Will sell based on looks and name, not on mechanicals. This should go over very well with the wealthy who has to have the latest trend.
They should come out with the SUV before the pick-up. GM has it backwards.

If you think that Tesla buyers have some type of brand loyalty to Ford, Ram or Chevy, then you aren't really paying attention to what Tesla has been doing. GMC will be good competition to the Cybertruck, but writing it off at this point would be a mistake.Originally Posted by LexsCTJill
I just don’t think buyers will pay for a Tesla truck over a Ford, Ram, Chevy and in this case the GMC Hummer EV truck.

This seems pretty cool, I mean I'm not going to buy this or a Cybertruck, but it seems like it has some creative features and the distinctive Hummer look. They sold out the 1st edition so that's a good sign.
Cybertruck will sell well if as advertised, the pricing on it is incredible. You can get a dual motor AWD 300+ mile CT for the same price as a 303 mile Model Y Long Range. The 500+ mile, 2.9 sec 0-60, tri-motor CT is $10k less than the cheapest 250 mile range Hummer, and $20k less than the current base Model X.

It's about 1,000 pounds heavier than the old Hummer H1

In the 2000s, Hummer's unique breed of off-roaders summoned a dark cloud of disapproval from environmentalists because they were gas-guzzling SUVs with mammoth dimensions. GMC's born-again Hummer EV will escape the gas guzzler label by running solely on electricity, but it will be even bigger and much heavier than its predecessors.
Enthusiast site GM-Trucks reported the Hummer EV will tip the scale at 9,046 pounds (4,103 kilos if you're outside of the United States) in its quickest configuration, and a GMC spokesperson told Autoblog that figure is accurate. For context, the H1 Alpha released for 2006 (and often considered the ultimate Hummer) weighed 8,113 pounds, the H2 checked in at 6,614 pounds with the 6.2-liter V8, and the H3 was comparatively light at 4,600 pounds.
ADVERTISEMENTWhen it lands, the Hummer EV will be one of the heaviest new cars sold in the United States. Part of its plumpness can be attributed to its colossal dimensions; it measures 216.8 inches long, 86.7 inches wide, and 81.1 inches tall. In comparison, the H1 stretched 185 inches long, 87 inches wide, and about 78 inches tall. The electric powertrain also played a major role in slinging the Hummer's weight into dually pickup territory. Batteries are heavy, and the Hummer EV's Ultium pack reportedly has a capacity of over 200 kilowatt hours. It has three electric motors, too.
Note the 9,046-pound figure applies only to the sold-out Launch Edition model, which will offer 1,000 horsepower, the aforementioned 200-kilowatt battery, and the supercar-like ability to hit 60 mph from a stop in three seconds. GMC will launch cheaper, slower, and presumably considerably lighter variants of the truck in the early 2020s.
Although SUVs are often heavier than comparable trucks due to the additional sheet metal, the people-hauling Hummer should weigh less than the cargo-carrying variant. As we reported in April 2021, its output will be limited to 830 horsepower because it's 20 inches shorter than the truck, and the bigger battery pack doesn't fit in this footprint.

I believe it (the weight). Batteries are crazy heavy and this thing has a massive battery. Even our e-tron tips the scales at nearly 6,000 pounds for a mid-size 2 row utility.
Definitely won't be nimble. And won't be able to "tread lightly" for any off-road adventuring.

From previous articles they're saying 250-300 mile range depending on specification. Originally Posted by bitkahuna

In it's most powerful form we're looking at 9,000lbs, 1,000 horsepower, and 0-60 est. 3sec

Guess you could say the whole "Tread Lightly" program wont' look kindly on the 9,000 lb behemoths.
Just want to know if the moving walkway/treads at many automated car washes are able to withstand that kind of mass.
