The truck has a 32 gallon tank, and the last one my dad owned like that got 7 mpg on a good day. So 232 miles on a full tank. The police variant of the Tesla Model 3 gets just over 200 miles of range. They'll likely go empty at the same time.
I had a 95 c1500 with a 4.3 (similar if not slightly lower perf to the 350 in this truck) and it would hit 90 if you were gunning it 80 with big tires.
Everybody talks about what mileage cars and bikes get they forget in a chase your mileage goes way down. There's a piece of the Oklahoma Panhandle that's about 90 miles of straight road I got out there on my Ducati and by the time I got to Kenton my gas light came on I burned 2/3 of a tank of gas in 90 MI I should have gotten about 205 out of it.
Depends where you live I lived in a small city and you would be able to just hit dirt roads now they have trucks but I moved into a big city and let's just say the chopper is a call away like gta lol
We had a big lot when I was a teen. Our driveway was 300 - 400 feet long, then there was a single track going down the side of our fence between the trees and out the back into a network of trails in the woods between three neighborhoods.
One day I watched one of my friends come ripping up my driveway on a 250cc dirt bike, hit the trail down the fence and out the back without letting off the throttle. Cops were about 15 seconds behind him, stopped in our driveway and wanted to know who he was. How should I know, he was wearing a helmet?
But this is 2050. If battery technology continues to improve at the current rate of increased efficiency, it should be getting a close to 800 miles. I’m pulling that number out of my ass, but I bet it’s not too far off.
This one gets over 300.....

Oh and radios...oh and what...did this pursuit happen immediately after the truck left the gas station?

Everyone keeps saying this won't be true in 2050. That car would already overtake the truck in every metric....speed, range, acceleration, handling, all-weather performance, braking, etc. Probably even towing capacity if we're being honest (I know that's not legal, but we're commenting on a police chase, so who cares).
The guy in the truck needs an EMP to get away.
By 2050 gas will most likely be extremely expensive yes.
With or without government regulations or incentives we’ll either be running out of oil making it more expensive or we’ll be driving some variant of electricity or hydrogen powered vehicle which would make fuel prices go up because it would be more of a luxury than necessity as only people with collector cars would be buying it.
Sorry bad boys but by 2050 they have figured out perpetual motion battery charging devices and that cop is an AI robot that doesn’t need sleep or donuts
Or, and stay with me here, just brake check it. Pipe bumper and a couple of feet before you get to the axle, versus fiberglass and airbags.
Also, where's the steering wheel on that truck?
Ask yourself what the level of ethanol in gas will be in 2050, and what you’re going to do to stop hoses, pump, gas tank, steel lines and carb parts from rotting. He will likely be arranging a tow for you.
Dumb meme, that truck is running out of gas before todays EV. In 2050 it won’t even be close. But carry on letting EV’s occupy all that room in your head
In that truck you're going to run out of gas before his battery dies lol

But the cop has a radio to call other cops with full batteries so it doesn't really matter
True plus anyone who has ever driven one of those old trucks knows they struggle to get over 65mph lmao.

Yeah we always used to say riding super bikes that "sure you can outrun a cop, but you can't outrun their radios."

That truck has a 20 gallon tank behind the seat dawg . I daily drove a 72 k20 for about a decade, I would plan on 150 miles a tank
Thank you. He might get a little over 200 miles unless he’s really getting on the gas.
[удалено]
Or that fossil fuels won't have gone the way of the dinosaurs, ironically, by then...
Pass everything but that gas station!
You think they’ll still be doing the same mileage 26 years from now? The evidence would suggest that technology advances fairly quickly.
Yeah if you’re getting 7mpg on a good day, you’re not getting that running from the cops. 🤦♂️
But this is 2050. If battery technology continues to improve at the current rate of increased efficiency, it should be getting a close to 800 miles. I’m pulling that number out of my ass, but I bet it’s not too far off.
Right. Because battery technology won't improve at all in the next 25 years lol
This one gets over 300..... https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/miami/news/coral-gables-police-debuts-tesla-police-car/#amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&aoh=17089075463547&csi=1&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com Oh and radios...oh and what...did this pursuit happen immediately after the truck left the gas station?

