1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Fox. Get this. You won't believe this, but it did happen. Fremont,

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: California Police Department began a pilot program. They wanted to

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: see how electric cars would work in their fleet. The

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: only electric car that met their requirements was at Tesla. Well,

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 1: last week, a cop driving the new Tesla, the environmentally

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: friendly electric squad car, ran into a problem. There was

7
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: a high speed chase. The cop radio dispatch to ask

8
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: for backup because his electric car was running out of charge,

9
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: running out of juice. His Tesla only had six miles

10
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: of battery life left. He was afraid the car would

11
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: run out of power any moment. A police spokesman later

12
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: said the incident was a one off. It would not

13
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: change their opinion about using electric patrol cars. Besides, they

14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: said the cars not fully charged before it was taken out.

15
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: It wasn't the car's fault, so no harm, no foul,

16
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: even if there was no juice. Now, don't get me wrong,

17
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: I've got nothing against Tesla's. If you like them, have

18
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: at it. If you incorrectly believe that you're gonna say

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: of the planet driving one, have at it. If you

20
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: think Gasolene's old hat, go for it. But here's why

21
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: fossil fuel going to be around for a very long time.

22
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: It's cheap, efficient, reliable, you don't run out of it

23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: during a high speed chase, and you know what, you

24
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: can drive faster than the bad guy. There is no

25
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: way this tesla was going to keep up with the

26
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: bad guy. The purp got away, the cops abandoned the chase,

27
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: but we saved the planet.
