Like the look, like the E-truck instead of gas. I suspect we might have a few more charging stations around by then - and maybe a Quick-Charge when on the road. But my question would still remain - where do the batteries store, and from what I've seen in other test designs, you lose the bed for all intents and purposes. So, how will Hummer install batteries in an area that allows storage and passengers - will be interesting to see it with that in mind ... :) :)

They are talking a skateboard battery layout so the batteries would be down low. It would be a great vehicle for the rver that takes it on short trips pulling on the weekend and then commutes to work during the week on 1/4 the fuel cost.

Looks like an FJ Cruiser with the back trimmed down. I'll be interested to see if they can bring it to market.

3 years of driving a Volt now into 5 years driving Caddy ELR. Both cars yield about 50 miles electric range with careful driving, more than enough for our daily driving now that we are retired. Consequently it is rare for the backup gas engine to run. We've had solar panels on our house over 2 years now. In effect, we charge for free. Would never go back to gas. If the carbon industry would stop spreading lies, more people would realized what a no-brainer electric vehicles have become. They bear the responsibilty why we don't have electric RVs at this point. Once Tesla's semis hit the road, it will only be a matter of time before DPs will go away. The bigger the vehicle, the greater the fuel savings. That, plus the high routine maintainence cost of DPs will doom them. The high cost of DPs will make them the low hanging fruit for displacement with gas rigs to follow as batteries continue to fall in price and increase in capacity.

Watching that referenced video, I get a kick out of certain medias making a big deal over the failure of Tesla's window when hit by the bowling ball. It broke but the bowling ball did not go through it. If you were sitting in a normal truck when that bowling ball hit, you'd be dead.

I have the tri motor Cybertruck on order that has a 14,000 lb tow rating, 6 passenger, 6 1/2 ft bed , 500 mile range, 0-60 in 2.9 sec. etc.
That does not look like competition IMHO.

The dead horse isn't dead enough and probably won't be for a long time.
So, Government Motors isn't going anywhere anytime soon. :)
Government Motors sounds better then Garbage Motors, what difference does it make what people call them as long as your happy with your purchase. What GM did to the shareholders was legalized robbery.

If Ford does go under as they have some real cash flow issues, then supply chain issues could drag down GM or others with it
