I wish Cactus Gray looked like that

Starting at $79k, no thank you.

I agree starting at $79k is a lot of money for a vehicle. But since I would like to wait for the Warthog, I don’t think it will be that far off when their prices are revealed. And have to consider that the Hum Ev SUV you will be saving on gas, oil changes and possibly tax savings.

I just reserved the Hummer EV SUV edition 1 that was revealed today. Just curious if anyone else reserved one as a backup option or as a second vehicle? Since I have a late reservation for the Bronco and would actually like to hold out for a Warthog, I probably won’t get it until late 2022 or 2023. The Hummer Edition 1 is supposed to be available early 2023 and looks like it may have a limited edition Moonshot Green Matte paint option. This may be a tough decision when the time comes.

at the end of the day its still a Chevy and crap

Not buying Chinese if I can help it

So that never happened. Hummer was not sold to a Chinese company. I bought my H3T in November 2009 a few days after the sale was nixed by the Feds. The deal the Obama Administration cut with GM is if GM killed the Hummer brand, the US Government would cover any and all warranty costs for GM under the Administration's Auto Recovery Act. There was a document the dealership had from the Feds that stated as such and included it as part of the vehicle sale paperwork.

Sooo the SUV isn't too awful looking, but I still love the look of the Bronco. AND the price point is getting up there. So I decided my plan of attack should be:

1) reserve a Hummer EV SUV now
2) buy $100 of crypto now
3) drive around in my BB for approx two years
4) check (1000x) value of my crypto (now two years later)
5) upgrade my BB to a Warthog with said crypto, and get my $100 back from the Hummer reservation

300 mile range estimate is under ideal conditions. Real world will likely be between 200-250 miles or lower. These will see more use on Sunset Blvd than any offroad trails. It’s a status symbol and unless you live in an area with a large and established EV charging network (I don’t), I don’t see this being a very practical purchase. However, I do foresee a ton of these being sold in southern CA.

what did they charge you to hold one? I can tell you I just went to the Ford dealership an hour ago to see the Bronco tour and they had 2 four door models and admitted they could not get their hands on a 2 door. And these guys are marketing the car.

Given I drive 4k miles a year PRE COVID, I would need to own this thing for a lifetime to breakeven on the premium paid for the EV versus cost of gas....which is why I could kind of care less about the sas mpg.

 

[Trino351c]

Nope, but I will be watching the awesome videos on YouTube where off road EV’s explode during river crossings.

 

[MN_OuterBanks]

Nope. Out of my price range and not a huge fan of gm products. My $56k daily driver is good enough.

Hard no. This infatuation with EVs is going to end badly. Key truths - inability to recycle expensive, short-lifespan batteries, huge current and growing disposal problem, limited supply of lithium, cobalt, rare earths and other key elements needed to manufacture batteries will create a mining crisis and exploding costs for said batteries, short range, inevitable tax levies that the current subsidized crop of EVs enjoy, the ban of EVs to be parked underground or in some car parks due to fire hazard to name a few.

That replacement battery you’ll need for your EV could be double the cost in a few years. Add that to depreciation and you’ve sunk a f-ton of cash into a commodity that will depreciate severely.

This fad will end. Buyer beware.
