Engineered for Duty

Built by the team behind North America's
first all-electric police fleet.

Every UP.FIT Patrol Model Y begins as a new Tesla Model Y, delivered by Tesla's Government Fleet team directly to our production facilities and transformed into a complete, duty-ready patrol vehicle — emergency lighting, siren, partition, console, weapon mounts, pursuit hardware, and wiring engineered specifically for Tesla's low-voltage architecture. One build. One point of accountability. Full Tesla warranty intact.

Duty-Ready Cockpit

A cockpit designed around the duty belt.

We replace the OEM center console with our custom-engineered, lowered center console — iterated across multiple model years of officer feedback. It's the single most-commented-on feature when officers sit in an UP.FIT vehicle for the first time.

  • Lowered console with T-rail mounting system — more hip room with a holstered weapon
  • 21-button light & siren controller, positioned for no-look operation
  • MDT / laptop mount with integrated power — your dock, professionally installed
  • Radio and communications equipment installed and validated before delivery
  • Magnetic mic mount and dual weapon mounting provisions
Prisoner Transport

Secure transport, engineered — not adapted.

Our prisoner partition is purpose-built for the Model Y platform, available as a single (half) or dual (full) cage. Most agencies choose the single cage — it keeps the behind-the-driver area usable for locked storage.

  • Custom-engineered, integrated center-pull retractable seatbelts for safer securing of the transportee
  • Molded, seamless transport seat that cleans out in minutes
  • Single or dual cage configurations — K-9 enclosures also available
  • Padded B-pillar protection and sealed cabin separation
  • Supervisor builds can skip the partition for maximum interior room
Officer Workflow

Every detail placed for the way officers actually work.

Wide rear-door access to the transport area, seatbelt hardware an officer can operate one-handed from outside the vehicle, and equipment placement refined across hundreds of deployed builds. Nothing on this vehicle is an afterthought — including the parts you touch a dozen times per shift.

  • Center-pull belt reachable from the door opening — no leaning across the transportee
  • Roof-mounted low-profile Whelen light bar with integrated scene lighting
  • Antenna and radio pass-throughs installed clean, with no compromised seals

The patrol vehicle that gets better after deployment.

Beneath the light bar, every UP.FIT Patrol Model Y is a rolling AI platform: eight cameras with 360-degree coverage around the vehicle, onboard neural-net compute, and Tesla Full Self-Driving (Supervised)§ capability. On shift today, that means active collision avoidance, supervised driver assistance that cuts fatigue on long patrols, and continuous multi-camera vision — situational awareness no legacy cruiser can match.

And it compounds. Tesla ships new capability over the air, so the autonomy stack your fleet carries keeps advancing for years after delivery — no retrofit, no repurchase. Today's deployment is your platform for the autonomous era of law enforcement.

UP.FIT Pursuit Package

Track-tested. EVOC-proven. Pursuit-ready.

Tesla's instant torque and low center of gravity already outrun and out-handle legacy patrol vehicles. Our pursuit package makes sure the braking system keeps up — engineered, track-tested, and validated far beyond factory heat tolerances by EVOC instructors from agencies across the country.

  • Unplugged Performance 6-piston Big Brake Kit with larger rotors and calipers
  • Thermally upgraded brake pads based on our track-proven racing compounds
  • Stainless steel brake lines and high-temperature DOT 4 brake fluid
  • Adjustable rear suspension modification for loaded patrol weight
  • Two tiers available: Thermally-Upgraded Brakes or the Full Pursuit Package
  • Validated on track at EVOC events — driven back-to-back against legacy patrol units
UP.FIT Forged

18" forged aluminum police wheels.

High-strength UP.FIT Forged aluminum wheels paired with pursuit-rated tires — built for curb strikes, high-speed maneuvering, and the daily abuse of patrol duty. The same wheels we deploy on patrol fleets nationwide, engineered specifically for the Model Y platform.

  • Forged aluminum construction — stronger than cast OEM wheels
  • Pursuit-rated tire fitment, sized for duty load and braking upgrades
  • Clears the Unplugged Performance Big Brake Kit
Weapon Mounting

Secured, upright, within reach.

Long guns mount vertically against the partition between the front seats — locked, stable at pursuit speeds, and reachable without leaving the driver's seat. Provisions for up to three weapon mounts are integrated into the build, positioned around the console and MDT so nothing competes for space.

  • Partition-integrated vertical mounting between the front seats
  • Up to three weapon mounts per vehicle, configured to your rack hardware
  • Placement validated with officers in full duty gear
Turnkey Delivery

In service the day it arrives.

