Cybertruck police cruisers set to patrol World Cup matches in Mexico

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Tesla's roughly 7,000-pound stainless steel Cybertruck may not have sold particularly well among the general public, but it does appear to have found a receptive audience in one particular cohort: law enforcement. Police departments across the US--and as far away as the Qatar--have been spotted driving the electric behemoth. Now, a jet-black, militarized Cybertruck is reportedly among the vehicles set to respond to potential incidents during 2026 World Cup matches taking place in Jalisco, Mexico. Officials from the central state of Jalisco said this week that several Cybertrucks will be among 300 new tactical, armored vehicles added to its fleet. The move, first reported by the Jalisco-based newspaper El Informador, is part of a broader effort to revamp the state's police force in preparation for the influx of tourists expected to visit the capitol, Guadalajara, for World Cup matches next year.
