For the younger drivers it's 3.5t. And for all who got their drivers licence before 1971, it's 7.5 tons. Which is obviously insane. Germany really did not let that 70's crisis go to waste and imposed a lot of laws restricting personal freedoms severely. E.g.: In 73, they also imposed a ban on driving a car on sundays, which fortunately was lifted shortly after. Unfortunately all other restricting laws of that time are still in place and were not lifted. No matter who was in power.

I just want to point out that you need a C-class Driving Licence for vehicles with Gross vehicle weight rating of over 3,5 t. GVWR is the maximum acceptable weight of fully loaded vehicle. Here just the vehicle alone weights 4,1 t, so GVWR is probably way over 6 tonnes! You needed C-class Licence even for Hummer H1, which weighted about 3,3 tonnes.

And would pay bigger taxes on everything, pay more expensive tolls on highways and parking lots because it would literally be considered a small semi truck, not a "car" anymore. Not to mention this hummer would be banned from driving on some roads and bridges. 4 tons is A LOT, and many smaller roads and bridges cannot take that weight, at least not safely. At this point, being electric, I'm asking myself how much of that 200kWh battery is being used/wasted just to "carry itself" around. At which point it stops being worth it to add more battery? Im sure this truck with 50kWh less battery would barely lose that much range because it would be carrying A LOT less weight anyway

You can literally have all the buttons on a single pcb with just one wire thinner than a phone charging cable plugging directly into the massive touchscreen or down to the car’s brain. Modern physical switches aren’t like old fashioned controls that link directly to the unit they’re controlling but more like mechanical keyboards with a fancy exterior which can easily be made to last an extremely long time and a ridiculously long time if you use Hall effect switches which basically use electromagnets instead of physical contact. On another note I especially love the button for dynamically controlling regenerative braking and hope it becomes a standard trend.

Crab walk is useful when you car falls (or is starting to fall) into a ditch or something. Because it is taking the entire car, sideways, out of it, rather than pushing the front and letting the rear slide. Gives you more control. To be honest, to understand the Electric Hummer, the person needs to understand the original Hummer. Some cars are what they are. It's the same as if you have kids and wonder "who would buy a miata?".

I like the new format, I like what you're doing, and will continue to watch your videos. You provide a nice review of the vehicles. On this vehicle, the UI you are impressed with has a utilitarian design. Lots of folks with trucks, also keep gloves in the truck. Having the large buttons makes it easy to work with while wearing gloves. Also, I believe the reason the seat vibrates instead of the steering wheel is an improved safety feature. As an example, if a driver were falling asleep at the wheel, on a long trip, and his/her hand falls free of the steering wheel, vibrating the wheel provides no functionality. The seat, however may actually get their attention. I would also say that if bad drivers are drifting lanes, its likely because they are not holding the wheel at all. I like the seat vibrating, it makes more sense.

My Hummer now has 16,806 miles on it. We put 9k miles on it in the first 30 days traveling across the country. I've also got a friend with a Rivian, he found out the hard way how insanely costly it is to repair them compared to GM and Ford's offerings. I'm still waiting on my Lightning Platinum too. Though I think by the time we actually get it it will just be going for sale. I've never driven anything in the truck market that feels like this Hummer. It is more responsive than our Raptor, and far more capable off road in situations that would matter. My center console toggles are used for fun stuff, like R2D2 "horns" and a siren for WTF mode on private roads where it's legal. I'm only 5'7", so I don't have any clearance issues while inside the truck. Honestly, the best part about my Hummer to me, is the fact that even in -30F temperatures, the battery compartment and it's temperature controlled environment is keeping me above 300 mile ranges. We learned from experience that at -30F, the Rivian (with heat) drops to about 190 miles.

