New E Hummer coming

[jiho]

I love the ads where they show it racing through the desert. I'd be a lot more enthused if I could believe that this multi-ton brick can exert a grand of torque long enough to race out to the desert, race around the desert, then race back home for a charge. Under what conditions can it go 300-350 miles? A school zone? What percentage of the charge goes to just moving the tonnage accounted for by the battery pack itself?

I used to think EVs would be the cat's pajamas. What am I missing? How could these brilliant corporations with such a track record of sound engineering possibly produce something as absurd as I now think this is? Am I taking things too seriously?

And of course all of this assumes an electric grid capable of supporting a grand of torque ....

When I sit down to eat a steak, I don’t want to think about how it got to my plate, I just want to enjoy. As I said, wait and see how it handles everyday use/abuse.

Do you mean like the guys that buy all the big diesel pic-ups that never tow anything ?

Yep......they are the avocado toast eating version of the lifted diesel guys.

Yeah, I see that part. What I don't see is just the basic daily driver being addressed, whether car or truck. Detroit lost the cars a long time ago, and now they want to lose the trucks, apparently.

Oops, did I just open the door to conspiracy theories? Lately you can't buy anything without getting into all kinds of corporate intrigue about who owns the brand, and you can't talk about anything on this web site without getting into politics. The latter inevitably brings a certain overwrought individual into a hyperflexed condition of axe-flinging.

Anyway, you'll probably think about the steak while recovering from quadruple bypass.

Square body with a SBC400, NV4500, NP205, D60 and AAM 11.5 out back. Backup plan is a 6.2 DD with a Banks kit when I have to start burning french fries.

That's got to be the most environmentally thing ever. Trucks burning used oil smell delicious. Good luck on a cold start up north though.

They've had electric Hummers for years. Just can't see myself buying one... 🙂

My son has that too. Lol.
