Unplugged Performance took care of the Tesla Model S Plaid to turn it into a police car. The electric sedan thus becomes the most powerful American “interceptor”.
This is not the first time that a Tesla has taken on the colors of the American police. The city of Los Angeles had already shown Model S in its ranks in the past. Not far from the megacity, the Irvine police caused controversy by purchasing a Tesla Cybertruck.
But for this new model, it is Unplugged Performance, famous Tesla trainer, who must be thanked. Indeed, with its UP.FIT division, the craftsman has created several patrol cars for the American police. Among these, a Tesla Model S Plaid obviously impressed. Indeed, with its 1000 horsepower and its 0 to 100 km/h in less than 2 seconds, the model is the perfect interception vehicle.

Changes for better agility
Do not put in the hands of police officers not trained in its use, because the Plaid is powerful and Unplugged Performance has not modified the engine data. On the other hand, this special Model S receives reinforced brakes and lightweight rims. In addition, the entire electrical system has been revised to accommodate the entire light and sound part of the equipment.
With a range of more than 550 kilometers, this interceptor is not only fast, but it also has a good longevity, especially in the event of chases that could drag on.
“The UP.FIT Plaid Pursuit embodies everything we love about electric police vehicles” said Ben Schaffer, CEO of Unplugged Performance. “From exceptional acceleration and range to reduced maintenance and fuel costs, this platform equips law enforcement with the latest tools to improve their mission while saving taxpayer dollars and by promoting a cleaner future. »
The car will join the Los Angeles County Sherriff Department’s community competition vehicle program. The objective of this conversion is obviously to show the importance of the electric transition.
