That firearm safe is lit. What would it cost to get just that?

 

[Supratachophobia]

Wait, is it really bulletproof or is that just a buzzword?

Your starboard nav lights are the wrong color...

I had to look to satisfy my own curiosity - looks like they offer a ballistics kit for the doors and side windows. Unclear re: windshield.

Very cool! What did you do to the glass?

 

[socaladam]

What NIJ standard is the Rivian rated? With all the added weight, what’s the new range?

I have a guy who does EP and is always looking for new stuff.

I think Tesla needs this more than Rivian right now.

Needs :
- 3rd row delete with rear being a complete caged area ( think partition and cage on window openings) to safely secure equipment. The vault is cool for personal use, but you won't fit a rifle, shotgun, beanbag shotgun, 40mm kinetic launcher, tac vest, extra pistols, helmets, gas mask... etc. Double it if you have a partner and one of you has your emt gear.

- Mechanical door locks that aren't push buttons. A physical lever that actually disengages the door lock in the event you lose all power.

- Has to be serviceable by City mechanics that go through some kind of Rivian certication.

-can't be totaled every time an Officer crashes minor or major.

Police cars are driven hard. Without being able to be fixed easily or cars being at Rivian service for weeks or months, it will guarantee that they are either not used for Police work or they become community service vehicles for show.

Really cool though...

Oh dear, it must be a D.A.R.E. vehicle. A copper might make a couple of changes.

1. Bulletproof for 9mm? So I'm guessing some aramid fiber, maybe NIJ IIA or less. Who would order that? Even Ford Explorers are good for AK-47s.
2. What department would accept a siren package mounted on the floor? Jack, we are coming up on traffic or an intersection, quick lean forward and reach for the floor and hit yelp. No horn interface? Must have two people in the car to operate. It works for school show and tell.
3. So I open the rear hatch, and all the emergency lights disappear and are no longer visible from the rear.
4. Nice brackets for the windshield lights, and not painted black.
5. Whelen tracers for the running boards.
6. Whelen under side mirror lights.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Especially the siren mounted on the floor. Yikes.
I did notice the name of the video is Police Administration. So maybe they only expect higher ups to be driving this, not aimed at officers on patrol.

I think you right. Great to chauffeur around a Mayor, or drive in a motorcade. Even a high ranking administrator or Police Chief.

But for actual Police work... this vehicle would be totaled the first time it is taken out of service to remove the human feces or juices.
