2022 GMC Hummer EV Review // $110,000 Powerhouse
The 2022 Hummer EV Edition 1 Pickup (~$140,000 CAD, $110,295 USD) is a massive, fully electric supertruck that has been designed to conquer any off-road terrain. It has use of up to 11,500 lb ft of torque, 1000 horsepower, and has a claimed 0-60 acceleration time of approximately 3 seconds. The Hummer EV Pickup is also packed with tech, such as GM’s Super Cruise and 800V DC fast charging - which can charge up to 129 kms of its 560 km estimated range in just 10 minutes. But how is it to drive? And besides its large size, is it compromised in any way as a road-going vehicle? Thomas and James find out! SUBSCRIBE!
Huge thank you to Andrew, Ronnie and the team at Tustin Buick GMC for letting us feature their Hummer. They are a fantastic bunch, check them out here! www.tustingmc.com/

Hey everyone. Quick correction on the amazing UX/Graphics interface of the Hummer screens. YES it uses Unreal Engine, but the animations and digital details themselves were not crafted by Epic Games. Everything from the instrument cluster to the center stack was designed by Perception. The same people that make wicked cool graphics for the Marvel movies. Thanks and enjoy the video!
The game engine? That's... unexpected
Unreal Engine? no wonder it lags in some places
you guys are stoopid school kids, find another job, learn from Hagerty
Dinosaur guzzler is the dumbest statement ever!
Men I love this effin thing!!! The truck Elon should have made...
3.4 seconds to 60 in a vehicle this heavy is absolutely terrifying. What a feat
It shouldn't exist, tbh. These things are going to get people killed.
@@anAmishGuy just because it’s heavy doesn’t mean it’s any more dangerous, you could get Killed by a motorcycle but they aren’t 9700 lbs Use ur head pls
Quickness of a motorcycle, stopping distance of a train, and the agility of a house. Very terrifying. Wonder who thought this was a good idea.
@@marclangman4836 Every truck owner with those swinging trailer hitch balls...
@@postmodernjoe stupid comment
I almost forgot about the PURE GENIUS of the Hummer’s contextual switches. Everyone should copy it.
Yes! It's a great mix of the versatility of a screen and the tactility of physical switches.
@@themanhimself9286 many people have failed this. I kinda dislike that ipad dash in cars these days
@@paulettemusicqueen1282 Yes! And not just kinda.. It's the stupidest sh*t I ever seen. A car is a car. A vehicle! And thus it should not look like a minimalistic Scandinavian styled living room/Apple store, which you control with half a steering wheel and a freakin iPad, model *LARGE!!* Because, there's a reason to why cars where given similar looking dashboards during the last 80-90 years. I.e. the basics have been more or less the same as in, a more or less round steering wheel, apart from a few exceptions, physical switches, and pedals. Analog dials for the most part, that's heavily resessed into the dashboard to grant the driver the ability to read them, even in direct, strong sunlight, more or less! Center dash board console, which has lighted up switches and toggles. And dial/gages lights, which you in most cases have been able to dim, so that they don't annoy you or distract you, from keeping your eyes on the road. As well as, not lowering your night vision. WHICH a freakin big a.s.s iPod screen does, Elon MÖSK!! ESPECIALLY!! IF IT'S FREAKIN WHITE AS A SHEET OF PAPER!! Which on top of that.. GLOWS AT 800 NITS!! Or whatever.. Yes, yes.. I guess you can dim the screen. And maybe there's a dark mode/theme.. But stil. That that screen is going to f*ck up your night vision a hell of a lot more no matter what, compared to analog dials. And it makes you look away from the road to the right every time you just wanna check your speed. That's a pretty huge safety hazard just in and of itself to add to all of the above. And that you can't control anything other than on that touch screen is extremely dangerous!! Especially at low speeds in city environments. And how that could even get approved, by any western nation is just beyond my understanding.. Also.. that big screen is only really useful, and fully used, when you watch a movie or play some games on it. So why not just have a beautifully thought out improved, regular dash, with some small screens, if there's a good reason to have one or two of them. And then just a collapsible, folded-away-when-not-in-use-mount, for a iPad or Samsung pad or what have you. And then you can bring your own pad with you and mount it whenever you stop for a longer break and want to have some entertainment. That's what car manufacturers should do. No matter if they make EV's or ICE cars. Or what do you think?😄 (Sorry for the rant.. but I just hate how all tech is made round and cute, or minimalistic, just to please the female audience, as well as children, and female teenagers, if we're talking smartphones and toys. But hey, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying, that there shouldn't be any rounded, friendly or cute looking tech designed and produced. Sure! Make that as an extra option. But not.. THE ONLY OPTION!! From soon to be almost every single brand out there!! This w*ke, s*yboi, emasculation sh*t got to stop now!)