@@surrealengineering7884 that’s what it should be ? 3.5 tons and you need a damn cdl? That’s actually crazy
@@tricct5890 Agreed. 7.5 tons was strict enough. In my family we have a Mercedes Unimog for the farm and we have to watch out which attachments we put on it, so it does not exceed the weight limit. For the younger drivers it's 3.5t. And for all who got their drivers licence before 1971, it's 7.5 tons. Which is obviously insane. Germany really did not let that 70's crisis go to waste and imposed a lot of laws restricting personal freedoms severely. E.g.: In 73, they also imposed a ban on driving a car on sundays, which fortunately was lifted shortly after. Unfortunately all other restricting laws of that time are still in place and were not lifted. No matter who was in power.
I just want to point out that you need a C-class Driving Licence for vehicles with Gross vehicle weight rating of over 3,5 t. GVWR is the maximum acceptable weight of fully loaded vehicle. Here just the vehicle alone weights 4,1 t, so GVWR is probably way over 6 tonnes! You needed C-class Licence even for Hummer H1, which weighted about 3,3 tonnes.
@@tricct5890 Actually, you don't need a full C-Class. For vehicles with GVWR between 3,5, and 7,5 tonnes C1 is enough but it's very rare for someone to get this one. Usually you already go with a full C-class.
As an European, the crab walk seems very nice for the inner city parallel parking. Especially for the small and tight spaces of the one-way streets. You'd be able to squeeze this monstrosity really nicely after you bulldoze everything behind you.

And would pay bigger taxes on everything, pay more expensive tolls on highways and parking lots because it would literally be considered a small semi truck, not a "car" anymore. Not to mention this hummer would be banned from driving on some roads and bridges. 4 tons is A LOT, and many smaller roads and bridges cannot take that weight, at least not safely. At this point, being electric, I'm asking myself how much of that 200kWh battery is being used/wasted just to "carry itself" around. At which point it stops being worth it to add more battery? Im sure this truck with 50kWh less battery would barely lose that much range because it would be carrying A LOT less weight anyway

I agree on the center dash buttons, these actually look like a nice fusion between digital and analog.
While it is nice to have buttons, there is a reason Tesla doesn't use them if they can: buttons need wires and wiring is one of the largest weight factors in any vehicle, let alone an EV.

You can literally have all the buttons on a single pcb with just one wire thinner than a phone charging cable plugging directly into the massive touchscreen or down to the car’s brain. Modern physical switches aren’t like old fashioned controls that link directly to the unit they’re controlling but more like mechanical keyboards with a fancy exterior which can easily be made to last an extremely long time and a ridiculously long time if you use Hall effect switches which basically use electromagnets instead of physical contact.

Yeah, I think we all have the same person in mind....An insecure, weightlifting, football-watching, fratboy good ole boy with a small p***s.

Shade is fine, this will be my next house.

This vehicle has gotten me through so many hard times, it’s been a vehicle that’s literally saved lives. I wouldn’t be able to complete tasks without it. I think all of us playing modern warfare 2 DMZ have gotten used to it!

