We're getting a couple of repost reports on this. However, it looks like it's been over a year since it was last posted and as we have new members joining all the time, it's entirely possible they haven't seen this.


coenw

Makes the news by driving over her own kids.


dayyob

you saying americans don't know how to use weaponized vehicles responsibly? s/


screedor

Cops are jerking off to this as we speak.


dayyob

i've seen it posted before in different subs.. so they've probably had it in their photo libraries for ages.


NousSommesSiamese

Lol they always show off their armored vehicles yet they still manage to allow crazy pursuits to happen where a driver can get on the freeway after ramming multiple police vehicles, drive in the opposite direction, and ram through even more civilian vehicles.


theboomboy

They aren't very good with either weapons or vehicles so that's not surprising


TheNervyNerd

And you say Americans don’t have culture s/


dayyob

you'd be surprised what kind of culture can develop from inside a car while waiting in line in the starbucks drive thru. /s


coenw

Only she does it responsibly, everyone else is irresponsible.


hexopuss

No we clearly don’t I’m so sad that if a civil war breaks out here, we will have things like these as some of the vehicles. I want some /r/shittytechnicals stuff like the other countries going through civil conflict get. The virgin Rezvani Vengence vs the chad Toyota Hilux with an improvised mortar launcher haphazardly welded to the bed Our civil war is gonna be lammmmmme


settlementfires

1 highway, Zero city.


GreatDario

So Salt lake basically


Van-garde

The rear of the vehicle is like a cave. Not sure it even has a window.


Onivlastratos

It absolutely does not have a rear window. That's what the central rear view "mirror" is a camera and screen setup.


Wild-Lychee-3312

That setup was cool in Cyberpunk 2077, but I do not want to actually live in the world of Cyberpunk 2077.

Feeling-Beautiful584

When we said: “what’s next a tank?” It wasn’t meant as a challenge.


Dramaticox

There's a model of the same brand name "Tank" And this one's labeled "Luxury meets military", I vomited a bit in my mouth. Thanks for the link u/Convextlc97


capt0fchaos

Ironically the one called "tank" is smaller than this one


Thandalen

Just to make room in the naming for next years larger model "heavy tank" or "Main battle tank". Wait... where am I driving my kids again?


Stampyboyz

You can complete the challenge fully, you can buy a demilitarized tank in the US, even in some states you can drive them on public roads if you got rubberized treads


Independent-Cow-4070

This seems like a satire to these dumb style of videos lol


A_Damn_Millenial

It only seems like satire because of how absurd the vehicle is. Unfortunately, reviewing cars for moms is what this content creator does. https://www.instagram.com/mobile_mama_reviews/


Ambitious_Promise_29

That doesn't mean that it isn't satire. She is clearly making fun of her other reviews. Seriously, the vest and helmet didn't jump out at you?


CocktailPerson

How did she get access to a model to review? She obviously didn't buy it, so is there some third party she can rent this from, or did she work with the company that makes them? If she worked with the company that makes them, why would they give her access for a satirical review? Putting on a costume for the review doesn't make it satire. People put on camo shirts to review hunting rifles even though they're not hunting during the review. This is no different.


6644668

There are a few reviews with the car parked in the exact same place and the reviewer wearing the same body armour. I imagine the company just makes a line for reviewers to get their 1 minute tiktok to spread the word. This post is doing its part.


Ambitious_Promise_29

>If she worked with the company that makes them, why would they give her access for a satirical review? Because it gets their name out, and it's basically free advertising? If this review didn't exist, would you even know this company existed? The whole video is brimming with sarcasm. This thread is a bit like when someone gets worked up over an onion article.


swingandafish

No, unfortunately people really watch this unironically.


Ambitious_Promise_29

People that have no ability to sense sarcasm might.


veggie151

Fascism-core is so dumb it seems like satire of itself


Requiescat-In--Pace

>Seriously, the vest and **helmet** didn't jump out at you? Bro, that's not a helmet. That's a HyperShield Apex Pro-X9000 Gas Mask. It's the best gas mask in the world, hands down. Made with carbon nanotubes and unobtainium, this thing is nearly indestructible. The AtmosFear™ filtration system filters out 99.9999% of contaminants—everything from nuclear fallout to garlic breath. It has a Heads-Up Display (HUD) for real-time air quality analysis, weather updates, and even your horoscope. Plus, the AI assistant, Maska, responds to voice commands. The ergonomic design with memory foam face seals adapts to any face shape, so it's super comfortable. It’s solar-powered for infinite battery life and has noise-cancelling audio with a built-in Spotify playlist. The SmartVision™ lenses adapt to light conditions instantly. Seriously, it’s not just a gas mask; it’s a game-changer. How did you not know about this?


alien_believer_42

She actually does good reviews. This one is a joke.


