This is by no means any kind of stress test. This is marketing. GM wouldn't have taken him and a dozen other people from the media to this location if they didn't already test the truck there and believe it would show it off well.
People who complain about this Hummer being high priced at $110k haven't seen the used (diesel) prices. Fifteen to twenty-year-old used Hummers are going for $70k - $150k and up. H1 Alphas (2006) start at $200k and can reach $350k. When you factor the electric motor and all the new amenities, this price doesn't seem nearly so high.
It will be interesting to compare the Hummer EV to the cybertruck when it comes out. I have a feeling the HEV will look a bit less appealing price wise.
Yeah, the fully loaded Hummer Wagon, in 2000, was a little over $100k new, and the EV has a lot more features (though it looks like the EV *doesn't* have CTIS...)

The problem with digital rear-view mirrors is that for normal mirrors, you don't need to focus your eyes close (because of the way light works you will be focusing your eyes to the distance the actual object is at).

One thing for sure, your custom Hummer EV look tougher than the official one. But we do need further comparison between both of them in battery life per charge aspect and how it's power delivered. Overall price tag would be awesome too, I'm actually curious of how much the custom Hummer EV cost you (of course excluded installing services cost)
I did a napkin maths to estimate the cost some time ago and I think I had a price tag of something over 50k. The engine alone is worth like 20k A full testa battery pack, even if used, is over 20k too. His BMS and motor controller are both top of the line at, I think, 2k each. Ev conversions aren't cheap, and jerry basically used the most expensive components on the market.
That is one impressive convoy! 1000HP and 11.5K lb.-ft of torque is mind boggling to say the least! I'm enjoying your EV reviews! I can't wait to run into your Hummer EV here in Utah!
@Carl Gunderson I don't mean to compare it directly to a plaid, but I'm talking about the motors. 1000 hp is a lot, but in the EV world it also kind of isn't. And again, the torque number isn't saying anything. And the plaid motor comparison is fair as the Cybertruck will use the same motors
@Carl Gunderson It's a lot obviously but what I meant is that achieving 1000hp in an EV is way easier and more common than in iCE vehicles. You can simply add a motor. Price is not that relevant for this, these are high margin vehicles anyways
I want one of these trucks or the SUV's, BUT I'm on a fixed income, $1,000.00 mo., so I don't see me getting one anytime soon. Which totally sucks. The rebates from the government wouldn't even help me to buy one either. So I'll just stick to my 2005 GMC Envoy which is paid in full. No payments. But I can dream I own one..... lol...... Thanks for the ride Zack. It was fun. Chris from Missouri
Plural form of Cactus is Cacti. It's also funny that most reviewers don't get the whole theme of the vehicle. GM worked with Boeing to create the first Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) back in the 60s. It was an all electric vehicle and they are celebrating that heritage with all the Apollo / Lunar mission references in the new Hummer EV. Like the sea of tranquility in the speaker grills , astronaut foot print in the footwell and the picture of the Saturn v rocket in towing mode. Pretty neat and I think they should include a little video demo of some sort for their audience that are either too young or completely distracted by the beastly spects of this truck.
having a Hummer H3....in Europe, with the gas prices exploding here, would love to turn it into an electric powered one, but guess it would cost a fortune to rebuild, especially cause I ain´t a handyman myself, and parts are not easy either to get by here, but could be cool. About the new Hummer EV??? Just WOW! Would love to own one of these, but with the price tag already sky high in the US.....don´t even wanna think of the price here in Europe after crazy ass duty/Import taxes and VAT! 🤯Thanks as always J for bringing up another great vid! 🙌🏻💪🏻
I’d be concerned about road damage from this vehicle considering it weighs 9,000lbs. Certain roads in my area won’t let you travel them if they’re above 3 tons.
If there is one thing I like about the legacy manufacturers is that... They announce something a year off and a year later, we actually get the product. The other new companies, even if they have money, they still want your money before they make the thing. Basically interest free loans
I've never understood the idea of a luxury or high tech offroader. It's a cool truck but i just don't see that much of a market for it. The problem isn't that it's electric, it's that it's too expensive and too complicated. To each their own i guess.
yeah, if I'm going to spend 100k on an off-road car I rather just modify a existing car and have something wayyy cooler and more capable than this. Its going to turn out like the g wagon, crazy expensive yet cabable off road but will only ever see fresh paved roads.
