How about you just stop doing car chases and endangering everyone?
During a pursuit in West Memphis, Arkansas, a state trooper attempted a tactical vehicle immobilization technique known as a PIT maneuver twice in attempts to stop a fleeing Tesla Model Y, but both times the vehicle accelerated out of reach and was only stopped after driving over a tire-deflation device.
Yeah, great idea, pushing a car into a spin while at high speed could never go wrong. Turns out just calling ahead and blocking the road is the thing that actually works.

Especially in an electric car. Battery fire is no joke.
More mass as well, which will take more energy to stop and will destroy whatever it’s flung into.
You don’t do a PIT without wanting to kill the person in the car. The cops want it to be deadly.
It’s hilariously dangerous for everyone involved, but mostly for the person getting slammed into by an armored cop car.
Seems like the kind of thing that was originally intended as a last resort that cops decided should be their second choice instead.
