3x range is listed as 381 though. Does this mean the 3x would use the power more efficiently than a 2x by distributing the power to 3 motors instead of 2??
My 3800 pound 2018 Tesla Model 3 probably gets appox 3 miles/KWH at 70MPH, so for a 9000 pound not very aerodynamic vehicle 1.4 miles/KWH is fairly impressive. Next time you might want to mirror your range test with your 2019 Model 3. Great video thanks!

@@tdpiersonavoca I don’t see why they would only be limited to the new L3 chargers but fair enough. I’ve learned as an EV and petrol household for the last half decade to use them based on their strengths. And for roadtrips, petrol is just a lot better, even with the supercharger network. I’m hoping for a major battery technology breakthrough, we need one for BEV’s to achieve their potential.
I still cant get past this vehicle weighing over 9000 pounds. And can do 0-60 in around 3.5 seconds. Like WTF. This is one of the vehicles you see and just pray they dont hit you.
I think they’re very nice looking. Not super practical for a daily but if you have a big family and need to tow a boat or trailer this should be nice for that
LOL @ no spare tire. What will you do if you get a flat ? This is not a normal driving condition, unless you never change tires, and always call for help. Why don't you take the bumpers off as well, I mean, you don't REALLY need them, unless something happens... It really makes sense to drive the car as it comes from the factory. Many new cars DON'T have a spare out the dealership, and if that is the case, then NP, but I would normally drive with a spare, it just makes logical sense.
So, about 310 miles at 70 mph? If it can't maintain 70 mph, then the 70 mph range test is done... also, if cruise control shuts off at 5%, then my goal would be to never go below 5%... so when cruise shut off you were at 307 miles, so real world you have an effective 70 mph range of 305 miles.
I’ve got a question I was in the market for the Hummer EV I see they’re still doing reviews on the vehicle but I also know there’s a recall your honest opinion is it worth the risk of buying the vehicle.
Now do a range test over I70 to Grand Junction in 20 degee weather. You know, not on basically flat roads in cool but not cold weather. Pretty sure it won't make it there.
Why? To prove that EV's aren't for everyone? K... so now what... Duallys aren't for everyone, they make and sell them. Miatas aren't for everyone, they make and sell them. Poor guy...has to deal with someone else driving a vehicle that doesn't work for him, so it's bad. I actually feel bad for the anti EV crowd, they are worse than the anti ICE crowd.

Looks like for every 100 miles of highway driving, you need 1 hour of charging. So on a long distance trip, drive for 2 hours the charge for 2 hours. Unless, you have to wait in line to charge. Would hate to be 18th in line. The vehicle and batteries are new. Your performance will only go down from here. Batteries don't last forever and degrade slowly at first, then more rapidly ten years from now. Will cost a fortune to replace those batteries. This is no way a cost effective and practical vehicle. Just a rich mans toy.
Isn’t the upcoming Sierra ATV4 EV the best of both worlds? Off road prowess, more range, onboard power? Gotta be $20K less? Tough waiting for all of this PR to be attainable. The longer people wait, the better other options get. Hybrid trucks still the best. 700 mi range, onboard power…. Eventually EV trucks will be 600 mi range and 10 mins charge time
I don't need 600 Kilometers range, what should i do 12 hours on the road without pause? I could nearly reach Castle bran from Vlad the Impaler. Rome is a bit outside of the scope @ 1035 km. What about Berlin? Too short. Warszawa? Too short. Now i know, one trip to the Casinos in Monaco! Hilarious, 600 miles. You are CRAZY!!!
Gm is likely selling the hummer as a break even or total loss as a halo car. I’m sure they’ll eventually raise prices or have some economies of scale to make it profitable. It’s likely just a test model. No one can actually buy them atm.

What's really funny is the H2 gas guzzler was purchased by people on 1099 as a commercial vehicle and got tax credit because of its weight. The H2 is one reason the GM EV was killed off.
Top Speed is 105MPH. Which is incredibly low, even for such a large vehicle. I mean at least make it 120MPH so that your highway cruising speed of 80-85MPH isn't nearly maxing out your over priced EUV. I heard the top speed is set so low because of the tremendous 9,000 lbs. weight and limiting the speed to prevent tire blow out. So perhaps with better tire compound that can increase? I am sure it has the capability to go faster. Just a matter of software update or a hack.
Most vehicles have a speed governor set to whatever the factory tires speed ratings are. Off road and/or truck tires typically don't have high speed ratings. Most trucks I have driven have all had governors that limit top speed somewhere around 85-95 MPH depending on tires. My Duramax (Silverado 2500) governor was factory set at 95MPH and my Chevy Kodiak 5500 was factory set to 85 MPH. My Jeep Grand Cherokee (5.7L Hemi V8) was limited to 106 MPH if I recall.