As someone who lives full time in an RV and have been waiting for EV options, I can tell you crab walk would be AMAZING when parking an RV. Normally to make left and right adjustments you have to move both the truck and trailer forward and backwards. Crab mode seems like it would let you change the angle of the trailer without the extra back and forth motion.
damn cool
I wish more manufacturers would give us buttons with tactile feel for climate control, radio, etc. Much easier to use when you need to keep your eyes on the road.
The screen plus multi menu buttons setup is probably the best UI possible for an ev.
they could always add some haptics i guess
Physical buttons are too reliable and can’t be monetized. Locking you into software controls means expensive “repairs” for software issues which can be created on a whim.
they will bring that back as an invention and charge you for it big time.
yeah man, button simply a lot better when driving. i hate touch screen in some of the car just to adjust AC.
in Germany you need to have a truck license for this. Everything over 3,5 tons is not considered a car. But if it barely fits in a parking spot in the US it won't in one in europe anyways. That thing is crazy. But seems like the most american EV out there :D
same in norway. suprised gmc make such heavy cars
By comparison, at under 5,000 kgs, this can be driven on the basic (non-professional) driver's license in the Philippines.
It's not just a German thing, but an EU thing, since the driver licenses are the same in all the EU
On the other hand though, it could be very beneficial for tax reasons (at least in Austria) if you have a truck license anyway (which we get in the military for free if one's lucky enough to become a driver in basic national military service). I donˋt know if I remember this correctly but wasn't this also a thing with previous Hummers?
Sadly yes it is the most american ev we have made :/
It’s gaudy, heavy and excessive but it perfectly captures the H1 vibes that the H2 and H3 lost. It looks durable, it looks heavy (it damn sure is), it looks like it’ll get you through a brick wall.
An ev hummer... You've got to be joking lol
@@matthewdh123 I don't see any issues with it being ev
@souravpaul3655 I like evs and all. But some vehicles just seem like an odd choice to go that route. In my opinion, if you like it. Good on you. It looks super fucking cool, but when I found out it was a hummer I thought "what the hell? Army and all that, you don't think EV on the battle field.". Just seemed like a wild route to take for the hummer in particular.
Nice tour! What a huge beast of a machine. The brake regeneration paddles are great in traffic but leave a slightly sea sick feeling if you use the heavy setting.
i think they totally nailed it, completely over the top like a hummer should be! 0-60 in 3,5 seconds is hilarious considering the weight
Terrifying also...
@@T1Oracle Honestly, when you state the weight first and then you get to the fact that it IS speed limited. I tend to find myself nodding in agree to that call.
The real hummer (HMMWV) is a spartan, highly mobile special purpose vehicle. Dressing up commercial vehicles like this and labeling them "Hummers" is simply playing to all the wannabes out there who have no real clue.
I’d love to see you do a auto-infotainment video series. Like a run down of every manufacturer’s attempt to integrate technology into their vehicles (both from a phone integration, and then overall technology usage for climate control, camera, security, display etc) - show how they compare to each other. Could break it up into each price segment, vehicle class, etc. A whole series I think would be fascinating to plan and watch. These are great btw - killing it.
That would be a very short video series considering how slow and outdated a lot of car manufacturers infotainment systems feel like they are from 2008.
That rear view Mirror is sick, switching the real mirror from camera was so clean
I picked up an Edition One Hummer this week, and as a former Tesla owner for 5yrs, I absolutely love it.
The crab-walk mode is there to enable parallel parking that E-Brodozer without crushing nearby smaller cars. Smaller cars like an F150 Lightning. Or a semi tractor. Not my jam. The buttons though! Will the rest of the automotive industry please take note of that setup! That part is awesome.
Just make sure you never drive a big vehicle, it's hard to go back lol.
@@danmac6185 Actually, I learned to drive in an old Chevy dually and drove that for many years and had a Dodge 2500 (Quad, long bed) for years. Drove box vans and full sized work trucks with service beds for work too. Now I prefer my little truck. Hoping someday GM makes an electric Canyon/Colorado like thing that could tow more than 100 miles. A tall order indeed! And if it weren't for my small RV I'd likely ditch the truck altogether. We had a Bolt for awhile and although it was nothing fancy it was perfect for getting around and short road trips. Kinda reminiscent of old 1980's JDM hot hatches, just electric. I'm looking forward to new electrics in years to come.
@@charlesswank6401 you say you work in trucks but someone who understands trucks and vehicle history in general knows electricity is literally the worst option for towing literally anything ever.

