That... actually makes perfect sense 😅😂

Went to France in College for a WWII course, we went to the Beaches and followed them back to Paris. We stopped by a museum (this was in 2013?) and it was a Living History Museum, they had a ton of De-milled weapons and equipment to play around with, but they had working Half-Tracks, Jeeps, Deuce and a Half trucks, and others, and so they asked us if anyone could drive a Manual. I said yes I can, cause I learned how to drive on one, and they were like hey you want to drive a jeep? I was like you sure? and they responded similarly, "this was designed for dumb-ass 18-year olds like yourselves, you're not gonna damage it" lmao

That hit home 🤣

Haha. So true. I was 19 when we deployed and they stuck my ass behind the wheel of humvees and mraps despite me only having like 6 months of driving experience.

EVs are awesome now, and becoming better and better quickly. People who hate EVs just because it is an EV have some type of cognitive dissonance, and are stuck with what they were like back when Smart Phones were a thing. The batteries are getting lighter, holding more charge, charging faster, last longer, and cheaper. Honestly the only thing that will be holding them back is charging stations. Yet if you own a home? Investing in some renewable, plus an electric car is just one of the best things you can do. Unless you're one of those people who apparently need to drive hundreds of miles without stopping all the time.

Probably can't turn off traction control on the iHummer.. or hidden in a lot of settings or something

@@vaska916 You'd think they'd put it somewhere close to the WTF setting. If you use that you're probably interested in turing off traction control at least some times. At first I thought it would be default off when enabling WTF, but then I realized that the setting is most used to demonstrate incredible acceleration, not to do donuts. So keeping traction control on makes sense. But somewhere close in the menus there has to be a donut option...

That's amazing! Thank you for sharing!

@@blahorgaslisk7763 I too suspect that WTF mode was limiting the performance in the tug of war. It wanted zero-slip for the launch, probably refused to spin the wheels because of it. If it has a tow mode that would be a better candidate.

@@livewire2534 I think you're right. The fact that it wouldn't turn the tires at all is obvious evidence. Pretty sure the EV would demolish the H1 given a proper surface and it not refusing to even spin its own tires. I find it odd though that they start the clip with the rope slack and then cut to it under full tension. Makes me think the EV demolished the H1 but they didn't want to show that because most people who watch this channel are huge ICE fans.

Was just about to comment this exact thing HAHA

Yeah people forget that. Gearbox will make all the torque you want.

@@failranch9542 It would really end up a battle of grip. The amount of torque you can put down is limited by the surface, the wheels, and the weight of the vehicle. And here being heavy really helps! So in this case it's likely the heavier vehicle would win. Well airing down the wheels would also help, and I'm pretty sure the H1 retained that function from it's military predecessor. I have no idea about the electric version though.

​@@blahorgaslisk7763about EV it already has a traction control to not brake the ev motors. Thats why most ev cars launch almost instantaneously with barely tyre smoke and reach high speeds in turns, adding the acceleration

@@matthewmondragon2074 Yes and if you want to play you will want the option to turn all of that off. You want to smoke the tires and do doughnuts! And it could possibly help when they tried the tug of war. But you are perfectly correct that you want the traction control turned on during normal use. In fact early electrical cars were known to "eat" tires as they had so much torque they tended to always break loose when starting. So traction control is more or less needed or they become very expensive to drive, especially modern versions with several hundred HP at the wheels.

​@@blahorgaslisk7763the ev is heavier than the h1. It's 1100tq numbers are straight bs or flawed

Your trucks had keys? Haha

Military hummers didn't have door locks. Or at least none I ever drove. The only thing they had was a cable secured to the floor on one end with a loop on the free end, and "locking" the hummer meant looping the cable through the steering wheel and using an ordinary padlock to secure it.

There’s still going to be maintenance, there’s still cooling liquid for the batteries, you still have suspension, you’ll just be working on an electric motor or some technological component rather than changing a mechanical part.

Albeit one that handles very badly and has questionable braking…

@@james2042 I get what you’re saying but the electric hummer in this video actually seems to do pretty good at both of those things lol

@SquiDragon the hummer ev has okay handling because of 4 wheel steer and has awful braking per actual brake test that are very reminiscent of the H1.

My lb7 gets way better fuel milage than my l5p especially when towing or in cold weather because of the dpf system and an lb7 can make around 500hp/1000tq with just a tune

@@theupscriber65 Most H1 owners do. The engine and transmission are out of a Chevy Silverado 2500. The differentials are based on the old AMC 20. The transfer case is related to one used by Jeep. The gauges and switches are commercial truck parts. The only specialized parts are the axles and portals but there is no shortage of Humvee parts. They're not much more complicated than a Silverado and they're only bought by enthusiasts at this point.

Exactly 👍

I'd like to see a 500 mile race. My guess is ev will take a few days while diesel does it in less than 12 hrs.

Practicality rarely loses its luster and few things inspire confidence like three knob HVAC and rocker switches in panels that can be unscrewed and serviced often without leaving the driver seat.

As a dude who dailies a '94 K1500, theres not much out of newer cars that I really want. More power would be nice, but that's about it.

legit

yeee

They're lucky EV didn't blow up.

Although a funny statement, it is not really true. The original hummer would die too. Its engine has computers.

I have, according to a lot of people, questionable taste in design, but to me the H1 was the only "real" Hummer. The H2 and H3 were just glorified trucks. They lacked the brutal look and feel of the H1 which was what Hummer was all about. If I wanted a truck or general offroad vehicle there were a lot of options that weren't Hummer. The big mistake there was to think that their potential customers wanted a conventional truck. What made the customers pay for a Hummer was the military heritage. Without that they were not anywhere near as interesting. Certainly not interesting enough for people to pay a huge premium for the name.

@@blahorgaslisk7763 ya the difference between the H1 and H2 was basically One was a Hummer. And the other was a joke lol. That got horrible gas mileage. But made you look hella cool back in the day lol.

what definith a hummer? if not for its absurdness, massivity, and thirsty nature, a hummer it would not be. all jokes aside, thats why the hummer ev is a "real hummer. the hummer stopped being a military vehicles since the h2, the whole purpose of it was based on its name, its size, and its absurdness and i think the hummer ev is more of a hummer than any hummer made before it, besides the original military hummer, and the maybe original street legal hummer. it fits every qualification for a hummer. its bigger than any hummer before it, its more powerful than any hummer before it, and its more insane and wild than any hummer made before it.