Americans buy trucks but only use the bed twice a year and the off-roading capabilities every once in a while to go through the potholes in the asphalt.
@@randomjoao That's true of some Americans but i assure you that many use the bed or towing ability often if not daily. The offroad ability for many people is for snow or muddy job sites/farm feilds.
@Carl Gunderson Firstly Tesla wasn't even mentioned. Secondly, it's too expensive (in my opinion) to offroad. Meaning i wouldn't want to beat it up. And if you're rich and just don't care about the price, you could buy a real offroader that's more capable. Look, I'm not hating on it or saying you shouldn't buy one, just that i don't understand the appeal personally.
Well, really no need to necessarily have separate packs, but just more cells that can take it. So if you have 200 kWh worth of cells, and you can charge each cell with a constant current, it is twice more than with 100 kWh worth of cells. In how many ever packs they are.
Nice one to go picking up a hot cross bun at the bakery in the morning. ;-) I had to add 1.190 eurobucks for the bigger integrated charger in the opel corsa-e so it can now charge at 3 phase AC / 11kW instead of standard 1 phase AC / 7.4kW (charging station) It can charge at 1.8kW on a household plug (230V-16A socket) so it's really intended to not draw too much current and might even work ok on a 120V socket.. I will probably also get the portable "universal charger" for 730 bucks because it is a one-for-all and will also work on 3phase/16A CEE which can be easily installed and doesnt need a "smart" charger or wallbox. The car has a 50kWh battery pack and a usable range of around 200miles with that. (high speed = bad) All in all the corsa-e with a nice options package comes in at around 36k to 38k euros (all in package) which comes down to around 27k after subsidies (-9.750€). You can even sell your "unused" CO2 emissions for about 300 bucks a year. I really hope for good interior quality (and i mean robust, not fancy) and getting rid of those glossy surfaces and touchscreens..
Notification: "Hummer EV"..."off roading" My brain: Wait it's done already? I thought it still needed to be calibrated and doors put back on and stuff Me after realizing it's not _that_ Hummer EV: Aww man
Hey about the electric wheelchair tires. I used to race motocross years ago and they made a tire called a Super Digger, it had treads all the way to the edge of the rim so you could get traction even laying the bike down on it’s side. You are better off having the motorcycle shop mount the tire, they are hard to get on a rim with hand tools. You need a tire with grips on the outer and inner edge to pull in the mud and sand. I have seen Buckshot Mudder tires completely slick with worn out center tread but the outside lugs allowed the tire to pull the truck through mud holes and ruts that log skidders had made. Hope this idea helps.
That's not the worst part. All EV-ORV's are the dumbest ideas ever!! Like with the Rivian, what are they going to do when they're 100-150miles into an off-road excursion and run out of juice? You know the range on these things towing, get reduced from 300miles to below 60miles, so off-road your range will most likely be less than 150mi. Us regular I.C.E. Off-Roaders always carry more than enough extra fuel in Jerry-Cans or those 50-100gal Transfer Tank-Toolbox combos. With EV's you can't carry spare electricity and no one out there can give them any. The Volt-Dolts better build themselves some windmills and only camp out on windy Bluffs or draw straws to see whom in their lil party with be cannibalized. 😆😂🤣
@@MAGGOT_VOMIT nobody's saying electric vehicles are perfect. But gas is getting more expensive and isn't going to last forever. We are quickly making progress with EV's so I don't know what else you want. Obviously this type of vehicle isn't very practical for an average joe, more of a showcase of where we're at with the technology.
@Daniel Vipin That's hoping the computer accepts it as a legit charging source. Coming from a generator, the voltage will be very "dirty". The generator would need to be large enough to handle continuous load from charging it. It would need quite a lot of Gasoline to power it and a substantial wait-time to charge it, but it would be better than nothing. I suggested that in another vid a while back and the response was as if I was killin' kittens. {0.o} 😆😂🤣
@@kdxkyle What I want is simple. I want people to start using their heads and not get themselves into serious trouble off-road in these wannabe ORV's, because they weren't warned by these hype vids. If you think gasoline is going bye-bye, you're sadly mistaken. You think there's more Lithium deposits than oil deposits?? At least 2 of the largest Lithium mines in Australia have already been depleted by the Chinese Mining companies leasing them. Since the electronics industry makes lots more money per ton of Lithium needed to power phones and other devices, if more Lithium mines become depleted there will be a ban worldwide on all EV manufacturers from using Lithium cells. Then what are ya gonna do?
