The Anaheim Police Department said it wanted to be the first department with a Cybertruck, according to an internal email obtained by 404 Media. But the company advertising the modified vehicles hasn’t actually made one yet, the police said.

    I think you might be being sarcastic, but in Anaheim? That is where Disneyland is located. Not much rural there.

      It was more a joke about the people who keep uploading videos of them “offroading” in their cybertrucks (trying to justify their purchase) and it’s really no different than a whole lot of actual rural roads that people drive on daily with their 20 year old two wheel drives sedans.

      I am not even sure you could find an unpaved road in Anaheim unless it is part of a park.

      I think they have speed bumps, don’t they? I know there are curbs just waiting to be run over.
