How Is This Thing Even Possible? // 2022 GMC Hummer EV First Drive

[@leemarklew2496]

Hello from England Sarah, Love the channel. I have watched a lot of past vids to catch up and noticed that you are a workaholic. Take a break and get some physical rest as well as mental rest, we will all still be here when you get back. All our love from the UK

[@trailmonstah1892]

You clearly don’t understand UA-cam. No content = no income 🤦🏻‍♂️. Why don’t you take a break from work and see what happens 🤣🤡

[@chattyrob]

Amen!

[@troy9er]

Double Amen!

[@patrickgowar2234]

I wonder if we’ll get the Hummer over here?

[@ronaldhull8057]

Holly crap, 10,000 pounds accelerates and brakes like that would be very unnerving. Can't wait for your full review in the future!

[@PerfectlyUselessComment]

It's definitely going to be strange seeing one of these absolute units take off as quick as they can.

[@richardbutton1179]

Especially unnerving to someone in a Corvette or a Porsche with them knowing that 5 ton vehicle can beat them

[@Neojhun]

​@@PerfectlyUselessComment QinetiQ & BAE are developing Series Hybrid Armored Vehicles like IFV and Self propelled Artillery. Will need to be faster than M1 Abrams and accelerate harder. Thanks to 4 Motors kicking out 1.1 Megawatts.

[@gcswift2]

It weighs 10,000lbs... But can only tow 7,500lbs. Meaning, It can't tow itself. If one of them breakdown, they'll have to get the Airforce heavy lift unit.
Is it just me, but are some companies just missing the point of EVs

[@gcswift2]

@@mezzb At least you don't have to worry about it being repossessed. Most tow trucks can't move it.

[@bahamatodd]

The point of EVs is to replace internal combustion. The Hummer gets the equivalent of 47MPGe. A similarly sized gas truck with half the power wouldn't even be half that.

[@JayLepisto]

@@creamwobbly Hummer was a dead brand. Can't wait for the SAAB version myself.

[@williamevans6522]

Electric gizmos in the tailgate will last 1 week past the warranty period.
GM and elecrical reliability go together like the Titanic and buoyancy.

[@danluther9078]

I would have said peanut butter and mayonnaise, but I get the sentiment.

[@kmonto1971]

I own a 2020 2500hd chevy, I can attest to the lack luster electrical reliability.

[@barrydraper]

Very, Very Cool 'Preview' of the new GMC Hummer EV!!! It's wayyy cooler than I had originally thought.

[@brianbrown543]

I had to watch you give it the beans twice. Once to see your reaction and a second time to see Charlie's. His involuntary laugh spoke volumes about how much acceleration that truck has.

[@quicknickdriver8510]

Great video. Charlie’s laugh when you gave it the beans was priceless! 😆

[@blondegirlsezthis8798]

There are days you wake up and Sarah gives you a total Hummer

[@canyonero2050]

Cholla cactus watch out! Once i was shooting photography in Joshua Tree Park and was wearing sandles and shorts. i was framing my shot and walked backwards right into a cholla bush. The bushs spines stuck into me from the back of my thighs, knees, calfs and feet. one of the worst experiences I've ever had. i was solo traveling in my van and had to pick all the spines out myself. Pulling the spines out caused them to get stuck in my hands and forarms as well. It was only the second time in my life i have cried as a grown adult male lol.

[@banality1234]

Ridiculous truck! Glad you brought Charlie along. A day out of the shop; awesome!

[@xstatixtribalelectronicmus2787]

I think it’s hilarious that the Hummer H2 and H3’s are known for their horrific electrical problems and when they decided to bring it back they made it all electrical😳🤪

[@shroomyesc]

Wait, they are? I thought they were known for being really crappy plastic rebadges of chevys

[@WildnFast]

They were not designed by the same people who designed the ones with electrical problems. I am sure Chevy stole peoplefrom Tesla like most other people who are doing new EV’s now.

[@liolp808]

The irony is lost on somebody!

[@Neojhun]

Contract it out to LG and pray.

[@neoanderson7]

Bravo! 👏🏻
Not disappointed by your review. Can’t wait to see a full “garage science” of it! 👍🏻
I bet Charlie had a blast. 😎

[@daveseddon5227]

14:00 in the UK - BONUS! It's still daylight and there's a Sarah video! 🙂🙃🙂🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧

[@raulbustamante8337]

Charlie is cool, I like seeing him in your channel

[@behnam3617]

Right before your video I was watching Jerry's review of this car back to back. it is very interesting to see that each video has its own distinctive characteristic, paying attention to different aspect of the car.

[@nowknown]

Kudos to ‘Gear Head Morticia’ and ‘Meth’ Lab’ for another fun watch. ‘Holding out hope for an ‘all bolster test’ reel. Regards,

[@SpaceEngineerErich]

My guess is the 3 triangles will be the flying mode. I imagine the wheels will fold down like the DeLorean. =P

[@buickboy92]

Insane doesn't even begin to describe this crazy thing; incredible that this is an EV.

