In 2021, the City of Hallandale Beach acquired 13 Tesla Model Y vehicles for its Police Department. These vehicles were operationalized in June 2022, and Hallandale Beach’s purchase may position it as the largest rollout of full-size electric vehicles for law enforcement use in the United States. Notably, Tesla Model Y vehicles are not reasonably priced. The base price of a Model Y commences at approximately $45,000, excluding any tax credits or incentives, which, incidentally, will be phased out for the average consumer.
