This could be a step on the evolutionary path to an electric tank. The people who buy Hummers would probably buy surplus Sherman Tanks if they could afford them. > **[Buying a Sherman tank?

The Pricing isn’t that bad since it’s right around the same as the truck and not much more than GM charges for a Tahoe,Yukon, or Escalade these days. Kind of an interesting brand to bring back as an EV. ---

The pick up looks completely useless as a pick up. Should be very popular. ---

I think it’s a great idea. When we discussed this before, I called it a halo vehicle, and I haven’t changed my mind. If I had a hundred grand burning a hole in my pocket, this would be on my list after buying buying a couple-a-three sports cars I’d want first. That’s a way of saying that this HUMMER is a vehicle for the well to do, and might help make EVs more acceptable among those that like pickup trucks and big SUVs. Great marketing, and a sufficiently small market that GM won’t anger too many people before they get it right.
