Cybertruck to serve as brush truck and command vehicle for Florida fire department

[ModelAZ]

NEWS (per @sawyermerritt):

Lake Alfred, Florida Fire Department has purchased a Cybertruck to operate as a brush truck.

It’ll be equipped with a 150-gallon water tank to support firefighting. The Cybertruck will save the department $170k vs a traditional gas brush truck (which costs $300k). The Cybertruck will also used as a command vehicle.

This will the first Cybertruck brush truck in the United States. The fire chief owns a Tesla himself, which played into the decision to buy the Cybertruck for $131k for the department. The truck will be upfit by UPfit, a division of @Unpluggedperformance

Note: this render is from @Unpluggedperformance and it is something that they can build, but that won’t be Lake Alred fire department’s spec).

Not the "first". I've been using mine as a brush truck for over a year.

Having an aimable water cannon with 200 gallons of water would be great at Summer Beach Parties! Even if it was just a gentle cooling spray.

They say it will cost $131K. I'm surprised the upfitting charge would be $50K but I hope they didn't splurge on the Beast! That would be irresponsible use of the taxpayer's money.

Per Grok, "...This is noted as the first Cybertruck used by a fire department in the US, and it saves around $170k compared to a traditional gas-powered brush truck (which can run near $300k).
...It is not the Cyberbeast variant. Reports consistently describe it as a standard 2025 Tesla Cybertruck (likely the AWD model)..."
