Ontario Provincial Police Cybertruck and Model X Rendering

The Ontario Provincial Police Highway Safety Division posted this rendering of a Cybertruck Police vehicle as well as a Model X. There’s already a few police stations using the Model S as well as the Model 3 as part of their squad car fleet. The Cybertruck could prove to be the most versatile.