@@ahmedmashhour1912 Making good quality review videos takes a lot of product knowledge and research, it's clear Marques was not well prepared or knowledgable about many of the vehicles functions or history. Even the regen he got all wrong, there are 3 levels of regen, and you can also shift to L mode, and use the paddle. GM has the best regen system in the industry, not crappy like Tesla where it is only on or off.
@@dmitchellhomes you can definitely adjust the regen in a tesla. very light regen for new users to heavy regen for more experienced drivers so that you hardly ever have to touch the brakes.
@@OscarLunatechtv WRONG... Recent Tesla have On and Off, thats it, they have no adjustment at all. I have a new Y, no adjustments.
The Hummer EV has a moon theme, specifically an Apollo mission theme. That is why the Hummer is towing a rocket in the tow/hall mode. Its also not just any rocket, it’s the Apollo mission rocket. The heritage is that GM and Boeing collaborated to build the lunar roving vehicles for the Apollo missions. I like the theme and think it’s a cool quirk and one of many subtle touches on the Hummer EV that are references to the Apollo missions.
gimmicky. The HummerEV has nothing to do with the moon, moon landing or moon roving but okay if GM wants to go down that "stolen valor" road.
"subtle"
@@dzerres relax. the company has history with the mission. they can do whatever they want.

Loving this throwback vlog style of the classic MKBHD years!
9:34 This is actually horrifying. A 9,000lb truck doing 0-60 in 3 sec? There's not much that can withstand that kind of momentum.
Most EV's should not be street legal since they are very dangerous due to weight and speed and cause more wear on the roads.
Just wait till EVs are in the hand of every self loathing middle class parent who can't seem to move beyond highschool. You know, the ones that treat busy stretches of road with multiple lights and intersections like their own personal drag strips.
LOL “should not be street legal for the other shitty cars”
1000hp readily available in EVs for the general idiot on the road is dangerous, the standards are already low for the cars we have now but chassis like the Hummer and the Tesla can easily cause massive damage, I've already seen plenty of videos of the plaid going 80 in a neighborhood, that fast and the Hummer could go through a house
Not too much different than all the rocketing Tesla idiots out there at times.
That infotainment system with its UI is something I hope all car manufacturers adopt for their sedans because that's just brilliant design. All the little things that would be annoying and dangerous to access while driving (fan speed) all have physical buttons/knobs/switches to control. Good stuff!
I hope automakers stop investing in infotainment period and just focus on making sure CarPlay and Android Auto work flawlessly.
As a Hummer H1 & H2 owner who’s trucks live & run in the tundra of northern Canada 🇨🇦 the crab walk would come in handy when the polar bears are blocking your path👇🏼.. (yes that’s a thing) Bring it up here I’ll give that truck a good test off road ( no paved roads up here) cheers from HudsonBay area 🇨🇦
you going to carry around 5 gallon jugs of extra electricity?
The batteries won't charge in the tundra bro
Northern Canada is not a war zone. This thing needs to be tested on a real battlefield ...... in Ukraine.
Personally I think you're doing great. One of the better personalities for EV reviews I've seen!
Physical buttons instead of only a touch screen is just so good
"These graphics do look a bit video-game-like, and there’s one very good reason for that. The driver interface and infotainment screen in the GMC Hummer EV will run off of the Unreal Engine - a video game graphics engine that serves as the foundation for some of the most popular titles in the gaming world today. In addition to tapping the Unreal Engine, GM also hired an innovation consultancy and design firm called Perception to design the vehicle’s interface graphics. Perception, which has helped conceptualize futuristic settings and sequences for Marvel films, designed and animated the user experience and user interface for the GMC Hummer EV infotainment system and instrument cluster, giving it the high-end and graphically intensive appearance we see here."
Being based on unreal doesn't even sound that bad
@Mike S aren’t the majority of expensive vehicles using new technology? It’s kind of the point; if you’re spending that much money, you want the latest tech. And the latest tech is technically untested on a mass level. Edit: expensive vehicles are usually using latest tech OR highest quality materials. This isn’t a luxury vehicle so it’s definitely about the tech
This is awesome! That is what the future is supposed to be about!
Rivian also uses Unreal for its in car UI (dubbed Human Machine Interface)
The vibration through the seat is probably a safety feature knowing people are taking their hands off the wheel much to often to go on their phones. Red light, drive through... going 120km on the highway lol. Literally both hands! So I appreciate it.
You had reservations about the Hummer through the whole video and then figured it out at the end. It’s very cool and very high tech that dash is well designed. Kudos to GM they’re really knocking it out of the park!
'Aspect Ratio of a truck' that was The fun take from this video for me. Also, as you've mentioned many times that this vehicle is relatively large, a couple shots where it was parked to a normal car would've been a great addition. Just my two cents. Cheers guys.
The whole "recording on an iPhone" vibe makes it feel a lot more personal, like Marques is just hanging out with us. I like it, good contrast with the other content. I'm excited to see more!
Same, I actually stopped watching some of the other videos because they were feeling overproduced. Probably a weird reason... this is pulling me back in
talk about being detached from reality- you’re watching a screen and it doesn’t even remotely feel like hanging with someone in person.
It actually significantly cuts down effort and time to make and record the videos. I’d rather 3-4 of these videos for the same amount of time and effort it takes to make just 1 of those higher quality videos.
Who cares man, you people are fools for liking this nonsense! Bunch of spoiled little brats! Just wait until this EV industry backfires lol!

