We finally got a chance to drive GMC’s new fully electric super truck! The WTF launch control is appropriately named and this truck is insane, excessive, and in-your-face at the same time. Yup, it’s a Hummer. 😂
As cool as these things are, I really am going to worry once they are more popular and in hands of less skilled drivers. Imagine this 9,000lbs behemoth T-boning your small car after the driver couldn't handle the acceleration.
@@richardnavratil9661 You came here just to share this again? This same theory can be applied to anything that weighs 3+ tons and has an accelerator whether it’s a battery powered electric vehicle or ICE product full of flammable gasoline. Furthermore, less skilled drivers are already on the roads - some of which are in Tesla Model X Plaids that _don’t_ have 106 mph limiters. Hummer with all its safety tech is the least of your worries. Please HANG IT UP already sir.
3 days ago saw these 2 Hummers pulling seriously hard in traffic on the 51 headed south to i10 west - you could see them step on the throttle and zoom - it was cool
As a GM guy I’m genuinely impressed by the Hummer twins. It feels like not long ago we were watching the reveal of this truck. GMC did a great job bringing the concept to production and the idea of this Edition 1 to life. For this to be their first generation, I’m excited for the future more efficient EVs! 😁
With vehicles like these with 9,000lbs weight that can accelerate this insanely T-boning your car at an intersection. I'm glad the NHTSA is (albeit slowly) increasing the size and weight of their test vehicles, since vast majority of people drive large SUVs now. This thing will be SCARY in the hands of unskilled driver.
To that commenter that chickened out and deleted a comment they left on two of my posts, one of them saying: "This same logic can be applied to anything that weighs over 2 tons with a accelerator whether electric or full of flammable gasoline. Please HNAGBITBUP already." (yes, word for word, I assume they meant "hang it up"). My response is yes, there are dump trucks and other trucks of larger weights, but those require a CDL. I.e. a specialized license that goes beyond regular driver's ed. If you can't see the difference between that and something a freshly licensed driver at 16-17 can pick up and drive off the lot immediately versus someone that just gone through CDL schooling, then there's no explaining this to you.
@DOGS LOL Yes it’s all the same. Your body won’t know the differences between being t-boned by 9,000 lbs and t- boned by just 6,000 lbs. Sorry if you actually thought otherwise. 🤷🏾♂️
GM just changed what it means to be an EV. For years all we've heard is drag reduction (making the body and wheels ugly), weight reduction (making the interior look like an empty closet), and coding nerds needed to squeeze every electron for max efficiency. GM said forget all that isht: just make the thing have a battery big enough to power a battleship and you don't need to worry about drag or weight or efficiency. Make it how we WANT it, not how it "has to be". GDF'ing right. That is 'Murica!
"A lot of you are wondering what's powering the damn thing" - LOL! Oh thank you for showing me the Hummer EV.... I'm in love and I don't even know why.
They need to put a huge guzzler tax on this. This vehicle is retarded with today's supply shortage and and the move to green energy this is nothing close and GM deserves to go out of business because of this.
Not gonna lie, GM flooded this thing with insane amounts of technology. It seems to be so well put together for a first effort of this magnitude for the company. Tesla's Cybertruck is somewhere hopelessly crying in a corner! Curious to see this against smaller R1T. Can't hardly wait to see the bros at the gym and mom at Sbux with these.
Was waiting when you're gonna get your hands on this! Videos like these I'm sure will get you to 1M subs soon. As soon as I saw Doug and Throttle House get this, I knew you're going to be not far behind!
Does no one see the irony in this? They made a conscious choice to make the thing inefficient and have less towing ability. You have to TRY to be this bad at making a vehicle in 2022.
@@kennethlasseter9264 You would also have to be one of the few confused individuals on the planet to look at this machine and think “that’s a badly made vehicle”. Apparently, efficiency is the 1 and ONLY thing you concern yourself with in a brand new automobile. That ain’t everybody. 🤡
@@mybro727 Not "confused" and I don't think it's badly made: never said that. In fact, it's quite an amazing vehicle. Just can't see actually using it as an actual truck or off-road vehicle the way they are touting it. But, like I said, people are going to buy it for whatever purpose they may have for something so excessive as this and good for them.
