Left unsaid, pretty much all of those add-ons would make it no longer street legal, and no insurance company would possibly be willing to take the risk on a driver who buys an offensive vehicle for common use. These are a dumb novelty item for the too-rich-to-live crowd and are fated to live in the third bay of mini-mansion garages across the red-belt.

The add-ons exist to get deposits and will quietly become unavailable or available at a future date if the thing gets close to production. This article will be aggregated, leading to more exposure, more deposits, another round of investments, followed by increasingly infrequent updates, and ultimately, a YouTube video about what happened to the company.

I wouldn't mind having one without all the weaponization or overly aggressive defenses. Definitely not a daily driver, but kind of "mean" looking

>this souped-up SUV boasts bulletproof glass, blinding strobe lights, electrified doorhandles, and wing mirrors that can shoot pepper spray – handy for putting those pesky cyclists in their place.

Like something out of Robocop.

The article said that at 40+mph 100% of SUV crashes resulted in a pedestrian death, compared to 50% of normal car crashes. It sounds like a new definition of ‘street legal’ already needs to be made

Cyberpunk 2077 predicted it, the response of rich people to the increasingly unstable world their greed has created is to start selling armored luxury cars for the rich and upper-middle-class so that the consequences aren't their problem.

Much of this tech is in cars already, such as in South Africa, and it helps reduce the cost of your insurance policy.