Hummers have always been impractical. They tried making them smaller to make them practical and it ended up killing the brand
What brand?
lol, no the company going bankrupt in the 08 crash killed the brand.
Great review & editing! Keep up the excellent work!
I really like your reviews are focusing on the practical experiences of owning a car for everyday drivers. Most car reviews focus on either a basic overviews of specs/design or focus on an in-depth UX review suitiable for racetrack-style driving enthusiasts. I enjoy those reviews but I found that knowing the everyday user experience of owning a particular model is much more useful when buying a new car. I know I'm using using it to go from point A to point B most of the time so it's nice to know the minor nuisances (or improvements) that will impact my sanity everyday! Your new channel is off to great start!
9,000 pounds is insane. I wonder what's the 60mph-0mph distance. The amount of inertia this behemoth probably has is crazy.
I wonder if the navigation tracks road limits and will route the Hummer around roads that it isn’t allowed to drive on.
This car is ridiculous, there are too roads where you cant drive here, youd literally be stuck behind a river because some bridges in my area have 3,6 limit, I actually wouldnt be able to get to school on this
Per Car and Driver 70-0 mph is 211 feet
I wonder the amount of childs poisoned and toxic materials emitted for the battery of just one of these things.
@@teasippingguy9316 ....and the pollution created from the massive mining areas flowing into the groundwater and lakes and oceans. It takes a tremendous amount of rare earth minerals just for ONE of the batteries....tons and tons of it.
Love your channel so much! Keep up the good work!! :D
That paddle on the wheel would actually probably come in handy on steep downhill roads, given the extreme weight of this thing.
This is actually an amazing idea. Just an iphone. Quick and dirty. It really shows Marques's skill and charasma. He makes it look natrual, fun and effortless. If I tried talking into a camera for 10 min straight I would be stuttering like I don't even know how to speak. Amazing work! Love it! (also the analogy is pretty funny, the ROG of trucks...lol)
He's amazingly talented that is for sure. I'm sure a bunch of effort went into making this feel so effortless. I'd love a behind the scenes.
nah he fell off and shills for who ever pays more
This is not an everyday vehicle; this is an "I have an obscene amount of money, and I want to show off" vehicle.
I mean... It doesn't cost that much honestly. With how much a rivian and lightning cost... this is more of just an extra splurge on top of one of those.