Funny. Just a few days ago I was wondering how kids playing in the street or me walking through a parking lot would hear an EV approaching. Hey, 20 points for the gov't passing a useful law. 🔌🚙
Unless you’re driving below 10mph it’s not a problem because tires still make a noise. You probably live in the US since it’s a concern of you. But in EU you also have to look out for people on bikes which make no sound at all. And can travel quite fast
Not spending much more time charging than filling up, but only getting 1/3rd of the range of a small SUV (like a Honda Pilot), or 1/4 the range of something like a Suburban. When you compare time to recharge/refuel with obtained range - EV still takes much longer to achieve a full range charge than an gas engine vehicle. Additionally, if you run out of gas, you can return to your vehicle with a gas can to extend your range to a pump - where an EV must be towed.....or be attached to a generator (hahahahaha). I like your videos - don't get me wrong. EV is a luxury toy for people who have the time to play with them. I'm planning on building one myself, a hybrid actually, with a focus on efficiency at the expense of every possible comfort.
Hummev announced in 2020 actually. And if you looked at official gm numbers they only planned to build about 10k this year in total. Q1s gone and they delivered what a dozen of em? Yeah 200+kwh pack's are hard to source these days. 😀
I don't think the hummer is made with any form of prvit. Just like the Rivian. And when Ford starts they will have the same problem. When Tesla delivers the first truck it WILL make profit. That takes time. More than Elon likes to.
Apartheid son was betting that Mango Mussolini would be still be in office to waive safety regulations, Cybertruck going to be look different than shown to be compliant.
Honest question, i am far from an expert: Isn't the heavy weight a huge obstacle when it comes to offroading? Especially in loose sand and wet soil? I remember that in Matt's Offroad Recovery channel, usually lighter vehicles are used to rescue heavier ones? If you want to make an environment friendly offroad vehicle, wouldn't a plugin-hybrid with a small battery make more sense? Or are there more factors in play here that i do not know?
@@AKAtheA At least it's unlikely to float away during a water crossing. Although with that much electrical current, if it leaks it will kill all fish within 50 yards haha.
Firstly, most of these Hummers will never go off-road. Secondly, GMC build cars using the cheapest materials they can get away with and cheap normally equals heavy. Finally, these Hummers will have the build quality of a takeaway container.
Hope laws and regulations in EU (and Norway where I live) can adjust to more and more EV becoming heavier than normal cars. As it is at current state, one need a special drivers license for vehicles above 3.500kg (7.700 lbs). Basically one have to register them as a lorry or semi, and be limited to two seats only. I want to upgrade my midlife crisis from a Dodge RAM to a EV Hummer! :D

I can still see Rivian and Ford doing better, but I also see where the Hummer EV can fit in. I'm wondering with the newer battery packs coming to market and Dodge, Toyota and other car manufacturers what will be created/added. Hopefully at a nice price as well.
@@lukelegg9915 there is power and torque. They have actually a very similar amount of torque and power, but the Teslas have more power and the hummers have more torque. I’ve never heard anyone say that power is defined by torque so it would be defined by horsepower
@@JG-oc9gc thing is, model s has only 20 more hp, and weighs just under 5k pounds, 0-60 in 2 seconds whereas the hummer has 20 less hp, and more torque, weighs just shy of 10k pounds, and can still do 0-60 in 3 seconds, so tell me which one is more powerful
@@JG-oc9gc power is an all encompassing term. It has other meanings. "That was a powerful speech." "That is a powerful computer." The Hummer is far more powerful than a Tesla, all things considered.
Those digital mirrors are all bad. With a normal mirror you still have 3d visions as your eyes get slightly different pictures. With a screen both your eyes get the exact same picture so no 3d vision. So its just not doing the job of a mirror.
