I think it's a really cool vehicle. But honestly 90% of the off-roading that any of these will see that are sold is hopping the curb by accident in a mall, or a Whole Foods parking lot.

[@davidmitchell5638]

Yeah in your logic we should all live in a jungle or middle of a desert inorder to justify buying any off road vehicle? Same argument can be made for any sports car. At the end of the day most of what we buy are wants not needs!

@@davidmitchell5638 how am I wrong though? In my comment I said 90% not 100%. That 10% might be the people that live in a jungle, desert, mountains, or basically anywhere with rugged terrain. The Hummer brand specifically has always been categorized as an off-road luxury brand. I hope that some of these will actually be used as off-road vehicles considering the amount of off-road technology that has been packed into them. It's a shame to buy a vehicle with all this technology just to turn into a f****** mall crawler.

Over the last decade or more, truck manufacturers have gone to extreme lengths to lighten their trucks to make them more capable, handle and brake better, tow more, haul more, and be more efficient. We're talking about aluminum engines and bodies, composite beds, light weight high strength steel frames, etc, etc. And the media bragged them all up, claiming them to be way better than the heavier models. Now all of a sudden these very very Heavy monsters are so awesome, what happened??? Are all the virtues of lighter suddenly meaningless?, were they all along? what tires are they using to keep them usable and capable to haul anything?, Lots of questions need answering.

[@tired_brickmason34]

well, the idea behind making them lighter was to save on gas.

That's a freaking Hummer not your next door farmer's work truck. They're meant to be as impressive as possible. Not everything has to be about efficiency. Otherwise we would all drive around in Corollas and basic Toyota Hilux.

[@ranig2848]

It can't and would never be half the price since GM botched the engineering on this and make it super inefficient, which required lots of batteries which made it even heavier and even less inefficient. What a failure to execute. Even at >$100k GM is losing money on this and so far has produced less than 100 units... 10-20% used for press coverage 🤦‍♂

[@StarGateSG7]

While people rail against the $112,000 price tag and the lack of paint colours, I say this is JUST THE START! If you put it on a 4-year (48 month) lease for your personal company, your payments are $2400 per month which is now a tax deductible expense AND with depreciation, your end-of-lease buyout will be less than $15,000 and you will get $7000 back from the federal government for an EV purchase and some states will give you $2000 to $6000 back so your buyout is now mostly paid for! To customize this truck, put a full-colour Vinyl Wrap on it like Mossy Oak Camouflage, Solid Red, Blue, Black or even Army Green. Add a custom rear truck bed canopy with lockable side compartments and roof rack. Then add a rear swing-out cage for the tires and TWO 80 lbs propane tanks and add some bush bars with winches front and back and I would even spend money on a no-noise propane fuel cell that can recharge the Hummer WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING! That means your range goes up to 1000 miles depending upon propane tank size which you can also use for the portable BBQ and campsite hot water sink/shower system. V

Yeah now where you fill up your 4x4 before deciding and sometime later you have to be back at the gas station to fill up again is so much better -_- They're the same thing. And while if you're pulling triple-digit mile trips often it can be more inconvenient, over time that'll improve, EVs have had way less time than gasoline to improve themselves and supporting infrastructure. And for many who don't fall into that camp, charging at home is MORE convenient

Tesla have lower build quality, an unjustified high price for what they are, poor customer service, can remove features you've paid for with no warning and they can be funny about you wanting to repair your car, instead wanting to sell you a new one.
