Jalisco Suspends Officers Filmed Streaming Video in Tesla Cybertruck Patrol Unit

A viral clip prompted an internal affairs probe that renewed scrutiny of the two million peso Cybertrucks meant for World Cup security.

Overview

  • The Secretaría de Seguridad de Jalisco launched an internal affairs investigation and removed the involved officers from active duty after the footage circulated.
  • Social media users have criticized the 900 million peso fleet modernization, which includes three Cybertrucks costing around two million pesos each.
  • Secretary Juan Pablo Hernández says the electric vehicles feature ballistic steel exteriors, integrated computers and camera systems for tactical intelligence tasks.
  • The Cybertrucks are part of a broader plan that added over 600 new vehicles and will deploy 4,500 personnel to safeguard tourist areas during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
  • Earlier mechanical failures and a minor crash in late June had already raised questions about the reliability of Jalisco’s advanced patrol fleet.
