850 hp, 11,500 pounds of torque, 35 inch tires, full lockers, and almost 16 inches of clearance in off road mode. I predict they will sell like hotcakes.

Everything in moderation, as long as there's lots of it.

I dunno, the only thing they have going against them is the fact that they can't roll coal. Is there a way to make a black, environmentally conscious gas come out of a smokestack, kind of like everyone is "canning" engine sounds these days?

You're on to something - change up those vapors people use for tobacco.  One to roll black coal.

I wonder how many will actually make it off-road or just become boulevard cruisers. Sitting there in that dusting of snow maybe toughest terrain some will ever see.

You need to recharge using a 40 year old diesel generator.

I'm assuming 1,150 lbs of torque, not 11,500...

11,500 is accurate.  Ish.

 

The way EVs quote torque numbers is silly though.

probably about as many as most late-model Land Rovers. Or late-model Jeeps, for that matter...

They don't look bad cosmetically. Really they remind me of an FJ Cruiser, except with four real doors.

as much as I think it is silly for GM to resurrect the Hummer name,  I do like the fac that these over the top trucks are EVs.  The Hummer 3 should be a smaller jeep sized vehicle.

You forgot the part where they do 0-60 in 3.5s, have a turning circle smaller than a Corolla thanks to 4 wheel steering, and cost $100k