I work as a tech at a GMC dealership, and we got out first shipment of Hummer EVs around 2 weeks ago. I think the biggest problem with the Hummer is the fact that someone bought one, and is already trying to resell it for $300,000 on the secondary market. Once they become a reasonably available, I think they’ll be great. But unless you already got one, there’s no shot you’ll ever get one at a reasonable price.
Doesn't matter what someone tries to sell it for what matters is what someone is willing to pay 🤷♂️
@@jasoncaine2600 And that U GOT ONE!….what a odd, petty complaint. Its like the 2 dorks testing this sensational automotive achievement, they are sitting inside it, desperately trying to find things wrong w it. Then, a feature erupts enthusiasm, squashes their pressing “rain-parade” & brings them back to the nerdy-go-lucky-kids they is…! people r strange….& these dweebs need replacing.
Paying double is dumb idc if you have one billion dollars
@@jrelgran1on1 Meh. If I had a literal billion dollars, I'd buy one for 200k. I wouldn't even feel it.
@@lordmoos3why when you can get another one cheaper by waiting and saving more money for other stuff
Every other car reviewer: "GM engineers have done a great job with the vibration motors in the car." James from Throttle House: "Someone in GM really likes Butt Stuff." 🤣🤣🤣 That's why I love Throttle House!
THAT'S why you love Throttle House?
@@papn123 what else
And especially hilarious is that he qualifies it with it not being a bad thing... just an observation that someone at GM probably has a fetish of some kind. LOL
With all the Butt Stuff the Hummer has, maybe it shouldn’t be called a “hummer”.
@P. Papn for humor, which seems to be lacking in your comment. They're hilarious and have great content.
I respect that speed limiter. With that curb weight I'll bet it could easily drive through multiple buildings if it lost control at more than 105 miles per hour.
This. You could EASILY break like 150mph in this thing fully unleashed, but it would become just about the most dangerous & difficult to drive vehicle possible at those kinds of speeds... Driving this thing over ≈105mph is basically suicidal behavior. The chances for a serious accident in a car THAT ridiculously huge & heavy at THOSE kinds of speeds are almost a damn guarantee, and with a car that massive is also basically a guarantee you won't be the only car involved in said accident...
SPEED IS LIMITED DUE TO TIRES
@@michaeljordan4571 YES
Its because of the speed rating of the tires
@@Cooe. Yeah, it is also just down to the fact that nobody can (or ever will attempt to) make a tire that can support 12,000+ GVWR that can go at speeds above 105 miles per hour. It's safe to say that vehicles this big were never meant to go faster than that, and nobody will be crazy enough to design a tire that can support those speeds in a vehicle this heavy - its just asking for trouble.
I love that crab walk shot. It looked like the truck was drifting in slow motion. Amazing!!
Without a doubt the best looking EV truck right now.
It’s only the second EV Truck
@@juanpablorestrepo70 yea lmao
@@juanpablorestrepo70 Ofcourse thats how he worded it lol. He's not wrong though we know what the Lightening and Cyber Truck look like. Lol cyber truck.
F150 is really good tbh
Nothing more representative of America than claiming a "Freedom mode" and then limiting your top speed 😂😂😂
I don’t know if you’ve noticed but freedom has definitely been limited in recent times.
To be fair, once you talk about the weight of the thing.... it make a lot of sense for the limit. Honestly at over 9000 lbs, the inertia it would have, at speed, would kill people and plough through houses, especially if the brakes failed. Or be like the Model S where any professional driver is scare of the thing since the stopping power isn't enough. GMC clearly didn't want either.
I like to have the freedom of not being rear ended by this 9000+lb monstrosity doing 160
It’s not limited nearly enough given the low IQ, age, and nefarious nature of too many drivers.
The Nancy Pelosi mode
“Freedom” mode with a speed limiter is like saying I’m 100% honest and also a politician.
