It's pretty crazy to watch that thing push those 10k lbs up some of these hills or keep the grip during a descent on some flat rocks. Obviously not a vehicle of choice for some crazy long offroading through Australian continent, but looks like a lot of fun to take it for an afternoon trip on some outbacks. For that I actually like the fact that this isn't a gas guzzler. I don't know how to put it in words but feels more suitable for a trip out to the nature, I guess? What has it come to that when I can choose between this and an SL65, I pick your offroad video to watch first. 😂Always tons of fun and I love that you make these videos as long as they are.

At least this Hummer have proper shifter, unlike most new car right now, which have button shifter or dial shifter (really?). The lever shifter is always feel better!

I agree. its always those moments when you do a quick 3 point turn in some traffic that you long for a normal shifter in a funky car.

@@TedwardDrives Imagine doing a J-turn in button shifter or dial shifter... . The fact that you can make quick manuver with normal shifter is indisputable.

My Call of Duty DMZ brain kicked in and told me that this car handles nice. lol. Ngl this is by far the only aesthetically pleasing EV for me, as a 90s jdm lover. I really like how they designed the exterior, I think they nailed it! If I have a chance, this is the only off road EV that I will want experience in real life, at least for now.

11:20 Ted I would argue that this Hummer EV is MORE efficient off roading than it is cruising on public roads. Electric cars lose efficiency as you increase speed, ask any Tesla owner, you lose significantly more range going from 65 to 75mph than you would from 55 to 65 mph, for example. It's not a linear scale. When you're crawling below 20mph, it can't be that bad.