I am a fan of the Rivian style truck, although I don't think it's the future because I don't know the future, there could be hydrogen powered vehicles or other modes of powering vehicles, but for right now in 2022, I think my preference still lies in an engine, I just like the sound and the roar of the engine, but if I could afford to, I would definitely test my preference and go for the Rivian Truck. Great Video by the way, I ve been watching since 2 million subs.
This was obviously I paid advertisement by hummer, but I would like to see how off-roading affects electric trucks. Other tests I've seen with just electric vehicles has killed batteries pretty fast and I wonder if these new electric trucks are the same?
@@brettdonovan i age that he is very honest about things and that's why I subscribe. I say obviously because this is a preplanned route in a convoy of other people testing the same vehicle. Had they loaned it out to him to do his own testing I would feel differently.
you have to make over $300k per year to afford this vehicle comfortably. most people will go for a real truck like the Ford Lightning or Rivian or even a Cybertruck. these are just for fun, not really practical esp at 9k pound weight. not going to be a regularly sold vehicle. shoot even the gasoline hummers were a tragedy because of the size alone(notice how you don't see any of them on the road anymore?). a rich persons impractical vehicle lololololzzzzzz
A ford lightning equipped like this is going to be over $90k and thats just the estimate right now. Final total price isn't expected until deliveries start so the price will probably be higher. The Rivian optioned like the Hummer is also $90k but can be more if you move up to the largest battery. Fact is, neither of those trucks offer the same options the Hummer offer nor do they offer the same power. To some the $20k extra will be well worth it for, for others the other EV truck options will be better choices.
I make those rear view mirrors for a living, it broke my heart to hear that you didn't like the digital aspect of it. Much respect though, haven't really seen them in action in a car myself!

I did a napkin maths to estimate the cost some time ago and I think I had a price tag of something over 50k.
The engine alone is worth like 20k
A full testa battery pack, even if used, is over 20k too.
His BMS and motor controller are both top of the line at, I think, 2k each.
Ev conversions aren't cheap, and jerry basically used the most expensive components on the market.

Enjoying that gasket on that Rover engine of yours? Imao
That is one impressive convoy! 1000HP and 11.5K lb.-ft of torque is mind boggling to say the least! I'm enjoying your EV reviews! I can't wait to run into your Hummer EV here in Utah!
11.5K lb-ft is wheel torque so that says absolutely nothing. 1000 hp is a lot but the Model S plaid has that too and is way lighter
@Carl Gunderson I don't mean to compare it directly to a plaid, but I'm talking about the motors. 1000 hp is a lot, but in the EV world it also kind of isn't. And again, the torque number isn't saying anything. And the plaid motor comparison is fair as the Cybertruck will use the same motors
@Carl Gunderson It's a lot obviously but what I meant is that achieving 1000hp in an EV is way easier and more common than in iCE vehicles. You can simply add a motor. Price is not that relevant for this, these are high margin vehicles anyways
Compare your DIY hummer with this🔥🔥🔥
A TUG of War
Would be interesting. 😍
I want one of these trucks or the SUV's, BUT I'm on a fixed income, $1,000.00 mo., so I don't see me getting one anytime soon. Which totally sucks. The rebates from the government wouldn't even help me to buy one either.
So I'll just stick to my 2005 GMC Envoy which is paid in full. No payments. But I can dream I own one..... lol......
Thanks for the ride Zack. It was fun.

Jerry would make a good used car salesman.
I love how companies are approaching you frequently for truck related videos
They had this same rear wheel articulation back with the 2000-2004 GMC Denali Trucks, remember I wanted one!
Plural form of Cactus is Cacti. It's also funny that most reviewers don't get the whole theme of the vehicle. GM worked with Boeing to create the first Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) back in the 60s. It was an all electric vehicle and they are celebrating that heritage with all the Apollo / Lunar mission references in the new Hummer EV. Like the sea of tranquility in the speaker grills , astronaut foot print in the footwell and the picture of the Saturn v rocket in towing mode. Pretty neat and I think they should include a little video demo of some sort for their audience that are either too young or completely distracted by the beastly spects of this truck.
I think reviewing EVs should be your next step besides doing phones. Absolutely love these videos
No. Just no. Marques has already given us a look of how smartphone UA-camrs review cars. Not at all car guys. No.
@@imran5373 This dood literaly built an EV in his garage. I think he is more qualified.