Exactly like america
like saying Corporate America cares about the average joe. very on brand lol
@@redriver15262 They care about getting their money. lol
Freedom isn't free, it costs a buck 'o five... with inflation a buck 'o six. Team America!
@@ALPHARHYTHM0 Or a buck ten(110k US)!
Just picked up this truck for $95k with 4500 miles on it, effectively brand new and it’s absolutely fantastic. As a Tesla owner of 5yrs I love this as I know what I want in an EV, and now it also has supercharger access too, I’m fine with this as viable for medium road trips. Equivalent range to my old Model 3 Performance.. and equivalent performance which is frankly bonkers.
I'm honestly super impressed at what I've see on this vehicle so far! Can't wait to see some off-road content soon, and also to see what initial quality and reliability the productions models have, could be interesting! Great overview, thanks for sharing! I personally think the Rivian R1T may not be as "cool" as this, but the R1T is a lot more practical and affordable, with is more impressive and exciting to me. 😊 I'm just stoked on any solid contenders in the EV space though, competition is great for us consumers.
I would love to see an EV pickup roundup with this, the Lightning, and the R1T! Please make it happen!
Great idea, similar to what mkbhd did with sedans.
Lightning isnt out yet :( will be soon
Wait for Cybertruck to come out and do an Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny of Electric Pickups with all four!
And show towing and cold weather effect on batteries.

It comes with 35” s and has room for 37”s. Also you have extraction mode it can lift itself 6” to get itself unstuck off roading. We just got our first one in at our dealer. And I think it’s really cool. Can’t afford it but love that exists.
"It's over 9,000!!!" Priceless!
106 mph is due to the tire speed rating.... They will suffer catastrophic failure if subjected to speeds above 106 for prolonged periods of time
The GM truck will probably also have a catastrophic failure by 150k miles anyway.
@@stangman962 yup, just like most fords and rams and half the tundras out there... good times
@@NetworkPIMP Tundras are very much more reliable than domestic brands. Resale tells you that. People learn the truth the hard way and remember.
@@stangman962 there it is... you're an import truck guy... got it... fine... whatever... but resale doesn't tell me anything... sales volume tells the real story... how things shake out post-pandemic and post-supply-chain woes, we'll see... but up until that point, it's all ford all the time... and they don't last either... so... all this brand-bashing and brand-loyalty is a giant crock of shit spewed by people who have zero fkn clue what the hell they're talking about anyway...
They're tires meant for tow trucks and commercial trucks that will never get to that speed. Makes sense they would not be able to stay together beyond that speed.
I love the styling and the ridiculousness of this ... car (in the loosest sense of the word)! However, I am so terrified of the thought of a soccer mom driving this down a street, with her eyes glued to her phone, flattening an entire school class, and the school bus without even noticing. Or managing to hit 100+ mph in city traffic in under 6 seconds!
The tires are a big thing on this because if those knobbies would be replace with summer rubber for asphalt not just the 0-60 time will drop and the range will improve a bit because of smoother resistance while rolling but then the off-road ability of this EV- will be sacrificed affected.. so i reckon those who want a street version should wait for SUV version and those who want off-road adventure should get this pick-up.. for example if i would have to choose between Tesla x, Rivian and GMC Hummer ev, i would really choose this..
It's hard to see how all the comparisons with pickup trucks and SUVs hold water. This is a different ballpark. Though you have to hand it to GM, it's impressive how in the span of a single relaunch the Hummer has gone from a suburban mobility scooter for the Freedom Fries crowd to a showcase of what GM is capable of when they want to push boundaries. But if I see one coming my way on a two-lane road, I'm giving the driver as wide a berth I can.
@@andrewduong2740 hi Andrew. Whats up?
@@poplaurentiu4148 tires sometimes are big concerns.
Good thing we have personal accountability so the responsible masses don't have to be punished for the poor choices of the few.
This is awesomeness on a whole different level for sure! GM definitely impressed & shocked the world with this SUV! The design the features & the overall performance is electrifying! Then they invent the Silv⚡rado EV another awesome vehicle that I can't wait to see the actual review on! GM seems to be getting their mojo back & honestly it's about time! Now about the frekkin price,it's way out of reach for the average Joe but I'm sure within 7yrs it'll be more affordable for those who aren't ballers are Wall Street hustlers. But I'd love to have this in my collection! Great review guys and James telling Thomas we don't need his singing audition was hilarious 😁😆🤣
This video captures the heart-pounding excitement and unmatched strength of the HUMMER. A true masterpiece!
