launch of the GMC Hummer EV pickup truck tonight

apparently nowadays launch means showing off 3d printed mockups to journalists and youtubers. Even the "trailer" has disclaimer about being full CGI.

available Fall 2022

For what it's worth, there's a first edition available next year.

I can't imagine this is going to sell well, and I'd be amazed if they make a profit.

But it looks like a beast, and I think Arnie driving around in an electric Hummer with a cigar in his mouth will serve the same purpose for a different crowd as the Roadster did way back when.

Plus of course Rivian and the Cybertruck, although I think they'll probably each hit different sweet spots with a lot of overlap.

I saw a "review" of the new Ford Bronco by a youtube car channel ... it had no engine and thus could not be road tested :(.

This is a big vehicle - can't it store larger batteries and get greater range? I feel like 350 miles in ideal condition is not what I want in a truck that may be taken offroad to remote areas.

I would imagine this is mostly going to be a status vehicle. That said low center of gravity, plausibly submersible drivetrain, four wheel steering, bagged suspension and four independent drive motors are going to make it extremely capable off-road vs just about any other truck on the market.

Misleading title. 350-mile versions starts at $112000 and available in Fall-21. $80k version is 250mile and is available from Spring-24.