I can already imagine all of the trophy wives who will be driving these around town because they are safe for their kids (and dangerous for everyone else).
@@mybro727 my point wasn’t that SuperCruise was the problem. It’s the stupid drivers that think “semi-autonomous” driving aid means the car won’t make any mistakes or glitch.
@@garrettw99 That’s exactly what it means. If you’re expecting your semi autonomous driving system to make mistakes and glitches then you’re probably not going to use it very much and then I’d pose the question what’s even the point in paying thousands for a feature you’re too afraid to use anyway? That doesn’t make any sense to me.
@@mybro727 if you’re saying a semi-autonomous system doesn’t make mistakes, why do you think every system is called SEMI-autonomous. You’re acting like one of those people that reads a book in their Tesla or falls asleep on Autopilot with an orange wedged between the steering wheel. None of them are fool-proof
This vehicle is a convertible and a truck so the material have to be able to sustain the elements even for short periods of time. That said, it is possible to add more sound deadening materials to the wheel wells and use double laminated roof panel. The bad part would be having to lift them when you want to remove then, not to mention adding even more overall weight to an already ponderous vehicle.
So, the battery pack alone weighs more than a handful of subcompact cars. Imagine those replacement costs.The headlights in the bumper isn’t a great design for off-roading. If this was an ICE vehicle, it would be enticing, save for the cost.
@@CarlosPerez-mp2rk ummm yeah, try that after 10 years, which is around the end of average battery life. $20-30k is what’s estimated. Laugh emoji at that.
@@brianwinkler8183 You’re complaint is the 10+ year ownership costs? 😂How much do you think a Cybertruck’s battery replacement is going to cost ya? I’m not sure if they even use the same method as GM with interchangeable modules that can be replaced if need be instead of replacing the pack.
That is correct. Thanks for clarifying. It’s been so long since we reviewed another GM full EV and we had it stuck in our minds that only the Bolt doesn’t qualify anymore.
@@mitchellbarnow1709 Agreed. A lot of these ev owners conviently ignore that taxes that go to pay for road upkeep come from gas purchases. If they're going to buy these heavy, AWD, fast zero to sixty cars (all of which will cause accelerated wear and tear on the roads), they should pay their damn share of road upkeep.
@@brianwinkler8183 Sure you wouldn’t, _that_ must be why you took the time to respond to Kyle, right?. Lol. This Hummer EV will recharge within a matter of minutes too, and has built in Google software/maps to get you to the nearest fast charger which will cost you less money than refueling that 36 gallon tank at $5 per gallon in the Ford - so what’s your point? The Raptor is far less appealing to look at, far less appealing to sit inside of, the Ford is slower, smaller, less powerful, and has far less capability regardless of which mode you’re in or what kinda terrain you’re on.
@@mybro727 where are those fast charge stations where you’re using all that power and capability???? Also, it takes at least 45 minutes to get enough range to be worthwhile. You conveniently forget there’s little to no infrastructure outside of cities. I’m not envious of anything that impractical…no good reason to be. It’s a pig that’ll need $30k worth to replace the battery pack when they need replacement.
