Can we officially call it? The Hummer EV is a 9,000lb pile of shit. And I don’t intend on letting GM forget it either.
But in fact, it’s not just GM. There have been 3 Big Three unforgivables in the past couple years. 1) Ford’s Mach E Mustang… a 4-door crossover EV mock-ery of a real Mustang. 2) The castrated EV Dodge Charger with a speaker (sorry, Fratzonic chamber… they’re words) that makes muscle car noises. 3) GMC’s off-road Hummer EV… that can’t stand up to rocks or rain.
Watch this video above, featuring the Hummer in Moab ^^^^
These are the same guys who got stuck in this Hummer EV because it was wet. And now – this man is immediately dead in his tracks in Moab. Hell – he barely gets rolling before he gets bricked lol. Seriously, the new Honda Pilot would have done better. As a Jeep owner, watching this video is equal parts satisfying… and maddening. I can’t believe this is our reality in 2023. And I can’t believe this is what car manufacturers are telling us is ‘rugged’. Equally as disheartening, I can’t believe all these yuppie tech sock-humpers are actually buying into this stuff. No wait a minute… yes I can. These are the same people who have an app for their toothbrush. Jesus. I’m honestly surprised they can still pee without their phone telling them to. In all seriousness though – the car industry is rapidly turning itself into a joke… a real bad one. They’re losing credibility. We’re going backwards.

For less than that POS there, I can get a cheap H2: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1311&_nkw=h2+hummer&_sacat=0, a Diesel conversion: https://mashmotorsinc.com/diesel-conversions/, customize it a bit, and have an infinitely more unique and useful vehicle.
I think Salty Cracker explained it best here: https://rumble.com/v1mn85k-government-motors-new-electric-hummer-takes-4-days-to-charge.html
For $70(ish)k, you can find a H2 that’s already had a Mash Motorworks Duramax/Allison swap done to it, capable of 26mpg and 400 to 750 (probably more) hp/1400tq
If you wanna save money, find a high mileage h2 with the engine and trans about to go, then send it down to Wichita, Kansas and you’ll have something more masculine and dependable than that overpriced POS.
Now, now, dont give the original Yuppies a bad name by calling the current Young Urban Professional???? Generation “Yuppies”. Maybe the “stardust” group? Personally, though, I’m happy in my new Bronco, and am too worried about running oit of battery power to make it my main vehicle.
