Instead of an proper police vehicle we get an expensive police state vehicle….
You obviously have no idea what they cost when obtained on a state contract.
Cost more than the Charger, Explorer do and what the Caprice did.
My city replaces squads at about 125,000 miles and sells Tahoes to small town southern departments for over 20k the Chargers they sell have a poor resale value.
1.I would not call them expensive,with the upgrades from the last gen.they will probably still cost less than 40k. when Guestt gets his way we can put his “social workers” in a less than 20k econobox.
It’s completely unclear from this article whether this “ground fastners” purpose is ELECTRICAL, to properly ground radio equipment installed in the Tahoes or whether it’s purpose is to physically secure radio equipment.
The author of this article clearly doesn’t understand the difference, and/or used incorrect nformation supplied by GM.
Me: EE, Automotive Electronics instructor.
So a disagreement with what a cost of a patrol vehicle means “social worker “?, bet you’re the type of guy that calls SWAT for issuing a parking ticket.
Quit trying to act like you know what you are talking about when you obviously do not. You started out with an economic issue and now you are trying to make it political. Just go into the corner and sulk.