@@imran5373 this guy knows what he's talking about
The brotherhood between Dan and Jerry is amazing
For that much money I'd want to pick my own sub-twenty noise/chord or have options for it.
That could be a lot of fun in terms of personalization.
They should gone with the flying car sound they used in The Jetsons.
having a Hummer H3....in Europe, with the gas prices exploding here, would love to turn it into an electric powered one, but guess it would cost a fortune to rebuild, especially cause I ain´t a handyman myself, and parts are not easy either to get by here, but could be cool. About the new Hummer EV??? Just WOW! Would love to own one of these, but with the price tag already sky high in the US.....don´t even wanna think of the price here in Europe after crazy ass duty/Import taxes and VAT! 🤯Thanks as always J for bringing up another great vid! 🙌🏻💪🏻
Be interesting to see the long term reliablity of this Hummer. Good video. 👍
No engine/transmission problems to go wrong. The worst problem would be the battery packs.
I love the troll of your co-driver about cactus studies.. humanizes the video it's awesome
This series is seriously addicting
Jerry's voice is so chill and good dude. You should make a try out to be a radio host man
I’d be concerned about road damage from this vehicle considering it weighs 9,000lbs. Certain roads in my area won’t let you travel them if they’re above 3 tons.
You're literally the American guy stereotype, breaking things and driving trucks! I love it haha
Really really great vehicle.
And as always, clean and high quality content from Jerry.
Thank you.
had to restart the video simply for the intro, soo good👌
If there is one thing I like about the legacy manufacturers is that... They announce something a year off and a year later, we actually get the product. The other new companies, even if they have money, they still want your money before they make the thing. Basically interest free loans
Thank you for being the seemingly only person on the internet who understands why digital mirrors suck due to having to refocus your eyes.
I've never understood the idea of a luxury or high tech offroader. It's a cool truck but i just don't see that much of a market for it. The problem isn't that it's electric, it's that it's too expensive and too complicated. To each their own i guess.
yeah, if I'm going to spend 100k on an off-road car I rather just modify a existing car and have something wayyy cooler and more capable than this. Its going to turn out like the g wagon, crazy expensive yet cabable off road but will only ever see fresh paved roads.
Americans buy trucks but only use the bed twice a year and the off-roading capabilities every once in a while to go through the potholes in the asphalt.
@@randomjoao That's true of some Americans but i assure you that many use the bed or towing ability often if not daily. The offroad ability for many people is for snow or muddy job sites/farm feilds.
Two words: Mercedes G Wagon
@Carl Gunderson Firstly Tesla wasn't even mentioned. Secondly, it's too expensive (in my opinion) to offroad. Meaning i wouldn't want to beat it up. And if you're rich and just don't care about the price, you could buy a real offroader that's more capable. Look, I'm not hating on it or saying you shouldn't buy one, just that i don't understand the appeal personally.

just like the fast charging of phones, two separate battery packs 🤔
Well, really no need to necessarily have separate packs, but just more cells that can take it. So if you have 200 kWh worth of cells, and you can charge each cell with a constant current, it is twice more than with 100 kWh worth of cells. In how many ever packs they are.
Nice one to go picking up a hot cross bun at the bakery in the morning. ;-)
I had to add 1.190 eurobucks for the bigger integrated charger in the opel corsa-e so it can now charge at
3 phase AC / 11kW
instead of standard
1 phase AC / 7.4kW (charging station)
It can charge at 1.8kW on a household plug (230V-16A socket) so it's really intended to not draw too much current and might even work ok on a 120V socket..
I will probably also get the portable "universal charger" for 730 bucks because it is a one-for-all and will also work on 3phase/16A CEE which can be easily installed
and doesnt need a "smart" charger or wallbox.
The car has a 50kWh battery pack and a usable range of around 200miles with that. (high speed = bad)
All in all the corsa-e with a nice options package comes in at around 36k to 38k euros (all in package) which comes down to around 27k after subsidies (-9.750€).
You can even sell your "unused" CO2 emissions for about 300 bucks a year.
I really hope for good interior quality (and i mean robust, not fancy) and getting rid of those glossy surfaces and touchscreens..
If I had money for something like this I think I'd also choose the Rivan over this Hummer.
agree.
