I would think the door swings like that because of the spare wheel, and it opens away from the driver side so the driver won't have to walk around the door every time they open it.
I have had a h3 for ten years and it’s my baby , I have a res for the Cybertruck but I’m still in love with this ev I like everything about it I’ve seen them in the wild it’s I’m telling you it look dame good
That spare tire is far too heavy for a vertical opening door. You also can't put the tire underneath because of the battery. Can't put the tire on top because it would destroy aero. They were out of options. Can't fault them for that really. Good news is... rear mount spares look cool and the rear door will never break or close on your head.
My 2003 honda crv has had a full sized spare tire hanging on the rear door for 21 years without destroying the door. I am sure that the Hummer will do just fine.
@@kmf2153 REALLY? Your honda crv has like a 15 inch wheel in a 26 inch passenger tire. The hummer wheel probably weighs 3x that much as it is equipped with a 35 inch 10 ply truck tire. get real bro
Rivian just unvieled the R2, R3, and R3X. assuming they enter production on schedule in 2026 at the stated price, the R2 will be the price of a model y, the R3 will be cheaper than a model 3 and essentially be a hatchback with offroad capability. while the R3X is basically a tri-motor super-hatch that looks like its inspired by group b rally. it looks insanely cool. its shorter than a golf, and only 1.5" taller than a golf even with all terrain tires and increased ride height. its super cool. they supposedly start at $45k, $35k, and $50k respectively.
Yyyyyyyeeeeaaaaahhhh I don’t think they’re trying to market this as a cheap economy vehicle. That’s like saying super cars have gotten too expensive these days 🙄
I think it looks awesome! When is the next action movie coming where all the bad guys are running around in these beasts?! I wonder if Arnie already has one.
After owning one and dealing with all the issues of EV traveling I had GMC buy the vehicle back after just about doing 2300miles for the following reasons, software problems with charging and the time it takes to charge and the range with 860bhp I was only getting 130 miles of range so to travel any where was a challenge and when getting there trusting I can charge the hummer at any of these charging stops which was a problem on average I only managed twice to charge the vehicle, all other times I would get a fault come up with the battery and on one day after spending 4 hours and 5 charging stations to get no charging. I had to switch every thing off to get to the dealer to repair the problem and after they had my hummer for 4 days I still had the same problem when I took the truck back. My limited edition Hummer had everything fitted so when I first took delivery it was amazing to drive but as time went on I started to feel it was a bit cheap on not have the little things fitted like you would expect to have I.E ambient lighting, soft closing doors, better seats and a not so plastic interior and one last issue was the seals around all doors did not stop water coming in around the doors and when you opened the doors you would get wet. I have had Hummers now for several years and my 2010 H2 I have never had any problems with when driving it around Europe so I do not agree with the comment that hummers are not reliable Its the technology which is the problem cheap Chinese parts and batteries With this experience I will never buy a EV vehicle again, GMC should have done a Gas engine then you would have something truly awesome I never had or thought the rear door was a problem with its design
Odd you have an H2 but don't even know the year of it being the last year of production on the H2 was 2009 they made about 1500 before GM declared bankruptcy and closed Hummer down...
There’s no location for a full size spare that TFL won’t complain about. In the trunk =complaints, under the truck =complaints, on the roof =complaints, on the door =complaints, space saver =complaints. Let’s just take a moment and acknowledge the fact that a full size spare on the back door is by far the best solution. Thankyou, end of discussion. That way it doesn’t compromise cargo space, ground clearance, handling, and it allows for bike racks mounted on the tire, not problematic hitch mount bike racks. The door opening is a small price to pay, plus you never reach over your head which kinda sucks.
I’m not an EV guy but GM is actually doing a really smart thing. This truck/suv is their halo vehicle on a ground up modular platform mirroring the flexibility of certain German auto manufacturers. This is meant to be an expensive bouje status piece so regular people buy a blazer EV or whatever iteration of their electric range comes next. I don’t think Honda would partner with GM if they were doing something wrong.
16:45 Finding working chargers really isn't that difficult, but to your point, the 500 A chargers required for it to charge at its peak rate aren't consistently available outside of EVgo, which is still building out its network. The good thing about the 800 V architecture, though, is that it can actually charge faster than 150 kW on a 150 kW rated charger. Unfortunately, 800 V still isn't available on the Tesla Supercharger network, which GM EVs should be gaining access to soon.
I think it’s an amazing ride! I plan to buy one, you only live once and you can’t take it with you! LOL 😊 Thanks for bring this type of content to your followers TFL Team! I’d like to see you guys take it to a grocery store and provide feed back on what it is like parking in your everyday average parking lot.
