The most of the police force in America only use American cars. They tend to be bigger cars such as Dodge Chargers and Chevrolet Tahoes because these are strong, reliable, and easy to fix. Most undercover police cars are modestly equipped, so they don't shine. They don't have all the bells and whistles. Most undercover vehicles have less conspicuous colors such as gray and silver. They don't boast any aftermarket parts apart from the few modifications such as lights and tinted windows. Most of them are newer models, clean, and don't have major cosmetic damage such as big dents.

When looking for an undercover police car, there are some obvious things that may stand out. The steel wheels are part of most police cars because they are easily replaceable, and they handle shock much better than alloys. Undercover police cars also sport tinted windows, but don't sport ordinary license plates. They are still government vehicles so they have government plates. One of the biggest giveaway for an undercover police car are spotlights to search for criminals, bars in the rear windows, partitions between the front seats and rear seats, multiple antennas, and bull bars. However, not all undercover police cars sport these features.

On an undercover police, the lights are a great giveaway. The lights tend to be hidden in the grill, in the rear windshield, or near the front visors. When the lights are off, the just look like gray panels. Normal cars don't have a giant bar with different gray panels in the rear windshield or a bunch of gray panels in the grill. Any vehicle on the road with lights hidden is probably a police officer.

When trying to spot an undercover police car in America, you must put ALL these clues together. You cannot just rely on one. Modest American cars can just be ordinary citizens rather than undercover police cars. Spotlights on Ford Crown Victorias could be a civilian who finds it funny to buy a retired police car and scare everyone around them. If you don't want to invest in a proper radar detector but still want to avoid tickets, be smart and use these clues to help you.

Tesla is Doomed

Tesla is the most successful fully electric car brand to date. Their cars are extremely popular among rich people who want high tech toys as daily drivers. There are great reasons why their cars are so popular. They are extremely innovative. The Tesla Model X has falcon doors in the back, which adds convenience if they work properly. All Teslas have two trunks, one in the front, one in the back, which adds more practicality. Their cars have giant touch screens found nowhere else and the most advanced autopilot system available to consumers. Their cars hold records for 0-60 times thanks to instant torque from the electric motors. It is no wonder why people want Teslas.

But soon, Tesla is going to fail. Other manufactures such as BMW, Porsche, and Mercedes Benz are catching up. Porsche's impressive Mission E is going into production in 2020. BMW has promised twelve electric cars by the year 2025. Mercedes is planning an S class sized sedan to take on the Tesla Model S. Soon, Tesla will not be a class of its own. It will be in a boxing ring with multiple fit competitors.

Tesla is a new company, especially compared to BMW, Mercedes Benz, and Porsche. The automakers that are a primary threat to Tesla have a reputation for good quality vehicles. Their cars come off the lot with very few flaws, partly because they have experience. They have refined their manufacturing processes through learning, which is why they can mass produce vehicles with ease and meet quality standards.

Other issues with Tesla include the two fatal accident cases under investigation by the NTSB involving their autopilot system. Their autopilot system is immature and was released only to put a short term lead in front of the competition. Problems also persist of ballooning debt and dire financials. Tesla's debt has tripled in the last three years. The Tesla Model 3 has proven to be a financial burden. Tesla is burning money trying to put it into production. The Model 3 is what can save Tesla and fund future projects. If Tesla cannot get the Model 3 into customer hands and make money, then it cannot survive.

The bottom line is that Elon Musk needs to stop playing with rockets and flame throwers and start focusing on Tesla.
