3 second 0-60 at 9000 pounds is absolutely insane this thing is a weapon of mass destruction

This car is a massive feat of engineering and could be absolutely terrifying in negligent hands

*In most countries in Europe you would need a CDL (licence for heavy trucks) to drive that thing since it's over 3.5 tons.*

As an European, the crab walk seems very nice for the inner city parallel parking. Especially for the small and tight spaces of the one-way streets. You'd be able to squeeze this monstrosity really nicely after you bulldoze everything behind you.

Amazing. In Germany, you would not even be allowed to drive this with a car licence - everything above 3.5 t requires a (semi)truck licence 😀

Personally, I like the style of this channel a lot. Not as high production as MKBHD but it makes it kinda feel like he is talking more directly to you and feels less scripted. Not saying I dislike the other channels style though, both are great.

The button set up under the UI is actually so nice, better feedback than touch based buttons/settings

I can see these doing well in larger cities of Texas. Majority of the full size 4 door trucks are used for commuting by one person.

I agree on the center dash buttons, these actually look like a nice fusion between digital and analog.

I wish more manufacturers would give us buttons with tactile feel for climate control, radio, etc. Much easier to use when you need to keep your eyes on the road.

This vehicle has gotten me through so many hard times, it’s been a vehicle that’s literally saved lives. I wouldn’t be able to complete tasks without it. I think all of us playing modern warfare 2 DMZ have gotten used to it!

As someone who lives full time in an RV and have been waiting for EV options, I can tell you crab walk would be AMAZING when parking an RV. Normally to make left and right adjustments you have to move both the truck and trailer forward and backwards. Crab mode seems like it would let you change the angle of the trailer without the extra back and forth motion.

My favorite part of this video is how he is throwing shade at the prospective Hummer owner the whole time LOL

in Germany you need to have a truck license for this. Everything over 3,5 tons is not considered a car. But if it barely fits in a parking spot in the US it won't in one in europe anyways. That thing is crazy. But seems like the most american EV out there :D

It’s gaudy, heavy and excessive but it perfectly captures the H1 vibes that the H2 and H3 lost. It looks durable, it looks heavy (it damn sure is), it looks like it’ll get you through a brick wall.

I picked up an Edition One Hummer this week, and as a former Tesla owner for 5yrs, I absolutely love it.

I’d love to see you do a auto-infotainment video series. Like a run down of every manufacturer’s attempt to integrate technology into their vehicles (both from a phone integration, and then overall technology usage for climate control, camera, security, display etc) - show how they compare to each other. Could break it up into each price segment, vehicle class, etc. A whole series I think would be fascinating to plan and watch. These are great btw - killing it.

Nice tour! What a huge beast of a machine. The brake regeneration paddles are great in traffic but leave a slightly sea sick feeling if you use the heavy setting.

That rear view Mirror is sick, switching the real mirror from camera was so clean

The crab-walk mode is there to enable parallel parking that E-Brodozer without crushing nearby smaller cars. Smaller cars like an F150 Lightning. Or a semi tractor. Not my jam. The buttons though! Will the rest of the automotive industry please take note of that setup! That part is awesome.

i think they totally nailed it, completely over the top like a hummer should be! 0-60 in 3,5 seconds is hilarious considering the weight

i have to admit those drive change animations are legit cool af

As a Hummer H1 & H2 owner who’s trucks live & run in the tundra of northern Canada 🇨🇦 the crab walk would come in handy when the polar bears are blocking your path👇🏼.. (yes that’s a thing) Bring it up here I’ll give that truck a good test off road ( no paved roads up here) cheers from HudsonBay area 🇨🇦

9:34 This is actually horrifying. A 9,000lb truck doing 0-60 in 3 sec? There's not much that can withstand that kind of momentum.

The Hummer EV has a moon theme, specifically an Apollo mission theme. That is why the Hummer is towing a rocket in the tow/hall mode. Its also not just any rocket, it’s the Apollo mission rocket. The heritage is that GM and Boeing collaborated to build the lunar roving vehicles for the Apollo missions. I like the theme and think it’s a cool quirk and one of many subtle touches on the Hummer EV that are references to the Apollo missions.