In my opinion the 2009 -2010 Hummer H3 Adventure model was the best Hummer. Insanely capable with the front and rear lockers. Spacious and luxurious, a little underpowered but it couldn’t out of its way. I still miss mine.
All the people saying its too expensive, or if its less 80k, 85k, less than a tahoe, no ne of them even drive an ev, or theybdont get what the hummer is, so the if and then crowd don't worry the price is something you cant swing. The price is very reasonable given a 200+kwh battery pack price out the $/per kwh and it is very reasonable.
Ask the H1 guys if the price is mind blowing. It's not. With options H1's used to cost the same adjusted for inflation. Interior is NOT from the Tahoe - we all know it. GM put their heart and soul into the interior exterior design, these are not run of the mill. They nailed it while Rivian is grabbing at straws hoping they still exist next decade and who cares about a 3rd row? These aren't Suburbans. We want more Hummers!
Literally shares little to nothing with the interior of a Chevrolet Tahoe. Y’all make things up out of thin air. A completely different interior. This truck is also substantially more capable off-road than a Tahoe Z71 and it’s much more upscale. Why are you trying so hard to rewrite the narrative here?
Yeah, I want to know what GM's cost is on one of these. I'm surprised they still haven't dropped the prices. They are gouging badly. I can say my local dealership has had the same 3 Hummer EVs on their lot for at least 2 months. You'd think they would give discounts because of this. If they were selling so fast that they couldn't produce them quickly enough then, of course, go ahead and price gouge. It seems they made a horrible business decision.
Definitely a cool truck and awesome features and love the instant speed, love that description... Feels like a Disney ride. But definitely also not worth the money.
5:53 I know why; the door opens that way because of the spare tire. If the door is opened, the tire will stick out into oncoming traffic just enough to not be noticed likely by drivers in tight areas, and liable to get hit. The Bronco does the same thing.
The spare tire would also obscure the left side taillamp, which would further expose the vehicle to traffic at night. I'd bet it's a DOT/NHTSA regulation thing...
The door probably hinges on the right because while parallel parked, if it were to swing out into traffic it could get ripped off by cars driving past, not sure if the hinge can extend beyond the track width though. That is my theory.
17:05 The good news about everyone moving to CCS protocols over the SAE-J3400 plug is that you really don't need to worry about standards anymore. If it fits, it most likely works (other than Tesla's remaining private network), and if it doesn't fit, you'll likely have an adapter that will allow it to work. At this point, you can pretty much just talk about AC and DC charging, and the "standard" will be a given.
I have a theory on the tailgate swinging the way it does. I hear your reasoning Nathan, and my best guess revolves around the fact there will always be an occupant in the vehicle’s driver seat. If you think about the driver opening the tailgate, when they then exit the vehicle and go to the trunk it’s easy to gain access to the contents. If the tailgate were to swing the opposite direction, the driver would have to walk all the way out and around the tailgate to access the trunk.
And let the haters come hating and cry us a river of *gm* hate-train tears. It looks nearly unchanged from the concept SUV and I’m impressed once again. The fools complaining about the price must be slow, this isn’t the Tahoe EV. This is the expensive GMC cousin. Design team knocked it out of the park and i rather have this beast in my driveway than the Cybertruck.😭
the hummer was always the expensive model when would it ever be lower than a tahoe? I'm pretty sure they were on par if not more expensive than the escalades when they were first coming out
@@sonofagun1037 I hear you it was the next step up,my thought is like you said have very nice suv's. So why ask so much more $ for something that has less range. Top of the line caddy with a 3.0 diesel will do over 500 miles on a tank for less $
@matthewholzmueller6292 I'm guessing it's way more than a tahoe because it probably took an entire village a few months to mine the rare earth minerals for that massive battery that will probably end up floating in the ocean in 8 years.
In order to close with the keyfob, you must press twice and hold the second press until the swing gate is closed, same for closing the front Etrunk. And if you press and hold the rear swing gate button at the back of HUMMER, the rear window rolls down so you don't have to open the swing gate if you are in a tight parking area, that way you can place something in the rear or take something out without opening the gate.
I imagine that, especially off road, those tires are going to really suffer with all that weight they have to carry. Better bring 2 or 3 spares along, and have a VERY heavy duty jack!
@@fritty9927 You need to look up the definition of sarcasm. Yes, I got that your post was meant to be humorous hyperbole, but it implied that the HUMMER was an exceptionally poor selling EV when the actual numbers don't support that. My response also wasn't actually for you; it was for people who read your comment but don't have the time or energy to look up the actual numbers.
@@zachlafond2652 That's an extremely small sample size. Even assuming you see and register 100% of the vehicles you encounter when driving on the road, 4,000 to 5,000 out of 300+ million vehicles registered in the United States leaves a very small likelihood of coming across one in regular driving.