@@brianwinkler8183 Why would the entire battery pack need replacement when GM has designed a pack with individual interchangeable modules specifically so that they can be replaced individually if need be which was literally covered in the review? Define “worthwhile”. Where are you getting 45 mins from? Again, not on a DCFC it doesn’t take anywhere near an hour to get a decent charge. You’re making things up. Perhaps you’re unaware of the sheer size of this battery pack. It’s going to take a bit more time to charge it vs. If you were at the pump draining your wallet for a beast of this scale. You kind of understand that walking into the dealership. This is clearly not the trim level for the most practical & efficient Hummer EV money can buy - it’s literally the fully loaded top of the line *Edition 1.* It’s essentially the same as buying a Cadillac Escalade V and complaining about the fuel economy and practicality for the price point - not exactly the point of that particular trim level. Practicality and efficiency aren’t usually the priorities for any range topping fully loaded trim model of any vehicle, they _are_ expensive, full of innovative bells & never before seen whistles. Lastly, there are *many* people including myself, who live around, nearby, and even _inside_ of cities. Believe it or not, not everyone lives deep in the woods. If you do you still have the option of driving into that city where you purchase your new cars as you have over 300+ miles of range on a full charge. No real limits there if you re-check the fast charger infrastructure again. I won’t list the fast charger stations and their addresses across the U.S. and Canada off the top of my head, but I’m sure the Google assistant has time and wouldn’t mind assisting - that’s what _it’s_ for.
@@mybro727 what a blathering soliloquy…anyways, having “bro” in your RU-vid handle is appropriate, considering who will be fans of this deliberate excess, your logic trying to justify the price is laughable. Cost should include capabilities and practicality, especially for the size. You’re making excuses, and no I’m not making things up about charge time, or the cost of battery replacement. Should it matter if it’s replaced as a whole or cumulatively? No, because it more than offsets any perceived savings vs ICE. Nice try. Enjoy your bro vehicle where you are either confined to the fringes of the city or have to plan carefully.
Now there's nothing I hate seeing more than ppl driving houses in the city streets of where I live. But if I saw this in my city I would have no choice but to stare in utter amazement.
I generally despise Hummers but GM has really made this new version hard not to like. love the overall "desert truck" stance. for the $110k MSRP the tech and battery is almost a bargain. even if could buy one, ironically it would never fit in my garage NOR my driveway. this is the REAL tri-motor Cybertruck.
Another great Redline Review, this time of AOC's dream truck..... because I am sure she will think this somehow advances her cause. But it is a cool vehicle. Not exactly my cup of tea but what fun would life be if we all wanted the same thing?
@@mybro727 I'm obviously referring to the hotbutton politicized subject of environmental sustainability. I don't give a fuck about what's sustainable for your family lol.
Vehicle registration fees should be based on the weight of the vehicle because that is wears out our roads, especially since EV's don't use gasoline or diesel. I am saying this as an EV driver myself, not from someone with a negative attitude toward EV's We need a fair way to pay for the up keep of our roads in a manner that is fair to all.
@@georgejungle138 What a dumb comment. If forklifts have run on electric for decades, it's because the tech worked enough for it to do so and there was a need. A forklift is NOT the same as a car. I'm going to let you think about this a little bit.
@@cbruno12180 You're talking after any warranty. Real obvious. First owners of luxury vehicles don't keep them past warranty periods. They just move onto to the next new thing. I can see plebes financing this for 84 months though. Even then you're smart to get an extended warranty. Surprised this isn't common knowledge.
Great resurgence of an American icon for sure! Gotta say this and the new EV Silv⚡rado is electrifying! Great job GM now make it affordable for regular Joe's like me😜😆
@@lpete531The battery tech _alone_ makes it worth $112k. That wasn’t my point. You stated no high end materials is disappointing, but there’s authentic metal trim, and real leather with genuine stitching throughout the interior.
He clearly seems disappointed in comparison to his Lightning Pro review. Hilarious that Rivian hasn't allowed him to review the R1T...i sense he'd take it down for not having a ton of features for the price. But I'd love to see it..
This car is more of a showpiece to sell GM's other cars. Same with the Porsche 911 and most supercars.

Would these EV vehicles be compatible with Tesla charging stations, or would there be specific charging stations for these vehicles? I'm asking while watching this video for the first time
Nothing worse when they make CarPlay so tiny… immediately makes it a do not buy for me. Can’t wait for the new CarPlay that takes over every screen. Going to be epic.
Does this thing have 20in brembos? I don't see 9,200lbs stopping at a decent amount of distance at highway speeds. Hell, a dually only goes up to 6,000lbs, this thing will be dangerous on the road.