Your vehicle shows up patrol-ready: radio, MDT, and radar installed and validated, graphics applied, and every system tested before it leaves our facility. Tesla's Government Fleet team delivers the vehicles directly to us — one build, one timeline, one point of accountability.

  • Your radio, MDT dock, and antennas installed and commissioned
  • Axon Fleet camera wiring and prep — your local certified Axon installer finishes commissioning
  • California agencies receive their vehicle plate-ready; other states receive the MCO for new-vehicle registration
  • Officer and maintenance training available at delivery
Officer Safety

Five-star safety engineered for patrol duty.

The Tesla Model Y is among the safest vehicles ever tested — and our upfit work is engineered to preserve that. We never splice into airbag systems, structural elements, or active safety hardware. The vehicle that leaves our facility protects officers the same way the OEM vehicle does.

Equipment Storage

More usable storage than departments expect.

Electronics live in a dedicated cabinet — not scattered across the trunk — so every compartment stays available for gear. No bulky drawer system required.

1

Equipment cabinet

Behind the rear seat — all electronics organized in one serviceable location.

2

Deep trunk well

Beneath the load floor, where a gas tank would be — plus two side wells.

3

Sub-floor compartment

Between the rear seat and the rear well for controlled, out-of-sight storage.

4

Front trunk (frunk)

Additional sealed storage no gasoline patrol vehicle can offer.

5

Behind-driver area

With the single partition, remains usable for locked storage.

The Frunk

Where the engine used to be, put the gear that saves lives.

The front trunk is storage no gasoline patrol vehicle can offer — and departments put it to work. An AED, first-responder trauma kit, and fire extinguisher ride sealed, protected, and accessible in seconds from the front of the vehicle, without digging through the trunk at a critical moment.

Total Cost of Ownership

Better than budget-neutral from day one.

Paired with a government lease ($1 buyout), fuel and maintenance savings carry the payments — in most cases the cash-flow lines never cross. We model it conservatively, with your local fuel prices and your actual duty cycles, using real-world data from deployed UP.FIT fleets.

$7,000–$19,000Typical per-vehicle annual savings, depending on utilization
$100,000+Potential per-vehicle savings over a typical seven-year fleet cycle

Patrol Model Y — Questions we hear most

Answered in plain language by the team that builds your vehicles.

Is the range enough for our patrol shift?
Yes — with 294–357 miles of EPA-rated range by trim, a full charge covers a full day of patrol end-to-end with margin to spare. A patrol vehicle driving 20,000 miles a year averages about 76 miles per day. Running 24/7? Just 8–15 minutes at a Supercharger per shift covers consumption for most use cases.
What charging infrastructure do we need?
For most departments: a bank of Level 2 chargers — cheaper to install, faster to deploy, and well-matched to overnight or shift-change charging. We design and build both Level 2 and Level 3, and charging-as-a-service is available with zero up-front deployment cost. A nearby Supercharger can carry a pilot program while your station infrastructure is built.
Does upfitting void the Tesla warranty?
No. Our components are electrically isolated from Tesla's systems, and we've validated that UP.FIT vehicles maintain Tesla's full vehicle and battery/drive-unit warranty — 8 years / 100,000 miles on Standard trims and 8 years / 120,000 miles on Premium trims.
Is it pursuit-rated?
"Pursuit-Rated" refers to the MSP and LASD evaluation programs, which have historically tested vehicles only directly from OEMs. In the meantime, LASD deputies and EVOC instructors across the country have driven UP.FIT vehicles back-to-back with their legacy patrol units — and our Full Pursuit Package (Unplugged Performance Big Brake Kit, thermally upgraded pads, stainless lines, high-temp fluid, adjustable rear suspension) is the pursuit hardware to pair with Tesla's speed and handling advantages.
How can we afford it when the sticker price is higher than a Ford Explorer?
A government/municipal lease with a $1 buyout. You pay over a 5–6 year term while fuel and maintenance savings accumulate over the same window — in most cases the operating savings carry the lease payments, making the switch better than budget-neutral from day one. Model your own payments at calculator.up.fit.
What equipment do we supply versus what UP.FIT installs?
You ship us your radio, antennas, MDT/laptop dock, and power supply. We install everything else — lights, siren, controllers, spotlights, wiring, console, partition, weapon mounts, push bar — plus the equipment you shipped. For Axon Fleet cameras, we wire and prep the vehicle and your local certified Axon installer completes commissioning.
How long from order to delivery?
Typically 60–90 days from receiving payment and your radio/MDT equipment. Demo vehicles already in stock can deliver in roughly 4 weeks. We'll give you a realistic window before you commit — not a marketing number.

Deploy the next generation.

Pilot two vehicles. Validate the savings on your own duty cycles, in your own patrol area. That's how nearly every UP.FIT deployment has begun.