I love the way that you get right to the point on your videos. Nicely done!!!

The vibration through the seat is probably a safety feature knowing people are taking their hands off the wheel much to often to go on their phones. Red light, drive through... going 120km on the highway lol. Literally both hands! So I appreciate it.

5:06 The middle part of the tailgate drops to give you a lower step to get into the "BED" of the truck and allow the Kicker system to aim backwards.

"These graphics do look a bit video-game-like, and there’s one very good reason for that. The driver interface and infotainment screen in the GMC Hummer EV will run off of the Unreal Engine - a video game graphics engine that serves as the foundation for some of the most popular titles in the gaming world today. In addition to tapping the Unreal Engine, GM also hired an innovation consultancy and design firm called Perception to design the vehicle’s interface graphics. Perception, which has helped conceptualize futuristic settings and sequences for Marvel films, designed and animated the user experience and user interface for the GMC Hummer EV infotainment system and instrument cluster, giving it the high-end and graphically intensive appearance we see here."

I've had my hummer ev edition 1 for 3 months now, and I still love it!!! Most fun I've ever had in a vehicle.

Loving this throwback vlog style of the classic MKBHD years!

Crab walk is useful when you car falls (or is starting to fall) into a ditch or something. Because it is taking the entire car, sideways, out of it, rather than pushing the front and letting the rear slide. Gives you more control. To be honest, to understand the Electric Hummer, the person needs to understand the original Hummer. Some cars are what they are. It's the same as if you have kids and wonder "who would buy a miata?".

I feel like crab walk *could* be useful for parking especially with how big the car is. If you’re lined up straight with a spot but you’re a little to far left you can crab walk right while keeping the car straight on to the parking spot

You had reservations about the Hummer through the whole video and then figured it out at the end. It’s very cool and very high tech that dash is well designed. Kudos to GM they’re really knocking it out of the park!

Hummers have always been impractical. They tried making them smaller to make them practical and it ended up killing the brand

This is not an everyday vehicle; this is an "I have an obscene amount of money, and I want to show off" vehicle.

9,000 pounds is insane. I wonder what's the 60mph-0mph distance. The amount of inertia this behemoth probably has is crazy.

Personally I think you're doing great. One of the better personalities for EV reviews I've seen!

Great review & editing! Keep up the excellent work!

Physical buttons instead of only a touch screen is just so good

That infotainment system with its UI is something I hope all car manufacturers adopt for their sedans because that's just brilliant design. All the little things that would be annoying and dangerous to access while driving (fan speed) all have physical buttons/knobs/switches to control. Good stuff!

Crab mode is for parking and trailer maneuvering. Someone might use it off road but it would have marginal and niche utility compared with coordinated steering mode.

That paddle on the wheel would actually probably come in handy on steep downhill roads, given the extreme weight of this thing.

'Aspect Ratio of a truck' that was The fun take from this video for me. Also, as you've mentioned many times that this vehicle is relatively large, a couple shots where it was parked to a normal car would've been a great addition. Just my two cents. Cheers guys.

The whole "recording on an iPhone" vibe makes it feel a lot more personal, like Marques is just hanging out with us. I like it, good contrast with the other content. I'm excited to see more!

Love your channel so much! Keep up the good work!! :D

I love your EV/ automotive related content!

My Hummer now has 16,806 miles on it. We put 9k miles on it in the first 30 days traveling across the country. I've also got a friend with a Rivian, he found out the hard way how insanely costly it is to repair them compared to GM and Ford's offerings. I'm still waiting on my Lightning Platinum too. Though I think by the time we actually get it it will just be going for sale. I've never driven anything in the truck market that feels like this Hummer. It is more responsive than our Raptor, and far more capable off road in situations that would matter. My center console toggles are used for fun stuff, like R2D2 "horns" and a siren for WTF mode on private roads where it's legal. I'm only 5'7", so I don't have any clearance issues while inside the truck. Honestly, the best part about my Hummer to me, is the fact that even in -30F temperatures, the battery compartment and it's temperature controlled environment is keeping me above 300 mile ranges. We learned from experience that at -30F, the Rivian (with heat) drops to about 190 miles.