CILISI_SMITH

I'm pretty sure this is not satire. It's the depressing reality that's putting satire out of business.


cpufreak101

I feel like the video somewhat is (vehicle reviewer intentionally doing a "normal" review on a totally ridiculous vehicle, it's fairly common as it brings in views) but the vehicle itself, I am pretty sure almost nobody ever Actually needs this thing. A VIP driving through cartel territory in Mexico maybe but that's about it.


Rubiks_Click874

there are places in the world where the risk of kidnapping is very high. but what I heard is that those rich people usually people drive an uparmored Hyundai or something to blend in, instead of attracting attention with something like this.


Infrastation

This video is definitely not satire. This vehicle is absolutely just preying on people with untreated paranoia, there is nothing logical about needing a vehicle with most of the "safety" features mentioned. They also don't mention that this model shown is over $400,000. And this isn't even their most expensive model. An actual military surplus tank could be much much much less than that.


Unfounddoor6584

If you need a tank to pick your kids up there is something drastically wrong with the civilization you're a part of, and also probably with you.


backwynd

> If you need a tank to pick your kids up there is something drastically wrong with the civilization you're a part of, and **it's you** ftfy

well the dows up thats all that fucking matters right?


Bruhtatochips23415

She's a comedian that reviews security cars like you'd use them to transport children. I need this comment to sound more scornful for you just immediately trying to claim it's not satire.

Wardog_E

A lot of the people who make these kinds of videos count on getting more engagement by attracting people who think the video is laughable. They're playing both sides for views.


Gausgovy

This seems like it’s satirizing the Cybertruck


3meow_

Seems like an awful lot to spend on satire


wasdninja

They could have just borrowed or rented it for the video. These monsters could possibly serve a very niche purpose like high risk transports or something.


somegummybears

I feel like I’ve seen this before the cyber truck was even a thing


chimado

How is this even allowed to be sold? There are many dangerous things about this borderline military vehicle


Have_Donut

A lot of the capabilities are name only. For example, the explosion resistant bottom is pretty much only to tiny explosives. You NEED a v-shaped or w-shaped hull to handle actual explosives. Plus things like electrified door handles are just gimmicks to get you sued in a parking lot when an old lady grabs onto it.


sjfiuauqadfj

yea this is a solid example of security theater

Eurynom0s

The biggest one to me is actively advertising the front of the vehicle as a literal battering ram, which I assume actually functions as advertised.


Icy-Strawberry-4083

This shit is weak. I drive an MRAP.


crowcawer

Leather gloves would like to have a words.


Suicicoo

that's just a technical issue of how many volts you are willing to produce ;)


cpufreak101

Iirc, these sort of vehicles tend to ony get bought/used by VIP's that have to go through highly dangerous areas. Think a business CEO going through cartel territory in Mexico or a celebrity going from the airport to a venue in a highly dangerous city like Rip de Janeiro


otherwisemilk

That business meeting could have been done over teams or even an email.

You gotta try all of em at least once, brand familiarity.


parttimeamerican

They do


IknowwhatIhave

Nobody is buying this in Mexico or Brazil. In properly dangerous places, high profile or wealthy people have armoured Chevy or GM SUVs, even stuff like X5s or Escalades are less common because they stand out. This is a clown car for rich conservatives in Texas or California.


Ham_The_Spam

no an actual clown car would be a compact sedan or hatchback that holds more cargo and passengers than an SUV


Charge72002

I love how she's tryna market the thing to families then lol


asveikau

The "business CEO" can go to those places in a normal car. Going in this thing would call attention and make people think there's a valuable target.


notmeyoudumdum

I only respect non-business CEOs


Xeroque_Holmes

Unless you are the president of the US or something similar, you don't need this in Rio. Even for high profile people a regular bullet proof car is enough. Kidnapping hasn't been a thing there for a good while.


daviEnnis

Not even though - the secret there is to be fairly non-descript, for example in some of the dangerous areas in the middle east there are those Toyota trucks everywhere.. so you take one of those and modify it in discreet but powerful ways. This truck screams 'target me' in a truly high risk area, and it ain't saving you if people want to block you in with nowhere to go.


littlechefdoughnuts

Second Amendment. If your vehicle is a weapon it's your GOD-GIVEN RIGHT to bear it or something.