The Rivian is an unproven company, with relatively no vehicles produced.
@@littlejackalo5326 yes....whats your question?
@@littlejackalo5326 deliberate ignorance 😂
Lol…. I’ll most definitely take the hummer, that 200kwh battery is amazing and imagine what you could do with that later!!
Got to love AZ. Sometimes it jumps from rain, then hail, and ends by snowing. 🤪
Notification: "Hummer EV"..."off roading"
My brain: Wait it's done already? I thought it still needed to be calibrated and doors put back on and stuff
Me after realizing it's not _that_ Hummer EV: Aww man
Hey about the electric wheelchair tires. I used to race motocross years ago and they made a tire called a Super Digger, it had treads all the way to the edge of the rim so you could get traction even laying the bike down on it’s side. You are better off having the motorcycle shop mount the tire, they are hard to get on a rim with hand tools. You need a tire with grips on the outer and inner edge to pull in the mud and sand. I have seen Buckshot Mudder tires completely slick with worn out center tread but the outside lugs allowed the tire to pull the truck through mud holes and ruts that log skidders had made. Hope this idea helps.
Looks neat, never thought I'd say it about a Hummer. I wonder how much stress it'll put on the roads though.
That's not the worst part. All EV-ORV's are the dumbest ideas ever!! Like with the Rivian, what are they going to do when they're 100-150miles into an off-road excursion and run out of juice? You know the range on these things towing, get reduced from 300miles to below 60miles, so off-road your range will most likely be less than 150mi. Us regular I.C.E. Off-Roaders always carry more than enough extra fuel in Jerry-Cans or those 50-100gal Transfer Tank-Toolbox combos. With EV's you can't carry spare electricity and no one out there can give them any.
The Volt-Dolts better build themselves some windmills and only camp out on windy Bluffs or draw straws to see whom in their lil party with be cannibalized. 😆😂🤣
@@MAGGOT_VOMIT nobody's saying electric vehicles are perfect. But gas is getting more expensive and isn't going to last forever. We are quickly making progress with EV's so I don't know what else you want. Obviously this type of vehicle isn't very practical for an average joe, more of a showcase of where we're at with the technology.
@Daniel Vipin That's hoping the computer accepts it as a legit charging source. Coming from a generator, the voltage will be very "dirty". The generator would need to be large enough to handle continuous load from charging it. It would need quite a lot of Gasoline to power it and a substantial wait-time to charge it, but it would be better than nothing. I suggested that in another vid a while back and the response was as if I was killin' kittens. {0.o} 😆😂🤣
@@kdxkyle What I want is simple. I want people to start using their heads and not get themselves into serious trouble off-road in these wannabe ORV's, because they weren't warned by these hype vids.
If you think gasoline is going bye-bye, you're sadly mistaken. You think there's more Lithium deposits than oil deposits?? At least 2 of the largest Lithium mines in Australia have already been depleted by the Chinese Mining companies leasing them. Since the electronics industry makes lots more money per ton of Lithium needed to power phones and other devices, if more Lithium mines become depleted there will be a ban worldwide on all EV manufacturers from using Lithium cells. Then what are ya gonna do?
The opening sequence was amazing
Funny. Just a few days ago I was wondering how kids playing in the street or me walking through a parking lot would hear an EV approaching. Hey, 20 points for the gov't passing a useful law. 🔌🚙
Unless you’re driving below 10mph it’s not a problem because tires still make a noise. You probably live in the US since it’s a concern of you. But in EU you also have to look out for people on bikes which make no sound at all. And can travel quite fast
That's why i have a loud exhaust on my car. Safety first.
I would love to see a side by side comparison with your DIY HummerEV on the trails.
Nice review. It would be difficult with a digital rear view to keep an eye on kids in back seats.
Not spending much more time charging than filling up, but only getting 1/3rd of the range of a small SUV (like a Honda Pilot), or 1/4 the range of something like a Suburban. When you compare time to recharge/refuel with obtained range - EV still takes much longer to achieve a full range charge than an gas engine vehicle. Additionally, if you run out of gas, you can return to your vehicle with a gas can to extend your range to a pump - where an EV must be towed.....or be attached to a generator (hahahahaha).