The days of shaking off a ran-over foot are long gone! 10k pounds is a bone-crushing game changer.
The Hummer is growing on me. I first saw 3 of them charging at a Walmart in southern Utah. Talked to the engineers sitting outside the vehicles saying they just got done testing the cars in Moab and were headed to Vegas. I was surprised how big and wide the car is which is definitely a Hummer trademark.
They look so embarrassing🤣
Walmart, the exact place I expect to see them at.
@@arvins.7064 Hence: Walmart shoppers.
You saw 3? That's almost a third of how many they have delivered to customers so far. That's a big deal
@@jody024 have you ever actually been to a Walmart? This is a $100k truck, maybe 15 years from now
my god...i was always in love with Hummer..but this is out of the world!!!!!💪💪..pure powerhouse
Amazing review. New Hummer sounds promising. Really dig the animations when switching modes!
Love the Thanos portals the hummer jumps through when changing drive modes.
Gotta love Thomas repping the Donut Tacos
Give it the beans!
Came here to say that! Love the cross channel nods like they just had with Hagerty too. I gotta get that Yota shirt for my friend who just got a Taco again.
Great video! It is really nice to see the GMC Hummer EV. The more styles of EVs there are, the more everyone is going to want them.
Would have loved to see some offroad action. Awesome video as usual :)
I'm honestly impressed by this. It stays true to the hummer brand and seems to have gotten a lot of the basics right. Honestly suprised GM managed to pull this off properly
Yeah, then the Silverado EV happened. The complete opposite...
The 106 MPH limit may be due to the tires it's shipped on. Hard to image big Knobby off-roads carrying a speed rating of more than that
Ram trx with 700hp hellcat is faster?topspeed.
They're designed for rock crawling. Not the race track.
@@catsaretasty ya and it about 1 civic less in weight than this thing lol
May be a safety thing as well given 3.4 sec and 9000 lbs. :) this thing will be massive when In accidents. Amazing tech advancement
Ram trx topspeed. Is 116 I think. Could be 112 though.
That small point 16:54 about a shift from "what can I do on a charge" to how "efficient is it actually" is really interesting. I've never really thought about the compared efficiency of electric vehicles as a data point.
pretty good car, a holds the whole squad, enough room in the back for storage, and it handles the terrain of Al Mazrah really well!

“But like me, the Hummer has some performance short comings.” Lol
It's just a matter of time until these videos get a age restriction lol
Always a thorough, entertaining review. Unfortunate that they've only delivered 10 and just recalled them all.
Are you f'ing kidding me
Why they recalled them
Correct, I got mine and ill need a year to figure out how to work things. Its fun tho and smooth.
Bro please tell me more, what happened?
I seen two in suburban detroit
Just excellently superb content. Best on YT! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I'm not personally a gm fan myself but this is starting to get me back into the company cause as long as it holds up the test of time this thing is absolutely a halo car very much like the og hummer, so exited to start seeing these beasts
Warthog time hell ya
I can’t wrap my head around this weighing as much as two charger hellcats. Imagine being T-Boned by this 😂
That's exactly why the IIHS has revised their side impact test.
At least now you know to give it a wide swath on the road. Although its not that different than any other big truck. A full loaded semi can weigh 80,000 lbs.
That was a nice life
You don't have to imagine because you'll be dead.
My 2009 Kia Rio would implode if it was hit by a bicycle,let alone this. Serious, look up a Kia Rio, absolute shitbox to end all shitboxs. It weights like a quarter of this thing lol.
I'm not a big truck or SUV Hummer buyer at all. But the excitement you guys generated for this vehicle made me want one just to at least try it!!!
and these 2 dorks are a few times clearly trying to find something wrong w it
Great review and and even nicer easter egg with Thomas and his Donut t-shirt :)
Long time no see Tustin GMC!! The place I used to go visit "quite often" to get my H3 navigation unit repaired. lol
Major props to GM. I've not been against EV's like many people, but I have been on the fence. I prefer the soul a gas guzzling V8 had. But this is the first EV that pulls at my heart strings. It's fun, it's stupid, it has personality... I love it. It's everything I like about petrol vehicles, in EV form. Big congrats GM
I agree but I’d still take an Escalade V any day over one of these.
