Cops handing out drugs from a cybertruck saying shit like "this stuff is the skibidi rizzlest!" sounds like the best way to keep kids off drugs. It's like watching your dad get into that thing you like and suddenly that thing is super uncool.

... yea, that would probably work.
The cybertruck is 100% the result of misuse of drugs, and if presented in that fashion, might at least help in some way with making it clear how important it can be to use drugs responsibly.
For some reason this had me thinking of the scene in Waterboy where Bobby gives a talk to some kids, and immediately when he finishes the teacher or coach or whatever for the kids says "which brings me to my next point: Don't. Smoke. Crack." And all the kids just nod. Just replace Bobby with Elon presenting the cybertruck.
Wankers. ACAB.

Cybertrucks

Bad
The ~~uninsurable~~ cybertruck being bought by police stations is the surest sign that police are ignorant money sinks.
uninsurable
That story was fake news based on one tweet
Thanks for the update. Corrections tend to be buried. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/geico-tesla-cybertruck-coverage/
I love that the Snopes article has this whole sidebar about how unreliable the cybertruck is to explain why the tweet was so believable
It is a pretty fantastic read.
I think if I were like 10 years old and some cop showed up in a Cybertruck and told me not to use drugs, I'd probably wonder what's so good about drugs instead.
Oh don’t worry, that’s dare’s normal effect
"Hey kids, this is what cars look like when you're on drugs. Do you really want THAT?"
Oh good, now you can get away with crime if it's raining
'member when all the "cool" DARE cop cars were seized drug dealer cars?
This seems like a wild misuse of government services. Aren't the police in the law enforcement game and not the drug abuse game? Why aren't the city bus drivers also teaching these programs and getting to drive around sweet ass cybertrucks?
Honestly, for a promotional event it's not the worst thing ever. The kids will all come over and oogle it.
The army landed an Apache in the middle of our track in high school. A cybertruck's practically a bargain comparatively
Odds are that single helicopter landing cost more than this.
Yeah but that is usually part of their training, at the very least it is for jet flyovers.