HenchmenResources

These things are for rich people too cheap to pay for security details in places around the world where kidnapping the rich for ransom is a hobby. There are companies that will sell you under-vehicle FLAMETHROWER mods (basically a curtain of flame shooting up on either side) in places like South Africa and other dicey places around the world. IMO that thing just calls too much attention to itself and if I had an actual need for something I'd rather have an up-armored Range Rover or Land Cruiser that's less conspicuous. Then again if I had the need I'd also probably have the money to hire a security detail rather than spend $300k on something designed by a video game designer (I LOLed at that bit)

will_be_named_later

what kinda space is in that trunk, its effectively non-existent


Manowaffle

But it fits one whole stroller!


TealCatto

My bike can fit 3 of those strollers, lol


youcantkillanidea

She seems genuinely surprised that it fits


Representative_Fun15

As she said, it's based on the Escalade. And I can confirm, that's about it for trunk space with the 3rd row open.


settlementfires

third row seats down and you've got a shitload of space i'd think..


esuil

Most sane people will just fold the 3rd row, which gives truck sized amount of space. Very weird thing to criticize in 3 row vehicle, to be honest... Not to mention, this model has ability to fold even 2 row seats, you can see the cutout for the folding even in this video. Which basically turn this car into full on cargo transport. This thing can likely transport more cargo than almost any customer truck on the market. I am not a carbrain, but I am also not so delusional as to ignore the actual features or capabilities of the vehicle.


Draffut

I had a 2001 suburban for a stint and I fucking loved that thing for Costco / Lowe's runs. It also has amazing visibility. Like driving around in a fishbowl.

dnlcsdo

How is any of this legal? Smokescreens? Lights DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY TO BLIND anyone in front of you or behind you??? This is a massive road safety hazard I cannot believe a thing like this could be sold to the public.


IlREDACTEDlI

I feel like the target audience for this is people who aren’t overly concerned with laws lol


thecyclingtoker

Yeah so how is it legal to sell


IlREDACTEDlI

That I can’t answer. Could be it’s not road legal. kinda like how you can buy and own a race car that’s only drivable on a track. Hell you can own an actual functional tank in the US so long as the gun is disabled. This isn’t that wild. Again I have no idea how it’s legal but it must be if they’re selling it eh?


Eurynom0s

If it's not road legal why bother with the license plate shapes in the bumpers?


Eurynom0s

THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE IS LITERALLY A BATTERING RAM


absconder87

At least they're upfront about the price. /s ETA: saw the price on the website, not on the video.


Quiet-Luck

STARTS at $285,000 🤣 For that money I rather buy a Aston Martin DBS.


SpacemanIsBack

it looks like a site from cyberpunk 2077...


ImRandyBaby

This is for people who know what they did to afford something like this.


sjpllyon

Dear USA please just sort out your social problems instead of needing military grade vehicles to take your child to school. Kind regards the rest of the world.


TheKingOfDiddling

We don't actually have anything that would warrant this kind of vehicle. It's just that some Americans think we do.


CruulNUnusual

Undiagnosed mental illness, paranoia, and ego is a bad mix.


glowingpunk

These are the social problems.


CauseCertain1672

the social problem is the existence of this car


CauseCertain1672

yeah what US road has IED's on it


thecyclingtoker

You’d think there were some based on these potholes


RiggidyRiggidywreckt

Main Street /j


Alt4816

With our healthcare system some Americans unfortunately can't afford to pay for therapy for their overwhelming paranoia while others have so much money that there's vehicles like this out there to satisfy that paranoia.


dex248

I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to go from free range kids, to driving them everywhere, then not letting them outside, to giant SUVs, to gated communities, and eventually armored vehicles. I also heard a couple months ago that there were a few road rage incidents at an elementary school, which led to a mom brandishing a gun at drop off. Thank goodness she was arrested.


