I've never seen a police car here in NY that gets shut off when officers arrive at a scene, or anywhere else for that matter... heck, I've seen the cars unoccupied/idling in front of the precinct ... they leave them running all the time for climate control, lights, computers... and worse, Las Vegas in the summer?

Ford CEO says a ‘shocking’ discovery after taking apart rival Tesla and Chinese EVs led to a ‘brutal’ business decision
Ford CEO Jim Farley said he was struck by a “shocking” discovery when digging into competitors’ vehicles, and it spurred him into taking action that would help the legacy carmaker compete with the likes of Tesla and Chinese upstarts.
When taking apart competitors’ vehicles, as is standard practice in the automobile industry, Farley said the company found Ford’s Mustang Mach-E had about 1.6 km, or nearly a mile, more wiring than a Tesla Model 3. When it took apart vehicles from its Chinese competitors, the findings were similarly surprising.

To me, that means more things are sent over the network(s), leading to more things that don't work right. I can site one example: In some newer Subarus, the power windows operate via network commands. When the battery runs down or is disconnected, the right passenger window switch doesn't work correctly and the driver has to preform a reset procedure. With a simple switch and wires, this problem wouldn't happen. It's a feature, not a bug, however, because the reset procedure is documented by Subaru.

I only met one person who had any interest in this EV and he does not even use a truck like a truck is made to be used. Can't even say I have seen one of these on the road, well I was not really looking either though. Take your losses and move on...