[@guidedmeditation2396]

The Air suspension alone makes this vehicle special. I have been in a Tahoe with the same suspension a few times and it is amazing and I can imagine how great it would be offroad.

[@Paul_Caruana]

Sarah, I’m just lovin these EV reviews! Please keep them coming 👍👍

[@Andrew4181975]

Did that screen say it had 11,500lb of torque available , WTF ? Sarah is turning into the most Legit Auto Journalist ever because of her mechanical knowledge and just all around fun videos to watch.

[@J3rbski]

Applying this same method to other conventional gasoline-powered trucks would generate equally shocking numbers. The Chevy Silverado 3500HD's 6.6-liter turbo-diesel V-8 engine makes 910 lb-ft at the crank, but multiplying that number by its first-gear and final-drive ratios results in an insane 14,129 lb-ft, more than the Hummer's claim. Marketing people going to market.

[@Neojhun]

Chevy Spark EV was 400lb/ft at the motor shaft. NOT after gearing and going to the Front Wheels. Hummer EV is estimated to be around 380lb/ft for both rear motor and 350 lb/ft for the the front motors. Problem with multiple electric motor drive trains you can't just add them up as peaks may occure at different RPM range. Soo just over 1,000lb/ft over a massive Pht Torque band is where Hummer EV is overkill. That 6.6L Turbo Diesel V8 Silverado probably has like 800lb/ft plus torque band for like Half the RPM range of a Hummer EV. Big Peak + Long duration torque band is where it's killer.

[@douglascrawford2563]

Great video peek into this vehicle.
Your presentations are so consistently enjoyable. Simply wonderful stuff.
I'm amazed at what you accomplish.

[@opiealvin]

Cried laughing when Sarah pointed out her sweat on the seat. Great timing out of nowhere. Haha

[@vehcor]

I'll be waiting for a wrecked one.

[@Oh_that_guy]

My two favourite UA-cam channels collide. Can’t wait to see you re-build one of these. I’m guessing Scott’s used part imperium might not have all the necessary pierces. Lol. Have a great day from Nova Scotia

[@vehcor]

@@Oh_that_guy The best of both worlds, Sarah cleans EVERYTHING and I clean NOTHING! 😂

[@Oh_that_guy]

@@vehcor I’m just a DIY’er of small things. But I have to confess I clean things too. But not to the extent Sarah does. But, that said it never bothers me when you don’t. If it got that dirty before guessing it will again in a day or two. Hopefully a new vid tomorrow so I can be bored.

[@rsprockets7846]

@@vehcor even the carpeted fender liners on GM vehicles?

[@meganwinters5163]

Just be cautious manufacturers are getting sneaky with permanent software discounts on battery packs once it's been in even slight fender benders... Ask me how I know... Thanks BMW for that feature on the i3 😑. Otherwise can't wait to see your rebuild 🤩👍

[@TyphoonJetPilotMeteb]

For first time I watch your video in hour 1 after posting 🤞🏻Thx 4 review

I hope you two had a blast! Excellent vid!

[@mikeklein4949]

Thank you for being authentic, being beautiful, being entertaining, being informative.

[@tonygiraldes7848]

Always a pleasure to see how you will keep your channel moving up and onwards 😊 just the greatest 😊❤️

[@1speedbrian]

Hatches on boats have been made of Lexan for a long time now and their lenses seam to hold up for 30+ years easily. They usually fail due to the sealants and gaskets that hold the lens in place. Seams like a great way to build lighter roof panels for a vehicle if impact protection isn't a big concern.

[@jrssae]

So glad you got to do this! Loving the EV reviews, or first impressions in this case

[@robbymacklin]

Am I the only one that feels like many of these new trucks look familiar? I think they studied the FJ Cruiser. I pulled up next to a Bronco the other day and it looked a lot like my FJ. Now this truck. Don't get me wrong, I think it's brilliant. Now if Toyota would join the party. That would nice. (eye roll)

[@david75523]

should have gave it the "green beans"!!!! xD

[@def1791]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@YouAreBreathing]

When I watch another UA-camr drive the Hummer EV in the Arizona desert, I knew Sarah would also drive it/review it.

[@HP-mx6jb]

MSRP of 110k. Out the door for 280k. 🤭

[@EzekielYork]

Shalom!

[@SuperWooba]

Crab walk would be fantastic for getting yourself out of a ditch lol

[@joecovey2235]

Everything about that beast is insane, from the power to the crab walk, to the weight, to the crazy acceleration, to mind bending amounts of tech. GM went all out with that Hummer, including the price at $110K, it is steep. I would love to get to experience that WTF mode, at least once.

[@bsmirnov]

3:55 It's when the truck is equipped with a rail gun this button projects the aim triangle on the windshield for you to shoot (like in Predator movies).

[@charlessanders1342]

I watched a video on this awhile back and it's as an amazing machine.

[@KCadbyRacing]

Wow, 3 seconds 0-60 in a 10K Lb truck is impressive...

[@en3rgy187]

Thanks Sarah.

