Ontario police add the Tesla Model X to fight crime... and not everyone is happy

We already know that police forces in several countries set their sights on cars that stand out from the ordinary to strengthen their vehicle fleets. The Canadian police are one of those forces seeking to reinforce their image with these rather impressive cars, and that is why they have decided to take a step forward and look for a car that stands out from all the others. So the Ontario police has decided to add a Tesla Model X to its fleet, and has fitted it out with all the elements that should form part of a practical police vehicle.

The car will be presented during the 2018 Canadian International Auto Show, where it will look as spectacular as you can see in these images shared on social media by Sergeant Kerry Schmidt. During those days, taxpayers will be able to see how the Ontario police division has invested the money.

This variant of the Tesla Model X is not the only one serving in a police fleet, so it joins an exclusive and fairly short list of this model that will serve the community as a patrol vehicle. In the case of the Ontario police, this Model X has undergone several modifications that will allow it to offer things that other units of this model do not have.

It must be remembered that the Tesla Model X is a luxury car with many capabilities that set it apart from other electric vehicles, which may be more suitable for the sustainable procurement of a publicly funded fleet. This has prompted some complaints from long-suffering taxpayers in Canada, although others have also praised the Ontario police for beginning to use electric cars to fight crime in this Canadian city.

Among the police forces that use the Tesla Model X are those of Denver and Los Angeles in the United States, and in Europe there is one unit in Luxembourg. Scotland Yard is also considering adding 250 electric vehicles to its fleet, and some of them could be a similar variant of the Tesla Model X. Bear in mind that the price of this car in Canada is 102,300 Canadian dollars, a far from light investment. What do you think of this very special Model X?
