The basic principle of every electric car involuntarily served the police. The perpetrators only reached the charging station a few kilometers from the crime scene.
The security forces of the United States are developing an adversarial relationship with electric cars. On the one hand, many police departments welcome silent cars ready for action at any time without starting, warming up or refueling, the camp of opponents draws attention to the limited perimeter of action due to the low range.
Both sides are right, because not only in the USA have been recorded a number of cases acting both for and against electric cars. The latest media scandal rather amused the absurdity of the course than increased the tension between conservative and progressive motorists. The audience smilingly accepted the news about a pair of robbers, who betrayed the basic principle of any full-fledged car into the socket.
The Tesla Model X acted as a very effective tool of law and order when it required a charge while fleeing from a robbery. Officers caught up with the two suspects at the nearest charger, about a quarter of an hour from the robbed Sam’s Club store on Gravel Springs Road in Buford. The Gwinnett County station boasted about the bizarre crime on the Internet.
After arriving at the reported event, the witnesses only managed to approximately describe the appearance of the vehicle. Soon, the probability of being caught dropped rapidly, as imprecise identification became meaningless in streets full of similar vehicles. Available information was broadcast over radios with surprising feedback. The patrol evaluated the described data as unexpectedly accurate for a Tesla charging about 10 miles (16 km) from the attacked establishment of a general store.
Two gentlemen were detained with a discharged Model X – it is not clear who the car belonged to, but the disappearance did not guarantee them. The perpetrator was betrayed by the much-criticized range, which does not choose the current situation. The SUV from Tesla boasts a endurance of over 550 kilometers, which is the maximum valid for everyone – even for thieves. In addition to the accused couple, the police discovered stolen items in the car. Sam’s Club estimated the property damage at around eight thousand dollars (CZK 176,000). The police also found two large plastic bags filled with marijuana, and the tell-all are several seized weapons.
