Top Comments of this video!! :3
When my Chevy Bolt was getting its battery replaced due to fire hazard it took four trips to the dealer, numerous emails to GM corporate and finally the presence of the District Manager with GM Technical Assistance on the phone while they updated the vehicle’s firmware to get it properly installed. It leaves the impression that GM and its dealers have a long way to go to support software-based vehicles.

I'm sure GMs top brass and PR team were all over this. What a colossal nightmare for them on their halo truck to breakdown, which so happens to be owned by a team with a HUGE following. I get it, things happen. But a few things: There has been a looonggg wait for these for years. They're $115K(!!!). But...$115K isn't enough because many have ADMs.
Tommy's offroad experience wasn't confidence inspiring either.(although that was GMs truck) Good luck with the ownership, TFL! Keep the content coming for us poor guys!

Enjoyed this video, especially the summary of the F150 Lightning. Towing is a big issue for EV’s. There was a significant difference with the trailer attached and empty versus the trailer loaded with the ATV. It would be interesting to compare those differences with an ICE F150. I was considering the Lightning but after watching a few towing videos, realized that the reduction in range with towing is a show-stopper. If I want to pull my boat from Minneapolis into Canada, I would be concerned how to make it to the Canadian lake from International Falls with the type of road for traveling. I assume that fast charging stations could be installed but I don’t see that happening for several years. At my age, I’m not certain that I will ever be able to buy an EV that would make practical and economical sense. Minnesota requires that EV owners submit mileage driven in an EV annually so that road taxes can be assessed (to make up for loss of tax revenue at gas pumps). I think it is great technology but not really affordable for most families, especially with the high inflation that is happening right now. Also, gas prices have been artificially escalated by current gov’t policies cutting oil licenses on Federal lands and the nonsense that the world is going to end in 30 years if we don’t drastically reduce CO2 emissions by 2030 or sooner. Also, the tax credit on EV’s is a big scam on taxpayers. The gov’t is not going to cut spending so the tax credit is only going to drive higher tax rates for everyone. All that said, I enjoy watching your videos on EV technology.

I just watched your video this morning. I want to thank you for the informative video. I also want you to know it was refreshing to see and hear how you handled a dangerous situation while experience frustration with this ordeal. It was refreshing to view and hear a video without a bunch of curse words and people acting insane. Thank you for being great role models!!!

Selling three vehicles (FJ Cruiser, Silverado ZR2, and the Lightning) to get the Hummer EV is quite a trek. Though I really wish they kept the ZR2 to do a comparison. That would be a great video idea to do, TFL. Absolutely love the Hummer EV, very awesome and badass truck. Can’t wait for more. Thanks again, TFL crew.

$115,000 for a vehicle and you have to pay extra for a spare tire.
