<<More than a year after its unveiling, General Motors proudly announced that it was now delivering its Hummer EV Edition 1 Pickup, a 9,000-pound (4,082 kilograms) luxury electric beast with a 1,000-horsepower motor that can go from 0 to 60 mph (96 kph) in three seconds. ...............>>
Okay maybe not. Technically they said the motor can go 0-60 in 3. 😄
Article also implies that it'll have four wheel steer capability.
<<.............While I do get that it makes business sense to create an electric vehicle for certain customer segments, debuting a luxury electric truck like this when the planet is in crisis is flabbergasting. We need to electrify everything, and fast, to tackle climate change. Although the all-electric Hummer EV Edition 1 is an (unnecessary) example of the change we need, its price tag will keep it out of reach for the majority, which is exactly the opposite of what is needed. ...........>>
Meh. I kind of disagree with this sentiment. The kind of people that buy this, will NOT buy what *you* want them to buy; a smaller, slow, efficient vehicle. If it sells, make it. Besides, nearly every feature we consider standard today, started out in luxury vehicles that weren't necessarily available to the masses. This will only serve to bring the price tag down, faster, for cheaper vehicles as the technologies in this one get "handed-down".