Its not worth having the swinging doors open to the curb. Most of the time people are accessing the back, they're not parallel parked. It's easier if it opens to the driver's side .
Please note the front hatch is a extended press by design as in the unlikely, but possible circumstance of some road debris activating the front hatch while driving, which as you can agree would be a major issue
The answer to the back door problem is easy: It was designed for the UK, they drive on the wrong side of the road, so also have the curb on the wrong side of the road. :)
my 02 crv's tailgate opens the same way and i can tell you that the way it opens is not as bad as they are making it seem 😭. the rare instance when i have to load something from the side walk i just end up putting it in the 2nd row on the floor.
Funny how the tacoma blows its 4wd on some ice and these guys say its wonderful but the frunk didnt open exactly when they wanted so they say the hummer has problems. Cool truck and definitely stands out, the price is just dumb but most trucks are overpriced now so its not that crazy.
The thick bezels & sluggishness on the screen would kill me at this price point. I hope the next gen of this SUV trims them out & makes it snappier. Good review!!
The embarrassment here for GM is how “untechnical” the hummer is. It’s so inefficient they just cram as many batteries into that will physically fit. It makes the thing weigh 8900lbs. It’s a rolling showcase of “we had to show something…”
Great unit for around town. Big and heavy so it will take out most cars in an accident. Once it depreciates it should be somewhat affordable if it doesn’t have too many problems. No reports of these spontaneously combusting so far so that’s a plus.
Guy's I just realized the hummer ev interior is like a more rugged looking version of the rivian interior. sure there are plenty of differences but mainly that dashboard design in front of the passenger looks like a more squared off version of the same style rivian uses.
Sat in one a few days ago no headroom in the front or back. If you sit back all the way your head hits the roof rails. True I'm 6'4" but that's supposed to be a big American SUV. I have no trouble fitting in a model 3.
Wonder if they have any plans to introduce a smaller Hummer like they did with the old gas models (H2/H3). For now there is hope for the upcoming Rivian R2/R3. Just home those fit my budget.
they think the hinge is parked in a driveway and the drive with a forward to right side garage is just fine. However the huge Tailgate hingle is amazingly strong with a huge tire on the back end.
I’m In Cleveland Ohio and I have seen one of these literally 3x this week. He’s a local guy have no idea what he does but he’s had it for at least 6 weeks.
If the door swings out to the right might be comfortable to those trading up from the old hummers to this as that is the way they swing ! And we are use to it! That’s the way I’d want it!
They raised prices on reservation holders , dropped the standard range , and lowered the horsepower. After making reservation holders wait years. I canceled my reservations, electric g wagon for me.
I would think the door swings like that because of the spare wheel, and it opens away from the driver side so the driver won't have to walk around the door every time they open it.
It is that way for that reason. It was mentioned at the reveal. Good catch.
They should have done a setup like the Honda Element.
Also safer to access it away from the traffic side if you ask me
Sounds right. Besides, if you parallel park that thing, the hatch is too long to open with another car parked behind you anyway.
The spare is in the way of everything
I have had a h3 for ten years and it’s my baby , I have a res for the Cybertruck but I’m still in love with this ev I like everything about it I’ve seen them in the wild it’s I’m telling you it look dame good
I am more impressed with how fast the Hummer can go from 0-60 than the Cyberbeast. That Hummer is soooo heavy.

Exactly. You’re correct.
The rear door motor will break after swinging all that weight and it also going against wind 💨

The title for this video should be "..yea, but the price....."
No it shouldn’t because most of us with a brain expect vehicles like this and its competitors to be in that range considering what they are offering.
Yeah bc the 1st H1 Hummer was so "cheap" riiiight gtfo it. Move on Mary
"And the weight..."
I predict a smaller h3 size for less $
Hummer always were expensive. Never meant for the masses. A H1 in real time was so far out or reach for the normal consumer
@tflev the door swings to the right so it does not swing into traffic. Bronco and Wrangler are configured the same way for the same reason.
GM should have made a small bolt based truck. This behemoth is the king of inefficiency, so I guess they stayed true to the H2.

The answer to the back door problem is easy: It was designed for the UK, they drive on the wrong side of the road, so also have the curb on the wrong side of the road. :)
The door probably hinges on the right because while parallel parked
My jeep wrangler opens up the same direction. This has been my only exposure to a tailgate like this and it feels normal that it opens to the curb.
I own one of these! I love it already!
“I recommend checking out the back door!”
TWSS! 😂
Just let me open my own door
Nice Hunt for Red October reference!
my 02 crv's tailgate opens the same way and i can tell you that the way it opens is not as bad as they are making it seem 😭. the rare instance when i have to load something from the side walk i just end up putting it in the 2nd row on the floor.
