Tesla won the contract, which resulted in a total of two Model 3 Standard Range Plus vehicles being purchased along with wall chargers and a solar system to charge the vehicles.
When asked why he chose the Tesla Model 3, Police Chief Foti Koskinas says he “believes in being green.” However, the car’s unmatched performance for the money, its 5 star safety rating, and top-of-the-industry collision avoidance technology also played a factor.