How's that for timing. Just finished your first video and you immediately upload the 2nd!

the regen paddle was on the bolt, maybe the volt also. kind of a chevy thing. pretty useful I think

Can you do an episode on everything charge cost related? -cost to charge at home using regular outlet, the GM charger, chargepoint stations -time to charge at these points. etc.

Those animations for the driving modes are honestly so cool. Also the differential locks give me hope for future off-road electric vehicles

I really like your reviews are focusing on the practical experiences of owning a car for everyday drivers. Most car reviews focus on either a basic overviews of specs/design or focus on an in-depth UX review suitiable for racetrack-style driving enthusiasts. I enjoy those reviews but I found that knowing the everyday user experience of owning a particular model is much more useful when buying a new car. I know I'm using using it to go from point A to point B most of the time so it's nice to know the minor nuisances (or improvements) that will impact my sanity everyday! Your new channel is off to great start!

Sweet. Another awesome and comprehensive video.

Marques, you should've tested it offroad, of course, dude, c'mon! You have to retest it. Load it with people and gear and go at least 200 miles to camp in the wilderness!

8:45 - Honestly, I think the seat is a better choice overall. if someone doesn't have hands on the steering wheel, the feedback won't do anything. However, someone who's not attentive will more than likely always have their butt in the seat 😅

The tailgate also has another feature that I didn’t see covered. The little cutout section also opens up for a step up into the bed.

Crab walk mode could be really useful for parallel parking if that ever became a thing with this vehicle

Tire noise is normal for any tires that prioritize traction off road. Even race tires or sports car tires can be loud.

This is actually an amazing idea. Just an iphone. Quick and dirty. It really shows Marques's skill and charasma. He makes it look natrual, fun and effortless. If I tried talking into a camera for 10 min straight I would be stuttering like I don't even know how to speak. Amazing work! Love it! (also the analogy is pretty funny, the ROG of trucks...lol)

The phone camera quality is good enough, I like it! The main issue though is the sound, it's either to lowd or too quite and it changes constantly

Thank you for the metric conversion!

I like it TBH it looks so sci fi and I really like the trunk bed cover being retractable and functional.

I will say, out of all the EV pickup designs, I like this one the most aesthetically.

I am jealous of the dash controls alone! How cool is that 😂

The Very Back Part of the "Trunk" doesnt only have a Speaker System. It´s also able to fold down for a nicer Entry or to sit on it ;)

Thanks for the numbers in the metric system!

It's mind boggling seeing the weight of these large EVs, the general EU drivers license for cars is limited at 3500 kg (7700 lbs) of gross weight, that means that most people in europe aren't even allowed to drive a Rivian or this Hummer

My Chevy Bolt has the same regen lever on the left side of the steering wheel. I think it’s a GM feature they’re sticking with. It’s so incredibly useful once you get used to it.

I'm in love with this truck. And, fun fact, the animations were actually designed with Unreal Engine, just like Fortnite and other games. So hell yeah, I'm buying one.

One thing you might consider relative to the crab mode, going back to your parking comments, it would let you scoot side to side in a parking space to help your passengers, and given presence when a parking neighbor is present also them, a little better access in turn without getting misaligned with your space.

I used to work for Chevy (and by extension, GMC) and can confirm that the seat buzzing for collision warning has been in all their trucks for a few years. Personally, I prefer it, as they have the left and right ass bolsters of the seat zoned to vibrate if something is on the left or right side of the car. Gives a lot easier indication of where something is for any split-second decisions you need to make while otherwise distracted!

At 9,000+ pounds, I'm curious how long it will be before certain offroad trails just ban these things. There have to be trails out there that are simply not able to be maintained if vehicles this heavy become more frequently used.

I had an original H1 back in the day and was fun and obnoxious in the best way possible. This is a different era can’t even imagine driving one now.

6:59 the user interface design is amazing!!

