Seattle School district a few years ago paid 3 men millions of dollars to come out of retirement to help get their data off a custom Cobol based scheduling system and onto a modern school scheduling system. Was crazy as they also just last year decommissioned their attendance system which was based on Digitals VMS system which I admit to having worked on. NERDS Rule!!!

Avoid Opera and Epic, seems to have way too much advertisements to help pay for their development. Safari is as far as I know a Mac only browser now. I agree with Robert, I use on both home and work systems the latest MSFT Edge browser, works way better than Firefox and chrome even though it is a chrome based browser.

Congrats Drew, Looking forward to pictures of your new baby for you two.

My Edge browser is saying we are secure.

In regard to me thinking positive that they will start in the $50K range, Gotta be positive on all new tech. Chevrolet version will probably be there since clearly Hummer is the Cadillac version of the trucks. Clarify? Ya mean how we can now do a 350V fast charge something that did not exist 100 years ago. Faster charging will come as battery tech continues to make jumps. I can also see just like ICE with a Jeep Wrangler having a couple of 5 gallon tanks full of petro. I can see replaceable battery packs eventually that are solid state you would have fully charged when you go off road to swap out to keep on wheeling, use, etc.

Electrified yes, but the battery tech with charging is only recent, not 100 years old. Yes we could go even older with supposed batteries found in Egypt. Yes Batteries have been around a long time too, human intelligence took time to grow to the point where we are now making huge gains in tech that will change our world for the better I believe. Yes your right, I was clearly looking at the Hummer EV3X that is 800 HP, 3 motors, etc.

Cannot live in the past prices though, everything has gotten more expensive as incomes have gone up. As such, prices will come down but after years of R&D on technology for this Hummer EV. They are doing a natural Business case of building the luxury rich persons version first and then we will see lower priced versions. I expect the Chevrolet Full Size EV truck that is also coming to be much cheaper and RWD as well as AWD to be in the price range most people expect.

I think the Mini, Fiat and Smart failed as it did not give what people were really wanting. A micro sized Pickup hauls two people and a 6 ft bed would give them what they want. People want trucks and suvs in all sizes right now. @balthazar @riviera74 @A Horse With No Name @Robert Hall @ykX Guess everyone underestimated GM hitting a home run as in the first 10 minutes, the first year of Hummer EV pickup for 2021, the 2022 model year has sold out. You can get a reservation for 2023 model year. https://www.motortrend.com/news/2022-gmc-hummer-ev-truck-edition1-sold-out/ https://insideevs.com/news/450119/gmc-hummer-ev-edition-1-sold-out/ https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/gmc-hummer-ev-sold-out https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/gmc-hummer-ev-sold-out-reservations-edition-1-production/

RIP to a nice little Hummer! As expected the Marauder does take some damage but survived the same explosion since it is military grade for IEDs. I am expecting the BOLT to drop in price for generation 2 as they bring out the Bolt Extended length to replace the current price point on the same platform.

I can also see them building a Micro Pickup EV for inner city use. I know way too many people that love living in the inner city, have little yards / gardens and want a mini or micro pickup for their home depot runs, etc. I can see a valid market for such a truck.

Mine is a White and Blue background that it changed too. Nice change.

They are following a normal high end to medium level auto's to help recover initial R&D. Hummer Edition 1 is the Denali of the Trucks / SUVs. They do have lower end versions. Totally agree, should be an interesting project. But I do worry about his Cheap as possible approach. Yet we now have Ford, Chevrolet, as well as other OEMs and startups that all say they will have low end starter EV's by 2025 which makes the 2035 mandate of no new ICE sales possible. If GM gets their entry level EVs all worked out and finally get the last of the safety requirements done to bring in Micro, sub compact and compact EVs into the market, that will also be a big game changer.

Fresh

GM already does that in China with a 5K cost EV that is the number 1 seller there. We will get them, just to cover initial R&D, they are doing what all companies do, come out on top with a high end model first. Home Theater, TV's, Stereo's, Furniture, appliances, etc. all come out with high end products catered to the rich and then we get the tech pushed down as economy of scale builds up. They sold 15,000 in the first 20 days and sales have just gone up from there replacing VW with the #1 selling auto. https://gulfnews.com/auto/news/teslas-nemesis-in-china-is-a-tiny-5000-ev-from-gm-1.1601218899408 https://www.autoblog.com/2020/09/26/gm-china-electric-micro-car-wuling-mini-ev/ https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/gm-sells-15-000-low-cost-evs-for-china-in-first-20-days/ar-BB18mr3I https://jalopnik.com/gm-is-selling-more-evs-than-tesla-in-china-1844982463

Hummer EV is a GMC answer to the Ford Raptor! Another good review of the new Hummer EV.

Great detail review of the Hummer EV.

Sparkling

Dream

I will say that GMC has done allot of awesome work on this EV Pickup truck compared to the Tesla Vapor ware Cyber truck.

Have to say I am excited by the GMC Hummer EV. The reveal was what I would call a 6min commercial. I will say that they at least made sure to have a Hummer version of the GMC Multi-Function tailgate. Starting price for the AWD Hummer Edition 1 is $112,595 Reservation fee of $100.00 GMC-HUMMER-EV-Reveal.mp4 More details are all available on the GMC Web site here: https://www.gmc.com/electric-truck/hummer-ev https://media.gmc.com/media/us/en/gmc/hummer-ev.html 3 Motor Edition 1 will start at $112,595.00 Yes not for those that are in the 30 to 40K range, but not crazy like Bollinger with less tech starting at $125,000 which is crazy.

30 Minutes till the GMC Hummer EV reveal!

For those that want to see the Reveal of the Hummer EV SUT by GMC you can watch it here:

Seems GM is willing to let software companies battle for their right to build the ultimate auto interface versus current GM interface that is across all four brands. As such, GM has NOT currently stated who will build the next generation interface / HUD for Buick or Chevrolet, but they have committed to two companies. Cadillac will have their all new interface, Retina Quality based AR interface with HUD from Envisics https://envisics.com/ https://www.digitaltrends.com/features/envisics-ar-windshield-technology/ https://electrek.co/2020/10/19/gm-cadillac-lyriq-electric-suv-crazy-head-up-display/ GMC will have their new auto interface / HUD built by Epic Games using the unreal engine. https://fossbytes.com/epic-games-to-develop-ui-ux-of-electric-hummer-using-unreal-engine/ https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/gmc-hummer-ev-will-use-fortnites-gaming-platform-epics-unreal-engine/ https://www.cnbc.com/2020/10/20/gms-official-run-for-tesla-starts-with-its-electric-hummer-debut-tuesday-night-.html https://www.bgr.in/gaming/hummer-ev-to-run-on-fortnites-unreal-engine-reveals-epic-games-918745/ https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/gmc-hummer-ev-will-use-fortnites-gaming-platform-epics-unreal-engine/