Funny how the tacoma blows its 4wd on some ice and these guys say its wonderful but the frunk didnt open exactly when they wanted so they say the hummer has problems. Cool truck and definitely stands out, the price is just dumb but most trucks are overpriced now so its not that crazy.
Was on the fence between this and R1S. Went with the Rivian mostly because I needed the seats and had early pricing locked in on top of tax rebate
The thick bezels & sluggishness on the screen would kill me at this price point. I hope the next gen of this SUV trims them out & makes it snappier.
Good review!!
When car manufactures do electronic. You're too computer savvy.
The embarrassment here for GM is how “untechnical” the hummer is. It’s so inefficient they just cram as many batteries into that will physically fit. It makes the thing weigh 8900lbs. It’s a rolling showcase of “we had to show something…”
The front hatch may be opened differently because it is forward facing like a normal hood for safety
Great unit for around town. Big and heavy so it will take out most cars in an accident. Once it depreciates it should be somewhat affordable if it doesn’t have too many problems. No reports of these spontaneously combusting so far so that’s a plus.
These are so cool looking and huge!
Drove one and thought it was a bit "meh". The battery/floor is so thick/high, the rear cargo area is pretty tiny/short.
At least color match the spare tire cover.
I remember back when I was a kid when the H2 was brand new, I never imagined EVER that Hummer would be electric after 20 years.
If it makes you feel better a civic is more fuel efficient than a hummer ev still. 😂😂
Guy's I just realized the hummer ev interior is like a more rugged looking version of the rivian interior. sure there are plenty of differences but mainly that dashboard design in front of the passenger looks like a more squared off version of the same style rivian uses.
They need to make an H3 sized HUMMER EV on the scale of the Kia EV9.
This thing is ridiculously huge.
only a three year warranty on a vehicle that has been fraught with issues since launch, that's my hesitation.
It’s easier and more convenient for the driver. Plus it gives full vision of passing cars. Via no obstructions
Best two personalities on tfl! This was hilarious. Thanks guys.
Sat in one a few days ago no headroom in the front or back. If you sit back all the way your head hits the roof rails. True I'm 6'4" but that's supposed to be a big American SUV. I have no trouble fitting in a model 3.
I’m 6’5” i sat in many of them the pickup and the suv I was mad comfortable, so how are you 6’4” not having headroom?
I think you didn’t adjust the sit control right.
the spare wheel is on the curb because if you're broke down on the highway it's safer to remove the spare wheel
Doesn't seem to be a problem with the G Wagon.
@@b.t.2795 well when you're changing a tyre in your G wagon and an 18 wheeler roles by, remember some guy in Germany designed it 🤣
Wonder if they have any plans to introduce a smaller Hummer like they did with the old gas models (H2/H3).
For now there is hope for the upcoming Rivian R2/R3. Just home those fit my budget.
I’ve been seeing one here in Henderson, Nevada for the past couple of months!
Looks nicer than the Hummer EV truck. $120k....uuugghhh
they think the hinge is parked in a driveway and the drive with a forward to right side garage is just fine. However the huge Tailgate hingle is amazingly strong with a huge tire on the back end.
I do buy overpriced Birkenstocks but can’t afford a third of a Hummer. LOL.
If you skip your daily Kombucha, you could probably get at least halfway there. 😀
anyone have any ideas how this would drive on sand? so little information about driving this on beaches available. too heavy??
You guys should do a off road review with the hummer suv
Well the 2X is available for sale that has an under 100K base price.
You’re right about that.
Door opens that way because the tire would be towards the curb if u needed to swap. You don't want to do that sort of work on the road side.
Tire extends over a foot beyond the tailgate. Maybe the thinking was to keep the tire from opening into traffic.
Should have taken it off some sweet jumps.
5:47 The HUMMER SUV was clearly designed for UK market.
Take 30-40 grand off it and I'd consider buying it for an SUV.
I’m In Cleveland Ohio and I have seen one of these literally 3x this week. He’s a local guy have no idea what he does but he’s had it for at least 6 weeks.
He's taking it back next week...lol
He goes into debt. That’s what he does.
Local douchebag?
If the door swings out to the right might be comfortable to those trading up from the old hummers to this as that is the way they swing ! And we are use to it! That’s the way I’d want it!
They take mortgages on trade in?
They raised prices on reservation holders , dropped the standard range , and lowered the horsepower. After making reservation holders wait years. I canceled my reservations, electric g wagon for me.
The rear door is hinged on that side because if it was hinged on the other side when open the spare tire would stick out into traffic.
Andre said it right 'its just an experience toy.'
