My Bronco 1st Ed vs Hummer EV 1 – My thoughts

[Pablo]

I'm not sure I understand the post--I do know that with the Hummer I do not receive the Fed Tax Credit. GM and I believe Telsa have met their quota for the Fed program. As for the roads, fair point.
Hope this helps.

Park the Hummer outside, you know, just in case it thinks it's a Bolt.

I have not seen the Hummer in person but the Rivian is sweet. Forgot which channel but it smoked a Tesla S in the 1/4 mile. 800 hp, adjustable ride height... looks promising. I'll be waiting for the next generation or so before jumping in. The technology is changing so fast I couldn't imagine having a $100k+ piece of outdated technology in 2-3 years.

GM is in no way owned by China or any Chinese interests. They've had a joint venture in China (SAIC) in China since the '90s. Tons of companies do that. And nothing in that article is secret lol

FWIW I wish all American business interests would pull out of China. Partnerships, manufacturing. Everything. But until then, GM isn't doing anything suspect.

This isn't true. One thing that many car companies do with their Chinese counter parts is to not share their latest technology with them. As part of their Chinese bailout they handed over everything

Interesting, perhaps they should have revived the Hummer brand to loophole that shit.

Not gonna watch that video but both of those articles support my statements and contradict yours.

The articles were more in addition to the video and in no way support your statement

Still waiting for my EV3x and hopefully bump to EV1 but who knows. The Hummer is huge. Parking that thing in smaller lots will be a chore but I would still prefer the comfort over a Bronco as a daily.

How has @Cheshire not already commented in this thread that he's taken delivery of two Hummer taxpayer-specials, and that your build is not optimized for the platform????

I think this new hummer is great. Not only can GM soak the taxpayers for another $1.5 billion dollars in tax credits to help sell these 37% tax-bracket-mobiles, but these >9,000 lb behemoths will really help solve the crumbling infrastructure of freeways and bridges in the US. Namely, helping to destroy them.

Every American should be proud to help folks get these on the roads and also inspire the next vehicle abandonment cycle for current Tesla owners. Oh Prius, we hardly knew thee before being cast aside for the Tesla.... And now this. African battery "recycling" pits will be getting a workout!

Thanks Karen.

So, I was lucky to pick up my Bronco 1st Edition at the end of October--very pleased with it.
However, I picked up my Hummer EV1 on Friday and must say that it is a special vehicle. It is a beast that drives like a Bentley with features galore. GM did a great job! According to my onboard systems, I am getting about 350 miles per charge.
Overall, both are great options with an edge to the HEV1.
Enjoy!

I have some questions, if you have the time.

1. What is the shortest-configuration height you can drive it into a garage?
2. What is the width, including mirrors, fenders, etc.?
3. What vehicle is hiding under that car cover? I bet that's even more interesting than the 2 you featured.

I've had a res. in for a Hummer EV 3x since Oct '20. I have concerns about it - not the least being that the EV1 exceeds the GVWL of 4 tons for the road around Saratoga Lake. And it might not fit in my garage. But if you had to part ways with one of yours, which would it be?
