Tesla, the leading brand of the electric car industry, came to the fore when a driver dived into the ocean with a model vehicle called ‘Model 3’. Although “driving on water” is not among the features of the car, the Model 3 pleased the police teams in the UK. The vehicle, which was put to the test for about nine months, managed to get full marks from the police teams at the end of this process.
Max Toozs-Hobson, Accounting Manager of Tesla, shared that the Model 3, which is used by police teams in the United Kingdom, was both very successful during the task and attracted the attention of the public. In addition, it has very important features that make the car perfect for police teams.
Both efficient and economical:
When the vehicle’s capacity to work with the siren was measured during the tests, it was discovered that it started the sirens for a record four hours. In addition, the extra equipment that the police placed on the vehicle did not cause almost any change in the battery level. While the ‘Automatic License Plate Reader’ systems affect the battery power very little during the three-hour test, it is possible to access laptop computers from the USB-C outlets in the vehicle.
One of the question marks about the Model 3 was whether it would be difficult to charge while on duty. But this question mark soon disappeared. A Model 3 with a range of approximately 130 km on its battery can be charged to 70% in 20 minutes at fast charging stations. In this way, at least 6 more hours of driving can be provided for a fee of 20 pounds. Another economical aspect of the Model 3 is that it is very low in maintenance. It can be said that the Model 3, which has been subjected to rigorous tests for 9 months, has successfully completed this journey. It looks like the new favorite of the UK police teams has been revealed.