Finally someone drives the thing.
I'm glad I get paid every day not to drive it. The specs are alone are a nightmare. Please don't talk about speed because that's a last thing you need to talk about what a 9,000 lb vehicle in the hands of amateur driving skill business entrepreneurs.
Saw one in Michigan last weekend and they really are badass looking. I’m not a big SUV guy but man does it have some real road presence.
Had someone let me use/daily their H1 Wagon as my own for 2 weeks. I frikken LOVED that thing! Love a diesel, love a real Hummer. It was unstoppable! I dunno man I kinda dig the Hummer EV as far as EVs go. If I were rich Id probably get one just for fun.
The hummer wagons are incredible. The true Hummer.
Best car review channel for sure. I've been watching you guys since the beginning and also other car review channels such as Doug de Muro and Carwow and TopGear, but you guys bring car reviews to a whole other level. Good job and keep it up! 😉
Love this channel, as well as Carfection! Especially Henry Catchpole elevates their content up really high, check m out!
The very best review channels, are "Hagerty" and "FortNine." Those two channels have the most charismatic people and the best music of any channels on KZhead.
Unless when it’s a car you want to buy, then I gotta give it to Alex on Autos, that guy is meticulous. But these guys are great for stuff Ill never consider buying, id have to be in 7 figure club to ever consider something as expensive as this
'Listen guys, this 9000 pound vehicle WILL save mankind' said someone at GM. Probably.
Saw one yesterday in Orange, CA charging, took me a moment to recognize it since it was a little far away - looked amazing
I speak on behalf of all space fans when we say were upset at 18:05. That’s a Saturn V not a shuttle! :) Space lingo aside, awesome video. Throttle House is by far the best car review channel on KZhead.
The thought of something THAT heavy, THAT large, and THAT quick is kind of terrifying
Exactly, but pop up headlights bad for pedestrians lol
When GMC starts creating sleeker trucks/SUV with this drivetrain... GM might have a handful of winners on their hands if they don't mess up the designs !
question is how well it scales down since by law its way too heavy now to be suv
Silverado EV is coming.
It really is difficult to get used to the odd shapes. I'd say it looks good from the front only, but the side profile is just quirky, and for no good reason. That C pillar, for instance. Anyway, Tesla notwithstanding, is there some unwritten rule that all other EVs have to look weird? Take the Ioniq 5, for example. Although BMW would probably win first place.
their trucks are doing GREAT. Sure the f-150 and ram out sell the chevy silverado and gmc , but combined they do better
My 1989 Honda Prelude 2.0Si 4WS had crab walk 30+ years ago. It was completely mechanical. You turn the wheel slightly and the wheels would go in the same direction. Then, at a certain point, the rear wheels would reverse and go the opposite way. It took some getting used to, but it was the best parking lot car I’ve ever had and that includes my Del Sol which was smaller.
This is the coolest EV yet. Great video guys.
I love that this is the Detuned version. During testing this thing literally did wheelies. This truck is absolutely insane and I want one.
Because you're insane too?

Why is everyone so surprised. Gm really has some of the best engineers in the game for their performance vehicles (including off road vehicles)
I’ve always said that GM Performance Division could rule the world.
Because its a major departure from their current offerings.
Al Oppenheiser is the Hummer chief engineer. He was responsible for the 5th and 6th gen Camaros and ran the performance division before this. I expected nothing less than perfect and it seems they nailed it.
I can't get over how far apart Thomas and James are sitting when reviewing the interior 15:25. It truly shows just how wide the hummer is. They look like they are sitting on either side of a couch.
6:12 LOL Thomas is so proud - that got me good.
How much does the Hummer weigh? James: *IT'S OVER 9000*
Vegeta would be proud.
The crab-walk feature would be great for parallel parking 😂
Doesn't go sideways enough for that.
It would be standard on nys vehicles 😄
@@dzello This is absolute fucking nonsense... Nobody would parallel park from a direct horizontal position even if you COULD make the tires go completely sideways. You ALWAYS want to approach the parking spot from at LEAST slightly in front or behind the car so you can FAR more easily see and line up to the bumpers of the other cars parked in front & behind you. Aka the crab walk even with its turning radius limitations is absolutely PERFECT for vastly reducing the difficulty to parallel or curbside park.