Crab mode is for parking and trailer maneuvering. Someone might use it off road but it would have marginal and niche utility compared with coordinated steering mode.
How's that for timing. Just finished your first video and you immediately upload the 2nd!
I feel like crab walk *could* be useful for parking especially with how big the car is. If you’re lined up straight with a spot but you’re a little to far left you can crab walk right while keeping the car straight on to the parking spot
Or i’m pretty sure you can also use just the front 2 wheels to turn in with a much better turning radius and visibility/comfortably. Either way the crab walk seems mad useful
It could be useful but it takes so long to activate in a real world scenario
Or maybe getting out if you've been parked in?
Crab walk isn't the real reason the wheels turn. The 4 wheel steering lets you have a crazy tight turn radius for a car that size. Crab walk is a just a gimmicky feature that they get for free with the 4 wheel steering

so hyped for the auto focus channel! the auto focus series are some of my absolute favorite vids and i love cars keep up the great work!!
Crab walk is useful when you car falls (or is starting to fall) into a ditch or something. Because it is taking the entire car, sideways, out of it, rather than pushing the front and letting the rear slide. Gives you more control. To be honest, to understand the Electric Hummer, the person needs to understand the original Hummer. Some cars are what they are. It's the same as if you have kids and wonder "who would buy a miata?".
To be completely honest he sounds like a hater endorsed by Ford Motors.
@@mybro727 To be completely honest, you don't sound like someone that's knows MKBHD for very well...
at least a miata has some handling and drivability. this thing is just all about being big

Tire noise is normal for any tires that prioritize traction off road. Even race tires or sports car tires can be loud.
the regen paddle was on the bolt, maybe the volt also. kind of a chevy thing. pretty useful I think
I like the new format, I like what you're doing, and will continue to watch your videos. You provide a nice review of the vehicles. On this vehicle, the UI you are impressed with has a utilitarian design. Lots of folks with trucks, also keep gloves in the truck. Having the large buttons makes it easy to work with while wearing gloves. Also, I believe the reason the seat vibrates instead of the steering wheel is an improved safety feature. As an example, if a driver were falling asleep at the wheel, on a long trip, and his/her hand falls free of the steering wheel, vibrating the wheel provides no functionality. The seat, however may actually get their attention. I would also say that if bad drivers are drifting lanes, its likely because they are not holding the wheel at all. I like the seat vibrating, it makes more sense.
What about employment?
I think nobody who has the money to buy this truck will wear gloves tho
LOVE Auto Focus. So good to see you chasing your interests and passions and branching out. Stoked on the low production value, one-take style. Rockin' it. Also... In a truck, you generally call that back section the "bed" - not a "trunk" ;-)
So funny to hear a guy from the city talk about a truck. Can't wait to get my hands on one.
Good show! Need to "show" this crab walk thing you spoke about.
The phone camera quality is good enough, I like it! The main issue though is the sound, it's either to lowd or too quite and it changes constantly
Needs a rode clip on mic to keep it consistent
At 9,000+ pounds, I'm curious how long it will be before certain offroad trails just ban these things. There have to be trails out there that are simply not able to be maintained if vehicles this heavy become more frequently used.
army trucks go offroad. Those are 15k pounds. It will be stupid as fuck if they ban it hahaha. Prob sensitive woke folks would do that. They scared its gunna fall thru the earth?
@@jonman2279 bruh you gotta be kidding me, I literally said "certain". Reading comprehension is at an all time low. You can't tell me "army" trucks go out on locally maintained or park operated trails. Some of these places barely have the funding and staffing to maintain trails with Jeeps and 4Runners on them. Top tier stupid comment.
Not really, people take their 7klb trucks on it all the time. I don't see much of a difference. The bigger concerning factor is the amount of *instantaneous* torque, and how that would disrupt the trail or cause accidents.
@@Toymonkeyjr you don't see much of a difference from 7,000~ to 9,000~??? Who the fuck taught you maths? ~29% more weight... and for direct comparison, the new EV hummer weighs almost twice as much as the old hummers.
If I had to put money on it I would say anyone who can afford this will never actually take it off road.
I like the subtle Doug intro lol
You look like your in your 20"s .And you have a HUMMER EV... Your doing good young man ...
My Hummer now has 16,806 miles on it. We put 9k miles on it in the first 30 days traveling across the country. I've also got a friend with a Rivian, he found out the hard way how insanely costly it is to repair them compared to GM and Ford's offerings. I'm still waiting on my Lightning Platinum too. Though I think by the time we actually get it it will just be going for sale. I've never driven anything in the truck market that feels like this Hummer. It is more responsive than our Raptor, and far more capable off road in situations that would matter. My center console toggles are used for fun stuff, like R2D2 "horns" and a siren for WTF mode on private roads where it's legal. I'm only 5'7", so I don't have any clearance issues while inside the truck. Honestly, the best part about my Hummer to me, is the fact that even in -30F temperatures, the battery compartment and it's temperature controlled environment is keeping me above 300 mile ranges. We learned from experience that at -30F, the Rivian (with heat) drops to about 190 miles.
are you bruce wayne or somethings? lol
That’s impressive. We need more owners like yourself to comment! I’m not sure if you’re aware but General Motors receive LOTS of hate from both anti-EV folks _and_ the pro-EV folks who are customers of other EV brands. There’s many naysayers to go around so the real world reviews from real owners like yourself are rare jewels 💎 aside from all the paid and bias reviewers, fanboys and social media trolls.

