> Crook remembered a case where his detectives drove 630 miles to Mexico to transport a potentially dangerous subject in their vehicle. If the detectives were in a Tesla, Crook noted they would have had to spend an hour in the middle of the drive at an unsecured public charging station standing guard over the person, something that would not happen with an internal combustion engine.
630 miles at 60 miles per hour average is 10 hours. Are they not stopping for food etc along they way? Can’t they charge then?
And if they are charging vehicles at night at the depot, what about all the 5 minute fuel stops they are saving under normal use? Do these negate this one-time hour?
Dangerous criminals still have human rights, which I imagine include things like food and toilet stops. Maybe food can be eaten on-the-go, but toilet stops are reasonable.
There’s no way they’re not stopping unless they had some sort of toilet for them I’m sure. Either they stopped at a secure facility or they had something in the vehicle.
