What i've read on CT's they won't make a good police vehicle. Not even close.

Their main purpose is to intimidate the poor, they work pretty well for that purpose. Your metrics are not adjusted to the current state of affairs, in a fascist state they actually make great police vehicles.

Plus I think heat is bad for batteries so I don't think the desert is a great place for it.

Vegas hasn't learned from the hyperloop?

Why are they so eager to be scammed?

Oh right, it's Vegas 🤣

Can you even put a suspect in the back seat? I have ever seen anyone riding in the back seat, it's always a lonely douche inside.

Also can this literal trashcan go over 70 MPH in a chase?

Just outrun them. They can't use them to PIT as they'll lock up and have to be trailered to a special dealership to be fixed.