I like your videos - don't get me wrong. EV is a luxury toy for people who have the time to play with them. I'm planning on building one myself, a hybrid actually, with a focus on efficiency at the expense of every possible comfort.
It's really annoying that cybertruck is this much late. Hummer announced 1 year back now it's on road
Wow sure isn't like Tesla to over promise and under deliver...
Hummev announced in 2020 actually. And if you looked at official gm numbers they only planned to build about 10k this year in total.
Q1s gone and they delivered what a dozen of em? Yeah 200+kwh pack's are hard to source these days. 😀
@@MozisK Yes, its still annoying...
I don't think the hummer is made with any form of prvit. Just like the Rivian. And when Ford starts they will have the same problem. When Tesla delivers the first truck it WILL make profit. That takes time. More than Elon likes to.
Apartheid son was betting that Mango Mussolini would be still be in office to waive safety regulations, Cybertruck going to be look different than shown to be compliant.
WOW great camera work and LUT.
Thanks!
Honest question, i am far from an expert: Isn't the heavy weight a huge obstacle when it comes to offroading? Especially in loose sand and wet soil? I remember that in Matt's Offroad Recovery channel, usually lighter vehicles are used to rescue heavier ones? If you want to make an environment friendly offroad vehicle, wouldn't a plugin-hybrid with a small battery make more sense? Or are there more factors in play here that i do not know?
Yes weight is a major factor in offroad capabilities. Generally the lighter the better.
@@moabman6803 if this gets stuck, it's staying there :P
@@AKAtheA At least it's unlikely to float away during a water crossing. Although with that much electrical current, if it leaks it will kill all fish within 50 yards haha.

Firstly, most of these Hummers will never go off-road.
Secondly, GMC build cars using the cheapest materials they can get away with and cheap normally equals heavy.
Finally, these Hummers will have the build quality of a takeaway container.
no one:
Zack: takes a literal 4 and a half ton electric truck off-roading in somewhat wet conditions
Smh shutup
All this is nice but, does it scratch at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7?
😂
"Cactuses" gets the job done, but the correct form for plural is "cacti"
I'm not a car guy, but this makes me excited for the future.
@Carl Gunderson compared to a bicycle? Do ICE cars run on unicorn farts?
It's about time more cars/trucks have 4 wheel steering. I loved it on my Honda Accord back in 1990.
He Zack, this hummer may be cool, but we want to see the cooler one. You know what I mean😁
Well played😂 but I am interested too
I agree, about the rear view digital mirror. The only way to fix it, is with head/eye tracking & a cropped image.
Hope laws and regulations in EU (and Norway where I live) can adjust to more and more EV becoming heavier than normal cars.
As it is at current state, one need a special drivers license for vehicles above 3.500kg (7.700 lbs). Basically one have to register them as a lorry or semi, and be limited to two seats only.
I want to upgrade my midlife crisis from a Dodge RAM to a EV Hummer! :D
Silly. Buy a Rivian or a Ford F150 if you have to. This thing is just silly.
There is no limited on seats. There is many trucks with 4 or more seats.
@@wolfgangpreier9160 it's his choice if he likes it. Than let him buy it.
@@orangecookie3132 No one is saying that he couldn't buy it. We're allowed to make silly choices if we want! Lol

This video is so compelling, I'm questioning whether I should close my short position in GM.
If they are keeping that price tag,people will just buy gasoline powered trucks.
Doing that they would be buying a REAL TRUCK... much better than a tree hugging truck
Great review!
I would love to see you become the go to guy for electric vehicle reviews!
I can still see Rivian and Ford doing better, but I also see where the Hummer EV can fit in. I'm wondering with the newer battery packs coming to market and Dodge, Toyota and other car manufacturers what will be created/added. Hopefully at a nice price as well.
If there were ever a real life version of the warthog from halo put into production , this would be it. Excellent video, brother!
But the model s plaid and model x plaid have 1020hp. Wouldn’t they be the most powerful?!
not by sheer power, id like to see the s or x tow 7000 pounds, or go offroading 😂😂
@@lukelegg9915 there is power and torque. They have actually a very similar amount of torque and power, but the Teslas have more power and the hummers have more torque. I’ve never heard anyone say that power is defined by torque so it would be defined by horsepower
@@JG-oc9gc thing is, model s has only 20 more hp, and weighs just under 5k pounds, 0-60 in 2 seconds
whereas the hummer has 20 less hp, and more torque, weighs just shy of 10k pounds, and can still do 0-60 in 3 seconds, so tell me which one is more powerful
@@JG-oc9gc power is an all encompassing term. It has other meanings.
