Hummer is at the dealer. GM Tech is supposed to be installing the hard tonneau cover today. Sounds like GM wants to make a big deal out of my actual delivery, having reps from different areas of GM there to answer any questions I might have. I Expect to take delivery on Saturday or Monday.

If anyone from Rivian reads this, that is in a position to push me to the top of the R1T deliveries list, in trade for access to my Hummer for a period of time, DM me, willing to sign an agreement and an NDA.

Nice - don't listen to the bitter members. This is an exciting delivery of the most anticipated GM vehicles in a long time. I hope you have a great experience and really I hope you like the car. It seems like it has a lot of very cool new tech and should be a fun adventure.

Hum…my money is on Rivian. When you look at GM’s financials, long history of siloed culture, union’s to deal with, my guess is GM will be out of cash within 3-4 years, bankrupt before 2030, maybe 2027. Rivian is still high risk, but has enough money to fund the next 4 years and from employees that I have met thus far, Rivian will outwork and out innovate GM and most likely Ford. Ford has a slightly better chance than GM. So as to the Hummer EV, it may well be a collectible as the most inefficient EV ever produced.

It's because I have a really REALLY small penis.

Right now I fully intend on getting rid of the Hummer whenever my Rivian comes in. I don't think GM is going to end up bankrupt again at all, but I'd prefer more of a mid-sized truck than one of the biggest on the road. I own more stock in Rivian than I do in GM.

Either way, it's a cool vehicle, if not the most practical. I see a lot of shade thrown at the Hummer for being "impractical". So is a Corvette, but people seem to like those, too.

Go take it on some trips and off some roads, I'm curious to see how it handles as a daily. I'm still tempted by the idea of their SUV variant.

Congrats on the EV-Hummer. Report your impressions in a forum-friendly manner.

Oh, of the hummer, not a physical impression of something else mentioned earlier.

I will. I also intend on trying to get a ~0-80% DCFC session in this weekend if I'm able. I've got an MDI2 and a GDS2 subscription, so I should be able to get a whole lot of data right out of the vehicle on the charge session. I just haven't used it that way so I'll have to mess with it for a while.

I look forward to you sharing the experience. Congrats!

Shockingly, you can fit a lot of stuff in a Corvette. As far as sports cars go, it may be one of the more practical ones out there.

Yea, but somehow, you still got a hummer.

Makes it easier ?‍

So. Just noticed this, but it has a towing capacity of 7500 lbs, and a payload of 1,300 lbs? what exactly do you get for the size other than being obnoxious and having trouble fitting places?

Congrats @Dark-Fx ... exciting!

At least someone here is taking delivery of a new vehicle...

Over on the Hummer Chat forum, 12 people have already taken delivery ahead of him.

What's the number on this forum? Two I believe.

Enjoy the Hummer. I hope to read if you think it drives as big as it looks.

And I have to admit, although unpopular, if I could find a way to shorten my Rivian wait time, I probably would also.

So interesting thing I noticed going through parts of the Hummer Service Manual. There's a few content changes that say "built before April 22 2022/built after". Kinda puts a hole in that guy's argument about "just ship the trucks and don't make changes". meh.