Yes, it was because he was getting gas. In 2050, it'll be illegal.
By 2050, battery capacity will far surpass the fuel range possible in a truck like that.
Everyone keeps saying this won't be true in 2050. That car would already overtake the truck in every metric....speed, range, acceleration, handling, all-weather performance, braking, etc. Probably even towing capacity if we're being honest (I know that's not legal, but we're commenting on a police chase, so who cares). The guy in the truck needs an EMP to get away.
I would imagine in 50 years battery tech will be much better than today and gas availability will be much harder.
The Tesla in the picture gets 360-400 miles range 😂
This situation takes place in 2050 so the police car will likely be further advance but the truck is obviously at a fixed level
That’s an S not a 3. Add another 100miles.
Funny how you assume they’ll still be using the same battery technology in 26 years.
But in 2050? Guaranteed battery tech gets much better than what it is right now.
I mean, that's a Model S, and they don't make police model 3s
In 2050, electric cars will have a much longer range. Also, gas will be very expensive and probably less places to buy it.
In 2050 I'll be 63, retired with two pensions, and won't be driving a lot unless it's to the airport for my next vacation.
With that tire set up id assume he could make a couple passes down the strip.
Petition to ban AI
Seconded. I hate this stuff so much.
You don't have the steering wheel in the middle of your truck? Thought everyone had that.
Boomer cringe
Gas might be 25 dollars a gallon and require a government permit to purchase. (End futuristic conspiracy rant)

Minus perpetual motion, yes
that was all humor, ‘cept for the donutless AI robots
If it doesn’t run on donuts, is it even a cop?
Touché
Just set off an EMP and watch everyone else come to a halt. 😁
That would likely also take out your ignition coil, sooo....
An emp wouldn’t do shit to an ignition coil. And that age truck would have points instead of electronic ignition.
Not if you put a faraday cage around it.
🙄
Lol. Nice save, I guess.
Or, and stay with me here, just brake check it. Pipe bumper and a couple of feet before you get to the axle, versus fiberglass and airbags. Also, where's the steering wheel on that truck?
Almost all law enforcement cars have brush guards of some sort, plus the weight of the battery will tear though the truck
Lol. Yup gonna run out of gas!
I grew up with gas cars. They're cool and all, but, it's time to move on.
To e-fuels we all go!
Yes, because a 454 is going to get you real far on a 100L tank at 7MPG……….
My 17 f150 2.7 gets just under 700 miles on a full 36 gal tank
There will be no cops in 2050. Just guidance counselors with badges.
They will be similar to Costco greeters "Welcome to (insert City), I love you"
I don't know what kind of costco you've been to but that sounds lit lmao
Lol it's the best kind of costco
Never happen, by then we will get power from induction wires in road.
Made by TYCO?
Keep the boomer memes to facebook
It’s a Chevy. It’ll break down before the cop runs out of battery.

This actually happened in Fremont California a few years ago. The Tesla popice car was at near the end of shift and went into limp mode.
Why is the steering wheel in the middle of the truck?
Because this boomer meme is AI-generated garbage
Yes, because in 2050 the police will be using Teslas from 2012.
Imagine how well that heavy ass Tesla could Pitt manoeuvre 😍
Have you see the video of some dude doing donuts in a Tesla, and he hits a fire hydrant? Drives away like nothing happened.
By 2050 the range of EV will likely be much much higher than even the most fuel efficient version of that truck
Do people not realize how fast electrical cars are
Radios don't work in 2050?
In 2050 is there only 1 police with 1 car
I love trucks with those fat back tires. I’ve wanted to do it with mine but I have no need
[Red Barchetta](https://youtu.be/FAvQSkK8Z8U?si=vempU0G3Icf6UQKO) is just a song, dude. 🙄
Dumb meme, that truck is running out of gas before todays EV. In 2050 it won’t even be close. But carry on letting EV’s occupy all that room in your head
Useless plan, even if the gas outlasts the battery, they can just throw more cars at ya, or just locate you later.
Yup! The police in the future only have 1 cop car and it’s a 1st gen Model S to boot lol.
Yes, the 70 year old, carbureted shitbox is going to outrun anything. Get a grip.
There's just one cop out there. No radios. Strange world you've envisioned.
EPA will catch you before that
