0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Fox. Get this. You won't believe this, but it did happen. Fremont,

0:00:04.160 --> 0:00:07.760
<v Speaker 1>California Police Department began a pilot program. They wanted to

0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:10.760
<v Speaker 1>see how electric cars would work in their fleet. The

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:14.400
<v Speaker 1>only electric car that met their requirements wasn't Tesla. Well.

0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:18.079
<v Speaker 1>Last week, a cop driving the new Tesla, the environmentally

0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:21.439
<v Speaker 1>friendly electric squad car, ran into a problem. There was

0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:24.840
<v Speaker 1>a high speed chase. The cop radio dispatch to ask

0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:28.160
<v Speaker 1>for backup because his electric car was running out a charge,

0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:31.920
<v Speaker 1>running out of juice. His Tesla only had six miles

0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:34.840
<v Speaker 1>of battery life left. He was afraid the car would

0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:38.040
<v Speaker 1>run out of power any moment. A police spokesman later

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:40.199
<v Speaker 1>said the incident was a one off. It would not

0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 1>change their opinion about using electric patrol cars. Besides, they

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:47.599
<v Speaker 1>said the cars not fully charged before it was taken out.

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:50.320
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't the car's fault, so no harm, no foul,

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.640
<v Speaker 1>even if there was no juice. Now, don't get me wrong,

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:56.320
<v Speaker 1>I've got nothing against Tesla's. If you like them, have

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>at it. If you incorrectly believe that you're gonna say

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.280
<v Speaker 1>of the planet driving one, have at it. If you

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>think Gasolene's old hat, go for it. But here's why

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 1>fossil fuel going to be around for a very long time.

0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:11.760
<v Speaker 1>It's cheap, efficient, reliable, you don't run out of it

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>during a high speed chase, and you know what, you

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:16.200
<v Speaker 1>can drive faster than the bad guy. There is no

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 1>way this tesla was going to keep up with the

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 1>bad guy. The purp got away, the cops abandoned the chase,

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>but we saved the planet.