My Chevy Bolt has the same regen lever on the left side of the steering wheel. I think it’s a GM feature they’re sticking with. It’s so incredibly useful once you get used to it.
The Volt had the same regen lever. Regular regen was a little weak IMO. By the end of the lease, dragging an ICE around around got old. Great technology for the 80s.
I like this style of video! The review seems more genuine than a version with snazzy B-roll and cuts.
Thanks for living with it for two weeks so I don't have to, but I think I'd rather live with it now 😁😁
I'm in love with this truck. And, fun fact, the animations were actually designed with Unreal Engine, just like Fortnite and other games. So hell yeah, I'm buying one.
Great casual walk through, love the style
I used to work for Chevy (and by extension, GMC) and can confirm that the seat buzzing for collision warning has been in all their trucks for a few years. Personally, I prefer it, as they have the left and right ass bolsters of the seat zoned to vibrate if something is on the left or right side of the car. Gives a lot easier indication of where something is for any split-second decisions you need to make while otherwise distracted!
It’s much better than just buzzing the steering wheel. The “safety alert seat” is yet another brilliant design that he couldn’t bring himself to give GM credit for. He’s such a biased hater.

"This is the ROG phone if trucks" An analogy I never would have imagined I'd hear in my life😂
Hummer should pay you for that gorgeous shot at 0:28 with the puddle reflection.
It's mind boggling seeing the weight of these large EVs, the general EU drivers license for cars is limited at 3500 kg (7700 lbs) of gross weight, that means that most people in europe aren't even allowed to drive a Rivian or this Hummer
Interesting. A standard US drivers license allows you to drive any vehicle up to 26,000 lbs (11,793 kg) gross weight and/or tow a trailer up to 10,000 lbs (4,536 kg), as long as you are transporting no more than 15 passengers.
@@stephenj4937 I assume this is standardised across the entire EU, but in the Czech Republic, it is as follows: standard license is class B: Vehicle under 3500 kg (7716 lbs) and no more than 9 occupants class C1: vehicle under 7500 kg (16534 lbs) and no more than 9 occupants Class C: vehicle not limited by weight and no more than 9 occupants class D1: vehicle under 8 meters (27 feet) and no more than 17 occupants Class D: vehicle "designed for transporting people" All classes above allow towing up to 750 kg (1653 lbs) trailer, but only if the total weight of the rig fits into weight limit, so for the typical B class if you have a 750 kg trailer your vehicle must fit under 2750kg. To tow more you must get appropriate + E license, e.g. B+E or D1+E. Fun fact, if you do your B class driving test in an automatic, your license only allows you drive auto, to drive manual you need to get retested.
@@boban250 The last bit with the automatic transmission was revised recently. Now they will quickly let you drive a manual during the training lessons, but you will do the exam with an automatic but are allowed to drive a manual later on.
9000 pounds sounds like a lot, but a lot of the 2500+ class heavy duty trucks that have been sold in the US for decades are pushing 8500 pounds. Yes it's heavy, but it's not that out of bounds as far as large, heavy duty trucks in the US are concerned.
Which makes sense.
I really enjoy this format. My personal preference though, would be that your audio would still come from a mic on your person. I don't happen to watch videos with headphones and I find myself playing with the sound when you change camera angles cause I don't hear you as well or you come in too loud. I really don't want to sound like I'm hating on this, cause I love the videos and content. Keep up the great work.
