Ugh, was hoping this was the new charge port + all the goodies. View attachment 770690

Yeah me too tbh! Oh well, we got some new eye candy to hold us over I guess!

Nope, still old ones. You can see the large cornering light on the top of the headlight, underneath the DRl.

How is this spreading positivity?! Why would you not lie to us?!

Because I don't lie to people on here lol!

But positive lying is positivity!

Yeah but I'm not gonna smear my own reputation (however important or not it may be) by lying just to spread positivity!

Well spending money on new eye candy, when supposedly a redesign is immanent? Why waste the time??

I think they maybe wanna get the big updates out of the way, and then just update the lights when the time comes.

 

[EndlessPlaid]

Ok @uthatcher, we can talk in ~25 mins if you want!

It’s not that I don’t want, I just might not make it that far!

Yeah if I'm available earlier I'll be here.

Hahaha it can wait till tomorrow if you don't have the stamina lol! Final details for the Hummer came out yesterday.

Oh yeah, I did see some of that. Notably the size of the battery and the weight of the monster! The battery alone is 3000 lbs! And that it’s nearly as inefficient as an original H1…ridiculous really. Like GM’s super bowl add, pretty ridiculous.

Yup lol! Cool to see final details on it.
Looks to be a 219.158kWh gross capacity;
and 1325kg pack weight times 158Wh/kg (and then divided by 1000) yields 209.35kWh of usable energy.
And 9,063 pounds is the final curb weight lol. Now, one interesting thing is that the truck was tested at 10,000 pounds, showing that they tested it with a 937 pound payload. So real world range could be close to or better then that 329 official number.

I mean that’s all well and good. But it’s ridiculous. It really shows what GM actually thinks of EV‘s. Not sustainability, but tacky and over the top.

Yeah, we'll have to see what they do with the next cars. Maybe not the best decision, but at the same time, starting with a low volume high-priced truck is a good way to relegate demand until fully scaled.
