They use a 2014 Tesla Model S.

While expensive, with a MSRP around $70k, they aren't much more than Police Tahoe's which are minimum around mid $60k. 

Not to mention fuel/maintenance savings. The Tesla is actually probably a bit more financially responsible than some police vehicles. 

That being said, the Model S has a range of ~250 miles on a full charge. Why was only a single vehicle chasing this car? Even if the Tesla was down to say a 1/4 charge, 75miles should be more than enough distance for another car to join in.