Yep, great videos but deffo needs an audio upgrade to hear all of the useful commentary more clearly.
It’s funny that when you watch an MKBHD video you don’t always notice the high production quality, but you can definitely hear it when it’s gone :D Audio was the first one that I noticed too
Audio bottleneck
I enjoy your car videos very much 😍. One thing to note, though, is the sudden movements of the camera. I realize that you are using your hands to move the camera and simultaneously want to explain and show everything to use, which I really appreciate. But I think if you try to be more mindful about it, watching Auto Focus videos is much more fun.
"Horrifyingly fast". 🤣🤣 Now I REALLY want one.
You said it right “idk if something that weighs 9k should be going that fast 💨 “ 🤣
This is such an interesting car, because even though its so big and has a small potential pool of buyers, you can tell that a lot of thought went into it. Some of the features are something every single other (electric) car should have aswell, especially the dash with PHYSICAL buttons/switches! Thats seriously such a smart way of solving a big part of menu navigation and searching for the right settings, which other EVs suffer from. EDIT: I dont like big cars, I rather hate them. What the Hummer does well however is the *details*, like the mentioned dashboard or storage behind the back seats. Those are all things that id like to see on small EVs aswell.
I bet you do drugs.
I completely agree, the design overall is very well thought out. And if we are being honest it pays true homage to previous Hummer models with the exception of the H3 which itself was not as ridicoulus as the H2 or H1 before it.
Exactly and they can also very easily add space to add auxiliary buttons/features in the car/truck like lights, compressor…….
To me it shows a lack of thought. 9000lbs does not show any creativity in thought. It was a “let’s just make the battery really big.” Not a lot of innovation. The look is well done, but after that it is impractical.
@@niceguyrides It's just like any Super Duty truck or the Hummer series before it. It's not really meant to be practical, it's more of a specific use case car. And it's not even that much a concern as it being over 100k+ MSRP not even with dealer markups is probably gonna keep it out of most people hands. I'm betting most of these if you ever see them are gonna be garage kept and on pavement getting groceries, instead of their intended off-road use.
Marques, you should've tested it offroad, of course, dude, c'mon! You have to retest it. Load it with people and gear and go at least 200 miles to camp in the wilderness!
Driving diagonally at 25mph is terrifying lmao
This guy is such a great presenter - and in general has a look, sound and feel about him that is warm. And he is so clear about everything he reviews. This guy should do the evening news or run for office somewhere.
no. He looks honest and genuine.....
Totally agree. His character is perfect to present in this way.
Yes, nice way of reviewing.
I think he would make a good phone reviewer.
8:45 - Honestly, I think the seat is a better choice overall. if someone doesn't have hands on the steering wheel, the feedback won't do anything. However, someone who's not attentive will more than likely always have their butt in the seat 😅
I was thinking of someone who had fallen asleep and dropped their hands off of the wheel. I like the feature too. Oh and people who text and drive. 🙄
Exactly. The wheel vibrating might feel nicer, but the vibration isn’t there to feel nice.
That thing is crazy af! I seen one in my life time in Manhattan
Here in Holland you would need a truck drivers license to drive it. But the crabwalking is my favorite, just love it!
Just like the original Hummer, it is an extremely American vehicle in every way