I dunno what to say man, this is my first time watching one of your videos....you're a bloody natural at captivating your viewers. Thanks for this.

I like the new format, I like what you're doing, and will continue to watch your videos. You provide a nice review of the vehicles. On this vehicle, the UI you are impressed with has a utilitarian design. Lots of folks with trucks, also keep gloves in the truck. Having the large buttons makes it easy to work with while wearing gloves. Also, I believe the reason the seat vibrates instead of the steering wheel is an improved safety feature. As an example, if a driver were falling asleep at the wheel, on a long trip, and his/her hand falls free of the steering wheel, vibrating the wheel provides no functionality. The seat, however may actually get their attention. I would also say that if bad drivers are drifting lanes, its likely because they are not holding the wheel at all. I like the seat vibrating, it makes more sense.

The F150 lightning isn’t a great option if you actually need a truck for truck tasks, but it definitely looks practical by comparison to this thing.

You couldn’t even drive this beast in Germany with your normal driving license in Germany, it called B and only allows u to drive cars up to 3500kg.

This is such an interesting car, because even though its so big and has a small potential pool of buyers, you can tell that a lot of thought went into it. Some of the features are something every single other (electric) car should have aswell, especially the dash with PHYSICAL buttons/switches! Thats seriously such a smart way of solving a big part of menu navigation and searching for the right settings, which other EVs suffer from. EDIT: I dont like big cars, I rather hate them. What the Hummer does well however is the *details*, like the mentioned dashboard or storage behind the back seats. Those are all things that id like to see on small EVs aswell.

5:07 That whole section of the tailgate also folds down and creates a step. All the higher end GM trucks have this tailgate.

I enjoy your car videos very much 😍. One thing to note, though, is the sudden movements of the camera. I realize that you are using your hands to move the camera and simultaneously want to explain and show everything to use, which I really appreciate. But I think if you try to be more mindful about it, watching Auto Focus videos is much more fun.

I ❤IT!!! The reason why vibrating the seat is better is because if you aren’t watching the road, there is a good chance you are also NOT holding the steering wheel.

Great casual walk through, love the style

As someone who drives a truck for a living I can tell you that a truck has the same kind of "extra" brake thing, so for a trucker that is an amazing feature. Saves a lot on brake pads, especially when hauling something heavy down a steep and long hill. As for the crap steering, that would be amazing when having to maneuver in tight spaces. You don't see the "need" for it because you don't have experience with driving huge trucks.

"Horrifyingly fast". 🤣🤣 Now I REALLY want one.

I could definitely see crab walking off road being useful.

The vibrating seat cushion is a feature from the Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon/Escalade. In some ways I prefer it over the vibrating steering wheel or beeping of parking sensors. And in those GM vehicles I mentioned, it vibrates a section of the cushion based on how close a side of the vehicle is getting to something at low speeds.

Marques - you make the best review videos over all - your style is impecable and your direct and honest way of explaining things ….just works!! Giant new fan from Denmark 👍😎🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰

Good show! Need to "show" this crab walk thing you spoke about.

Here in Holland you would need a truck drivers license to drive it. But the crabwalking is my favorite, just love it!

You said it right “idk if something that weighs 9k should be going that fast 💨 “ 🤣

I would turn off the vibration seats, replace the weels and tyres with 20" all terrains and enjoy this fun truck without the roof! This thing is AWESOME!

"This is the ROG phone if trucks" An analogy I never would have imagined I'd hear in my life😂

Thanks for living with it for two weeks so I don't have to, but I think I'd rather live with it now 😁😁

so hyped for the auto focus channel! the auto focus series are some of my absolute favorite vids and i love cars keep up the great work!!

LOVE Auto Focus. So good to see you chasing your interests and passions and branching out. Stoked on the low production value, one-take style. Rockin' it. Also... In a truck, you generally call that back section the "bed" - not a "trunk" ;-)

My diesel H1 Hummer is 8,300lbs with no battery. It can sit in the arctic winter for weeks and start like a charm. In an apocalypse, the H1 is KING.

I like the subtle Doug intro lol