@@Cooe. That's a lot of words just to be wrong across the board. The ideal way to parallel park would indeed be a system where your wheels can go sideways because you'd just line up with the car in front and slide in. The crab walk is awful to parallel park because it doesn't turn the vehicle so it will ram the car into the corners of the parked cars. Think more, type less.
@@dzello Lol spoken by someone who upvotes their own posts. 🤣 You literally couldn't be waving a flag that screams "I'm an uneducated, insecure loser!" any more loudly & proudly if you'd deliberately tried.

Great review of an absolute _beast_ I got a big kick outta the composer comment @ 9:18 about Hans Zimmer and what you said about the sounds of the Hummer being done by John Williams. Those two happen to be my two favorite OST composers ever lol But yeah I’m not a big EV fan but this thing? Kinda makes me /drool lil bit. Ngl 🤤
this is hands down one of my favorite reviews on this channel. i dont know if its just the truck itself or what but i had a smile on my face the whole time! this is a special one for sure!!
In every review of this Hummer, those removable roof panels seem to make an awful racket. I wonder if it’s possible to get the car with a solid roof.
Its a first edition, so I'm not surprised that the roof fit and finish isn't exactly whisper quiet yet. Jeep had that same problem with the Wranglers first removable hardtop.

Take the Cybertruck with it too!
@@tuurschellekens5385 if it ever comes out.
@@Slayer-xi7pu When it comes out it will crush everything. I don't get why people doubt if it ever will come out. It's near production ready and the whole factory has already been built for it
@@tuurschellekens5385 it is delayed indefinitely and most likely will only get to people in 2024-2025. Also, the interior of the cybertruck just sucks and also the production model will most likely be quite different to the prototype model. By then, the next f150 lightning with a full ev chasis will be out and also by then rivian would have entered full production and probably introduced 4680 cells, enabling more range then the cybertruck. Also, teslas build quality just plain sucks and they won't be able to take advantage of the ev tax credit. Their fsd isn't ready yet and supercruise is still better rn. Tesla is experiencing recalls every week now and they will never break into the truck market with their wierd minecraft looking design.
@@Slayer-xi7pu It's clear you don't like the Cybertruck or Tesla in general, but that doesn't mean you should straight up lie or spread bullshit. First off, Cybertruck probably will enter production very soon, Q1 2023 or earlier. Pre orders show that there are more people interested in the cybertruck than in the F150 Lightning and Rivian. Also Rivian and Ford too have massive struggles ramping production and can't even expand production because they are battery constrained. Rivian won't 4680 cells anytime soon, that would mean redesigning the entire pack, while they can't even produce the current R1T in large number, investors won't like that. And how exactly will Rivian offer more range in the R1T than the cybertruck with the same 4680 battery cells? I don't know for sure but the Cybertruck is more aerodynamic and Tesla is known for leading efficiency. Tesla build quality is only improving and we will see that with the new Model Y's coming out of Berlin and Austin. No EV tax credit doesn't matter at all, considering Tesla's production capacity is already booked full this year and will be for many years. Supercruise is shit compared to Autopilot and even FSD, even if it isn't ready, and SC is only available on pre-mapped roads. Tesla' isnt experiencing recalls every week, cut the crap. Other OEMs are experiencing way more, and way more dangerous recalls than Tesla.
Looks good but that suv variant looks amazing
Bring these to Britain immediately! I’m in love!
Throttle House, one of the only car channels I watch everything off of regardless of the car! In this case definitely not my thing, too big, too gimmicky, too heavy, too overfeatured, BUT genuine props to the engineering within it and for what it is, it's a half decent value. Hope to see this standard of engineering in the Lyriq for a start and then other future EVs that serve a more reasonable price point and use case.
Too overfeatured? That’s the first time I’ve heard anyone complain about that
I wasn't expecting to want this car after watching a video on it but I really do. Also, in the final segment before the conclusion, it's hilarious how far apart they actually are in the car. That thing is huge!
good review and well said.
I was thinking about getting an ebike, but this review convinced me to go the hummer route!
Hosestly the crab walk feature is cool for the few hard core off-roaders but for most I’ll bet it’s a maintenance NIGHTMARE waiting to happen. Especially being a GM product…
GM quadrasteer in the 2000's
That’s what warrantees are for
Being a 1st year of a revolutionary GM product, you just know you’ll be at the dealer at least 8 times in the first year of ownership for fixes
FACTS, especially in long term
No one buying this thing for the long term. I always wonder about what the used car market for EVs is going to be in 10 years
"Watts to Freedom mode... I'm sure James was driving around in that: he loves freedom." LOL!
