of the cybertruck patrol vehicle concept, pointing to it as a signal of where fleet electrification is heading for public safety.
How Does It Compare to Other Tactical Vehicles?
The UP.FIT Cybertruck Patrol occupies a unique position between traditional patrol cars and purpose-built tactical platforms. For agencies interested in hardened, high-performance vehicles, the broader market includes options like the Rezvani Arsenal, a high-performance SUV built for demanding environments, and the Rezvani Tank Military Edition, an armored SUV designed for extreme operational conditions.
For those who require armored protection with luxury capability, the Rezvani Vengeance represents the armored luxury SUV segment at its most capable. All of these platforms reflect a growing demand for vehicles that go beyond standard production specs for professional and tactical use.
