Sawyer Merritt (tweeted 2026-05-13) urged Florida’s governor to upgrade state agency and police gas fleets to Tesla Cybertrucks or Model Ys, claiming agencies would see “thousands in annual savings per vehicle.” He cites nationwide police conversions that save thousands on fuel and maintenance and points officials to UpfitTesla’s savings calculator (calculator.up.fit/#savings); UpfitTesla claims to sell more U.S. Tesla/EV patrol vehicles than anyone else.

Hi Governor, if you upgraded Florida's existing gas-powered state agency/police vehicle fleets to @Tesla Cybertrucks (or Model Ys), you would see thousands in annual savings per vehicle.

Many Police Departments around the country have already converted many of their gas-powered fleets to Tesla patrol vehicles, and they are already saving thousands on fuel and maintenance.

I would highly encourage you to take a look at this savings calculator from @UpfitTesla, who sells more Tesla/EV patrol vehicles in America than anyone else. It allows you to see the specific cost savings a Florida agency could experience based on the type of vehicle and usage scenario: calculator.up.fit/#savings