Those interior buttons are crazy cool
there are really only 2 EV's in the world that i would crave to have. That is the Lucid Air, as it's gorgeous and luxurious, and this, the absolute beast that is the Hummer EV.
Fact: Some of the first consumers to get their hands on this vehicle are already flipping and reselling for $310k 🤯
And morons will buy
@@sylvaind.6786 if you're willing to pay an extra 200k, money doesn't mean anything to you
Wtf... That's crazy
@@spicysnowman8886 Doesn't mean you're not a moron.
Damn it! Even new cars are getting scalped all the way to hell. With a price like that I might as well buy a PS5 from a scalper and call it a bargain.
"Watts to Freedom", they have humor at Hummer, I like that lol
The idea was so people say “put it in WTF mode...”
Thanks Thomas for finding a way to reference horology! I've been trying to catch what's on your wrist in all of your videos.
I have a Hummer H2 🙏🏽 I love this idea of bringing the Hummer back in a more futuristic style this thing is a beast and that crab walk is beautiful .
I mean, it tells you that it's heavy on the side. H-EV... GREAT review, guys, I'm glad to hear people take you seriously enough to go the extra miles to get it to you!
I'm LOVING the Donut shirt, that one is one of my favorites lol. PLEASE tell me you guys collaborated on at least one video 🙏🏽
funny feeling that was a pun at the donut guys.....
I love this thing! I would prefer the SUV version. And I do wish it had solid state batteries but I guess they're still a couple of years away. But I do think they might give maybe a 20% increase in efficiency.
SSB is so far away, don't even bother waiting
*There's no car with a SSB yet* ... * *They are atleast 7-10 yrs away from commercial production* ....
I think the crab walk would be insanely useful for parking
Yeah extremely for parallel
You guys make an excellent team! Great review
I live in SE Michigan and these are EVERYWHERE right now. They had the standard Manufacturer plates, but started seeing customer plated ones at the end of last year. . Anyway they do look really cool in person and aren't as large as I thought they were going to be...
There's a total of 10 delivered as of now. Talking about bias.
Literally everywhere in Michigan?
@@anthonyesiemokhai1603 There's probably one at his local dealer that he sees around town.
If you saw a customer car last year then you saw Mary Barra’s (GM CEO) Hummer because she got the singular delivery last year. Only this year did anybody else start getting deliveries.
Hummer EV SUV Moonshot Green is absolutely stunning ❤ Can't get enough of it
" when you buy a hummer you don't buy for offroading....you buy for show off.." that statement got me so well 😅
I really like the new Hummer even though it is beyond my price range. Just nice to see American makers trying to provide innovative new electric vehicles. But the challenge these days seems to be getting them built in quantity. I would purchase two F150 lightning evs for my small business if they were available. I'd like a Maverick for personal use but those aren't available either.
I never thought I would say this about a hummer, but I fucking love this truck
So happy to see Thomas in a Yotas Tacos shirt! Showing love for Donut! 🙌🤙
You guys man! Another banger
I'm liking the Hummer EV. I think the steering on it plus the lifting and lowering and the range is gonna be the next big seller.
That weight and power ,wow must go through a set of tires every 10-15k
On the other hand, doesn't that depend on YOUR driving?
@@krane15 not really, same logic as a motorcycle. Heavy powerful bikes go through rear tires like crazy. Certainly driving behavior plays a role but even conservative driving would likely chew more rubber because of the weight and high rubber content of off road tires.
That's if it even exceeds 10-15k its self
@@me24680 🤣
“Freedom juice” had me dying 😂
I had a chance to drive one of these. This is an amazing vehicle
Fun fact: The legal weight limit for a "car" in Europe is 3500kg (bit more than 7000 lbs). For everything above that we need a different drivers license.... for small lorries
FINALLLLLLLYYYYY!!!!! SUPER excited!!!! I just love the time, effort and energy you put into your productions, fabulous, simply fabulous! 👑💎👑
This looks so cool - hopefully you can get it in the slant back version.
James , Thomas , stellar review !
I absolutely love it! I want to see one off roading.
