What is the point of all this needless excess? A vehicle was designed to transport it’s occupants from point A to B, now we need an office and entertainment to keep our minds occupied. Here is a thought, look outside and take a break from technology. The natural world* is passing one by.




*I had to take a quick break from the natural world to convey this message through technology, now back to enjoying nature.
You sir are a legend. I’m not joking. I 1000% agree with you.

Ha, you gotta be kidding, pimps and drug dealers you mean, I doubt any of the above wants to be seen in this monstrosity.

exactly this

lexani has always been and always will be associated with gaudy ghetto trash bling and it wont take long for this to be parked in the worst part of town all scraped up and trashed up

You literally know nothing. I see more middle aged white women driving Escalade’s than anyone else.

I work at a Cadillac dealership so if anyone is qualified to answer that... it’s me. Nice generalization though.

Tax the rich.
 
But then when Apple updates the iPad Pros, your car is outdated... how embarrassing.
When that time comes around, the demographic that this vehicle is aimed at could just go and buy the 2020 version of the car that includes the new iPads.
 
Have you sat inside some ultra luxury vehicles? People that are driven in these want the absolute most comfortable environment. There’s a market for them. Also, if you’re in charge of business and you need to be accessible 24/7 and have the right tools to get things done, things like these are nearly a necessity. You may argue “it can wait ten minutes or how did we get by before” except those ten minutes could cost you a business deal, client, etc.

The vehicle is made to look nice (it’s an Escalade and looks are subjective) however it’s main feature are its luxurious features on the side, which I’m sure are made with only the most premium materials.

Most People commenting on this are tech folks who are on a rumor site for Apple products. It’s ironic.

Been and have a great management team to make decisions when I am unable to be reached. If I did not trust their decisions and judgement it is more of a reflection on me for appointing them to those positions.

Money is not everything, one must appreaciate the beauty of nature or we eventually go crazy by the very tech that we supposedly depend on. Oddly enough people destroy their health to earn money, only to spend it on medical bills and vacations for the very same thing that their could have balanced in their lives that lead to the supposed conclusion.
 
The wheel diameter looks woefully inadequate to safely propel such a heap of tonnage.
 
Most SUVs never leave the city or pavement so it's only buildings and road passing one by.

Concrete jungle, truly depressing.

Nature sucks. I'd rather have my technology.

Technology is not natural, though it may be complimentary.

I greatly appreciate the compliment. I find too many people theses days depend on technology for the things their were able to do naturally. Then their forget how to after depending on technology for so long. So very sad.

Taxes really resolve nothing. It’s meant to cause disdain between classes/groups of people. A better solution is spend wisely vice believing money is the answer to every problem.

When I saw the thumbnail of the video, I thought they have installed an oven with stove in there. To my disappointment, it was just a screen and holder for 2 cups. That is not impressive as we have this in Toyota Vellfire for ages :)
Oven and stove, that would heck impress me.
,, and here is your own stove and oven, just in case you get a little peckish. Toaster slot is built right into your door, next to the window buttons, kettle just in case you want to eat your cup noodles”
That I call a WOW FACTOR
 
Actually this is pretty similar to the ride Philip Rivers, Chargers QB, has for his commute from San Diego to LA. He spends 3 hrs in the film room during the commute. Clearly an example of the niche market this appeals to. Don’t think he has the bulletproof features lol
 
At the end of the day no matter how many accessories you add it's still a suburban.

Um, no. My phone is just fine thank you and I don't answer it at 2:00 AM. My businesses are running just fine. As to comfort, many car services are running these now and they ride like a truck (which is essentially what they are). The are not the "absolute most comfortable environment." I'm much happier when an s-class or 7-series arrives.

And I think this vehicle is trying far too hard, it certainly isn't appealing to me.


edit to add: if I were ever driven in one of these I'd think they sent my real driver to pick up a prom party by mistake.