[@jayscott5477]

I was behind one one day leaving my base in Tampa. I was blown away!! I want one...trade in my wrangler diesel.

[@williamhewes5941]

“It may look like a rock… but it’s poop…” hahahaha!

[@patrickgowar2234]

Love the Hummer and the reviewer even more. This is one GM product that’s really likeable

[@sprinkler66]

Charlie's yellow mirrored lens glasses so '80s Vuarnet or Bollè style are amazing

[@TeamHorneyRacing]

Can we have more brake test with Charlie please, so funny.

[@liamclarke64]

You got there first - I was going to comment that!!! :-)

[@KCadbyRacing]

His reaction to quick/strong acceleration as well 👍

[@madmike8v72]

Triangle button is for the oscillation overthruster. Nice review btw, seems hazardous though with the lurking cactus and geometric camo poop!

[@RobWhittlestone]

Renault Mégane Sport steering mode has rear wheel steering OPPOSITE to front wheel below 60 km/h for high manoeuverability and SAME DIRECTION as front wheel steering above 60 km/h (crab) for stable highway lane changing. My wife has one. Great fun. All the best, Rob in Switzerland

[@poppavein1]

For those that don't know, Cholla cactus have fishhook barbs that will easily snag you and the branch detaches. Have had to pull it out of my dog, and you have to be careful that you don't get stuck while removing them.

[@johngrimley3523]

Nice vehicle just remember the more they overthink the plumbing the easier it is to stop up the drain =)

[@bd181]

Sarah, I totally agree about the plexiglass fade. This needs solar panels for trickle charge instead. Maybe idk? Interesting though 🤔

[@archmagexiv]

Thank you Sarah!

[@MyShadowblue]

Intentional or not, the dynamic of you and Charlie had me dying. Sarah just rambling off her nuttiness and Charlie just sitting there silently, sightseeing.

[@thomasphilyaw8593]

It seem that the Charlie's found in the wild are very quite until the brakes come on. Great review

[@edmilkovitz297]

Wow quite the truck 😀

[@eefneleman9564]

The sound it makes when you give it the beans. Immediate Star Trek.

[@funstang2008]

I like the "robot pizza boxes" in the frunk

[@ethinos2719]

When I was in the Air Force, our ukes (aircraft tow vehicles) had crab walk and rear steer capabilities. While the rear steer came in handy, I can't recall a single time I needed crab walk. It's mostly pointless.

[@tasror]

Charlie enhanced braking test was epic.

[@MirrorlessFrame]

"Science, Earth, Shapes & Colors!" LMAO! OMG Ms Sarah!

[@ColeSpolaric]

Your lift would quit just looking at it 🤣🤣🤣

[@danoneill2846]

thanks

[@ahutch8832]

You’ll need a lift with a 12,000 pound capacity to pick one up.

[@WMeyer-nt9sz]

Best regards from Germany.
I like your videos very much.
My thoughts about this "tank".
Drive into the desert with an unladen weight of (4100kg) + payload (assuming 1500kg) on a 200ml trip.
And then hope that the range of 521ml is guaranteed. Even in heavy terrain.
I hope the navigation system knows all the charging options on the chosen route.
My personal opinion . . .
This is not a desert truck. This is a city mobile.
best wishes for the future
Wolfgang

[@arthurwagar6224]

Amazing truck. Thanks for sharing.

[@robcreel4257]

Great review! The way it launched I though you might give it a higher bean score. I got to drive a Tesla Model S a few years ago. It's easily the fastest car I've ever drive, even though I didn't get to drive as fast as I wanted. It wasn't mine. The crab walk feature is interesting I must say. Looking forward to when you can test it like a normal review. Take care!

[@arthurwagar6224]

Crab walk would be useful on soft ground.

[@eganfo]

I’m happy you’re getting more EVs.

[@pitboss7476]

Oh that crab walk thing is freaky cool! That will be amazing on the trail. Glad Skynet didn't get you! Only 3.9 Beans?!

So far out of all the electric trucks out there, I would love to have this one.

[@SuperDirk1965]

Why? It's ugly, not at all economical and anyone driving it looks like a moron.

That’s funny you mentioned the geo storm. That was my first car moving to America. Felt sorry for anyone that had to sit in the back of that thing.

Thanks Sarah for the partial review. I'm not a fan of owning a Hummer at all.....BUT that was a very interesting review of what's possible for electric vehicles. I didn't know such a large vehicle existed on the electric platform. Lots of vehicle and lots of torque. Thanks again. Love your channel

[@methere27]

Amazing Vehicle. They definitely gave it to the best person for reviewing it!!!!!

[@sdmarlow3926]

It feels like they made it very "high end" in order to limit the number of people that are going to buy one, rather than make something that competes directly with a truck or an off-road vehicle. A full-size SUV design, not just some cover for the truck bed, would have been better, but then, given it's weight, perhaps finding some normal street tires would have been an issue?

[@bahamatodd]

The SUV version is an actual SUV with a finished cargo area. Not just a truck with a cover. GM has over 20 EVs coming in the next few years at all price points, including under $25k.