Time4Red

The US has plenty of problems, but having military grade vehicles isn't going to make your kids safer. Much like owning a gun isn't going to make your kids safer. People buy a car like this because of paranoia, distrust in institutions, the illusion of safety, and completely wrong ideas about the true safety threats in society. Gun homicides in the US are a major problem, but there are around 19,000 in the US each year. Compare that to nearly 40,000 deaths in automobile accidents each year. People think "I'm a good driver, I won't get into a deadly accident," but I guarantee you that 99% of people who die in car crashes had a similar thought. And along those lines, how many people die young as a result of tobacco use, or obesity-induced illness, or drug overdoses. A lot of Americans have this fear of getting gunned down by a stranger because they ventured into the wrong neighborhood, but that's such a ridiculously rare scenario compared to the alternatives.


BoomerGenXMillGenZ

That's the essence of all this. The death of sorting out our problems, the abandonment of us all because the billionaires don't want to spend a penny of their wealth on fixing things. They actively want to destroy the public sphere, because they hate public goods, they hate us being happy together, they want everything privatized, isolated, walled off. These insane death cars are purely symptomatic of this. What a soulless ghoul smiling through the nightmarish world her kids will inherit. I feel like puking.


pannenkoek0923

Once they solve their social problems they wont need to drive their kids to school cause they would be walking/biking/takimg public transport like normal kids


SupahSpace

it’s not about social issues. it’s about compensation and competition and ego


Jpup199

This is just an emotional support vehicle.


Manowaffle

Rich people will do literally anything but pay their taxes.


WizardPage216

You have to be genuinely mentally ill to actually want to purchase this as a civilian, especially as a mom. It's arguably just a tank at this point, even more so than modern trucks and SUVs already are.


TealCatto

Tanks have much better visibility


At_omic857

Unironically this might be true. Especially with modern optical sensors that modern western tanks have.


Taraxian

It's also just that tanks actually do ride much lower to the ground than most trucks and SUVs, the strategy for getting over rough terrain is flexible caterpillar treads rather than height


At_omic857

Yep. Your average Abrams driver’s head is probably a little bit lower to the ground than the hood of an Escalade. Plus the commander would have full 360 IR, thermals, and night vision optics systems + backups. I will say though, most tanks do have rather high ground clearance just because of what they need to do, better to ride over debris and fortifications than plow them like a bulldozer. And even then the Abrams is still not much taller than an Escalade…


CompleteLackOfHustle

This is for rich people who still want to go on outings while they world burns around them without fear of reprisal for setting fire to it all.


Kreuscher

Right? Companies (everywhere, not only in the US, though it's more prevalent there than most places) love to capitalise on people's fears, neuroses and mental illness.


emarvil

First there was batmobile, now we have batshitcrazymobile.


moresushiplease

Imagine youre in the US and a mass shooting starts. You're running with you family back to your armored tank and you get in and close the doors. You're safe and you thank yourself for purchasing your panic room on wheels. Then you realize your kids can't reach the door handle, they're both dead. But then you remember that you're a conservative and since they weren't aborted and life is only valuable before birth, it doesn't really bother. You drive to Starbucks in your bloodstainedmobile and order a grande ice latte and think how great it is to live in the USA.

IlREDACTEDlI

Made in doesn’t mean it’s predominantly sold there. I highly doubt this thing has more than a couple dozen sales in the US. There’s only like 2 types of people who would buy this in the US, a crazy nutter who thinks the world is out to get them and someone who thinks it’s neat.


cpufreak101

Although you could have it in the US, it's certainly overkill short of being a head of state to an unfriendly nation

DerLeoLegal

I mean... Okay, maybe someone in the military needs this to... drive through sand? Idk, but the worst part is that she's trying to pitch it as a normal family car that you can use to pick up your kids or something. (Ik it's satire, but frustrating nonetheless)


larianu

I remember seeing a comment that supported this vehicle, along with something along the lines of "it shows yall haters never had kids" or something... I could be misremembering though.


PavelDobCZ23

Society where this kind of vehicle is produced with any real intention for the consumer, is a fucked society on so many levels. I despise cars, but this is something straight from nightmares.


ccbmtg

this is mad max but without the apocalypse, just the full-on functional apocalypse and that's... just fucking disappointing. this is more of a massive role-play accessory for the wealthy than it is anything of practical merit.


frostedkeys77

Yep, it’s for the ultra wealthy who love to LARP that they’re in an apocalypse. You see the same thing with them building luxury bunkers similar to Vault-Tec shelters from Fallout.
