"Tesla police vehicle ran out of power during a car chase in California
A California police department is adding fuel to the electric car debate after one of its patrol cars, a Tesla Model S, nearly ran out of juice during a vehicle pursuit last week......
......... “I lit him up and he is not yielding. We are in pursuit,” Hartman is heard saying over the radio, according to Broadcastify audio obtained by ABC News.
The pursuit then kicked off into a high-speed highway chase toward San Jose. Additional Fremont police officers and California Highway Patrol responded within minutes, as Hartman raced after the suspect at more than 100 miles per hour on Interstate-680 South.
Meanwhile, requests for a CHP helicopter were made and San Jose authorities were notified.
“120 [miles per hour] ... light traffic,” one officer said on the radio, police sirens heard ringing in the background.
Then the Tesla alerted Hartman that there was an issue with the vehicle.
“I’m down to 6 miles of battery,” began Hartman. “I may lose it here in a sec. If someone else is able, can they maneuver into the number one spot?” Hartman asked the other officers on the radio. ........."

While evaluating their approach, these officials might consider the fate of a local Mexican mayor. Yes, we know y'all are more civilized than that. Charles I would agree no doubt.

Chaos in California as Tesla drivers are stranded for hours in a half-a-mile-long line to charge their cars on Black Friday
Shanon Stellini was travelling through Kettleman City on November 30 when she stumbled across around 50 of the electric cars waiting in line for a recharge The stagnant procession reportedly spanned back more than half a mile ‘Bet they wish they had gas’, quipped Stellini’s partner in a video she captured of the backlog - but for the drivers stranded it was no laughing matter The Supercharging station's 40 charge points was still not enough to meet the overwhelming demand of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend To make matters worse, simultaneous re-charging slows down the speed of for everyone – stalling a process that can already take up to 75 minutes "
