Q: Why now? Why not wait a few more years?

Because the cost of waiting is real, recurring, and growing. Every month that you continue running legacy gasoline patrol vehicles, you continue paying for fuel, maintenance, idle time, and repair events that simply do not exist on an UP.FIT Tesla. That money is gone forever. Each UP.FIT vehicle that you onboard is an investment in your agency that can begin delivering financial returns as soon as day one.

A few framing points worth considering:

• 1. Tesla vehicles are ready to deploy now, with our typical delivery window for your turnkey vehicle and completed upfitting is around ~90 days from payment and agency-specific equipment receipt.
• 2. Cooperative purchasing, incentives, and grants are available right now — Sourcewell #081325 for vehicle procurement under a cooperative purchase agreement, utility rebates for charging infrastructure, and more. Programs do not last forever. Let us help you apply.
• 3. We can install your charging infrastructure early. Installing additional capacity during your pilot phase is far cheaper than doing it later under regulatory pressure (e.g., the Advanced Clean Fleets rule).
• 4. Recruiting advantage. The next generation of law enforcement is enthusiastic about driving UP.FIT Tesla vehicles. We hear it every time we put officers behind the wheel.
• 5. Community engagement. Demonstrating modernization and tangible taxpayer savings is a strong message to the community and you will be able to share this message enthusiastically with the community. Trust us, you will be asked about your futuristic UP.FIT vehicles and that’s an opportunity for a positive interaction with a community member, unrelated to enforcement.

The right time to start your pilot is now, while the savings can compound over the entire life of your UP.FIT fleet vehicles — not after budget pressure forces your hand.
