Now everyone else on the road is going to feel compelled to buy a 4-5000lb suv so they don't get completely obliterated in a wreck with a 8000lb truck that can accelerate as fast as a Ferrari from 15 years ago. We're moving the needle up in the direction of huge, heavy cars in a safety arms race.
My Lexus 2017 RC350 AWD f-sport weighs almost exactly as much as a ford edge. Not far off from 4,000 lbs Sedans and coupes have gotten heavy it’s not just SUV’s. Obviously the heavier the better off you’ll be but I’m just pointing out modern sedans and coupes aren’t exactly light on their feet either
Kind of a moot point considering the roads are full of dump trucks and 18 wheelers. These things are more of a halo vehicle and won’t move that many units.
@@pieswimmer1 and the sky is blue. did I say it wasn’t heavy? The original commenter said people will be compelled to buy 4,000-5,000 lbs suvs and trucks. I’m simply pointing out sedans and coupes are quickly approaching that weight range as well. So not exactly as big of a benefit to buy a 4,000lbs suv when there are sedans and coupes that weight that much.
That's commendable that if anything, they give a cautiously low range estimate. Tesla, on the other hand, has gotten in trouble for stretching the truth about the range of its vehicles.
That's exactly what I did in April. I had the Cybertruck preordered and waited on it since Feb 2020. Finally decided in April to cancel that crap and buy this thing! I don't regret it!

5:08 63kWh / 100 miles the equivalent of 1.87 gallons of gas. Extrapolated that's 53.5 MPG! The Hummer H2 in its most efficient guise got just under 11 MPG highway - that's a nearly 5X improvement, and the performance is way better!
It's kinda funny this guy talking about off road chops he expected. He seems like an off roader. This crcks me up so hard, you guys. LOL. Anyone who buys this thing, deserves this thing. LOL.
I live in a 3 Phase 230v nation. Even with home charger on 3 phase and limited to around 11kw. It would still take overnight to max charge that thing. Bust just several hours if you only use had the range 140 miles, soo it's very daily useable. Too bad I won't be seeing one of those on the road anytime soon.
I had to laugh when he said “pollution free”. I guess smoke coming off of tires doesn’t count. Not to mention the over 4 tons of various metals (including lithium) and plastic it took to build this thing. That just comes from magic.
That torque number is not accurate. I know that's what GM is reporting, but they're playing games with the gear ratios. I'm sure their actual torque number is outstanding, but incredibly lower than 11,500. It's ridiculous and false advertising.
@frontxxrunner For a long time GM has been modest about their powertrains' actual output..that torque number is ridiculous but someone's going to dyno it as higher on TH-cam in the near future
I’d like to test drive one of these, while it won’t be the most useful or efficient vehicle on the road, it is interesting at the very least without being polarizing.
I'd like to have the thousand horsepower truck version, I really like that vehicle, they need to make a thousand horsepower SUV version as well and they should make a Special version that has titanium rims, carbon fiber hood and trunk and fenders and carbon fiber seats
If they put a range extender ICE in the front, I would be on board tbh! I am sure the 2.7 I-4 from the Canyon and Colorado would fit under the hood and would be a perfect engine to use as a generator.
Agreed! I heard it is something with the tires. No one makes a higher speed rated tire in a 35” diameter that has the load rating that this monster requires. Because of that, they limit the top speed to what the tires can handle.
I thought you meant, why is no one pointing out that it DOESN'T have 11,500 FT LBS of torque. I'm shocked that made it through editing. I guess the repeat numbers without question journalism has reached everywhere now.
@@rexseven93 Holy crap you’re right. According to Car and Driver they multiplied the torque by the final drive ratio to get that number, the actual torque is closer to 700 or 800 lb ft. So they’re being intentionally misleading.
Awesome, i grew up in a gear head family but i never understood the need to hold onto the internal combustion setup, most of my family including myself work on cars, but the average person doesn't, and doesn't want to, we don't like paying for fuel ad letting those prices rule us.

Where are you going everyday that requires 348 miles of range daily? If you need to road trip, go to a DC fast charger. Otherwise, this thing can add more than enough juice overnight for the typical American commute if they charge at him.

Should GMC consider AT4X and or Denali versions of the Hummer EUV and EUT pickup? What about a hybrid variant of the Hummer SUV that could rival the Toyota Land Cruiser 250/Lexus GX550?

Make a gasoline version and it will sell like hotcakes 🥞. The EV version is crippled with so many issues? Drop the tried and true 6.2 V8 in it and call it a day? Looks great tho!
The gas version will be slower, louder, rougher, have infamous lifter problems and transmission problems and you can’t enjoy the accessories without wasting gas running the engine or draining the battery without rubbing it. Ev is better in EVERY way. Your mind is stuck in “horse and buggy” world.

Its neat. Looks good. Technically awesome, but much like the original its kinda stupid and useless.

People should need a CDL for something like this. It is above the weight limit for several roads in my area.

For sure.
The Cybertruck makes this look quite ordinary, but I a GOOD way. I wish I saw more of these on the road too!
I was ready to take the braking distance of a heavy vehicle like this to task. But 130 feet from 60 mph is not that bad.

It will only get more efficient as time goes on as well. Even more so if you have your own solar and/or charge at home.
You can get a 40+ foot Cornhusker hopper bottom trailer that weighs less than this tank.

This thing is oddly cool
Love the looks. But geez thats a lot of mass moving down the street wit supercar speed.
With level 1 charging it would take 3 days to charge it
But it's still pretty cool
So maybe use level two or go to a fast charger instead of a 110 outlet. Not like The only option is 110

Yeah, it's emissions free, but it is not pollution free. There was a poor choice of words.

does your Ferrari catch fire often?
Hey GM how much each month for loan payment plus insurance?
Every house should have a hummer in their driveway.
1.6 miles per kwh is very bad. My Outlander PHEV averages 2.7 and can get up to 3. I was hoping this would be more like 2.5 miles per kwh
There needs to be a 60 to 0 breaking limit for these vehicles cover certain weight like less than 115 feet or something