"That was a powerful speech."
"That is a powerful computer."
The Hummer is far more powerful than a Tesla, all things considered.
@@lukelegg9915 people usually define power as horsepower. Not torque, towing capacity, or anything else.
Placing those ominous clouds in the video is a nice touch.
Those digital mirrors are all bad. With a normal mirror you still have 3d visions as your eyes get slightly different pictures. With a screen both your eyes get the exact same picture so no 3d vision. So its just not doing the job of a mirror.
I am a fan of the Rivian style truck, although I don't think it's the future because I don't know the future, there could be hydrogen powered vehicles or other modes of powering vehicles, but for right now in 2022, I think my preference still lies in an engine, I just like the sound and the roar of the engine, but if I could afford to, I would definitely test my preference and go for the Rivian Truck. Great Video by the way, I ve been watching since 2 million subs.
This was obviously I paid advertisement by hummer, but I would like to see how off-roading affects electric trucks. Other tests I've seen with just electric vehicles has killed batteries pretty fast and I wonder if these new electric trucks are the same?
A 5 ton? What for? Think Matt from Matts Recovery can get him out if he gets stuck or breaks a axle? Or Casey?
'Obviously' a paid ad? Zac's reviews are normally positive and honest, which is how I believe this was also.
@@brettdonovan i age that he is very honest about things and that's why I subscribe. I say obviously because this is a preplanned route in a convoy of other people testing the same vehicle. Had they loaned it out to him to do his own testing I would feel differently.

Car: warning about a nearby tree.
Zack: Interesting......
you have to make over $300k per year to afford this vehicle comfortably. most people will go for a real truck like the Ford Lightning or Rivian or even a Cybertruck. these are just for fun, not really practical esp at 9k pound weight. not going to be a regularly sold vehicle. shoot even the gasoline hummers were a tragedy because of the size alone(notice how you don't see any of them on the road anymore?). a rich persons impractical vehicle lololololzzzzzz
A ford lightning equipped like this is going to be over $90k and thats just the estimate right now. Final total price isn't expected until deliveries start so the price will probably be higher. The Rivian optioned like the Hummer is also $90k but can be more if you move up to the largest battery. Fact is, neither of those trucks offer the same options the Hummer offer nor do they offer the same power. To some the $20k extra will be well worth it for, for others the other EV truck options will be better choices.
The maverick is the most affordable option for me.
My wife and I watch your videos together so I don't even need to share the video with her 😁
I make those rear view mirrors for a living, it broke my heart to hear that you didn't like the digital aspect of it. Much respect though, haven't really seen them in action in a car myself!
This behemoth is absolutely on the wishlist to see in person... But for now the JRE Content will do just fine 👌
They nailed it this time, that’s all you need from Hammer n EV 👍👍👍
You are blessed to have all these opportunities.
Am very sure Jerry will be buying this truck in few weeks
I ALWAYS watch the entire AD for you, brother. Seriously
I don’t say this often I’m jealous that I wasn’t invited by GM but thank you for making this awesome video looks like a lot of fun
Please Missy do a remake of Can't stand the rain with this Hummer. When it started raining I was like Yyyyeeeah It's my window...😆 Nice vid guys.
I have dissed electric vehicles for a long time but with your military humvee conversion and now this you have effectively changed my views on electric vehicles
So that digital rearview mirror... if you flip the tab, it turns into a regular mirror ;)
The camera quality looks Sooo Good!!!
This car is a tank...thanks Zack for the amazing content!

Jerry: You do realize who you invited right? Scratches at level 3 deeper grooves at level 4...
I'm loving the PureMichigan license plate😊
Not Zack saying "the wind blowing through our hair" 🤣
I'm still waiting for the cybertruck!
I'm just messing with you now because I love your content, I love Dan, and I love electric vehicles. Having said that, are those buttons in the Hummer EV you are testing "tactical" as you mentioned or are they really "tactile" buttons? Don't ever change.
