At least the wipers work so you can see perfectly that you're not going anywhere

Well, at least we know for sure that GM is keeping the same quality into their EV line šŸ˜‚.

The reason they don't let you put it in gear is because they know you would be so angry with GM, you'd drive it through the dealership front showroom window.

Iā€™ll keep that in mind if there is a war. We can use the new Hummer EV as a 9000lb roadblock.

Iā€™m sure GM will be glad to see this honest assessment of the situation. The truck was in ā€œbrick modeā€ in the middle of traffic, wow. How about a ā€œlimp out of dangerā€ mode GM?

Longmont, CO former resident here. I can vouch that itā€™s a perfectly good place to drive through on your way to somewhere else. Completely adequate.

I have a friend that just bought one of these and heā€™s had nothing but problems as well. Less the 1500 Miles the same thing happened 3x. Heā€™s having Buyers remorse and returning it to the dealership.

That hood release ring under the dash is a good thing to know! No matter whether it is full electric or hybrid, it's valuable to know where the 12 volt battery (usually an AGM sealed lead acid) is, and how to get to it, when everything goes 'dead'. I've had to disconnect the 12 volt battery to reset my 2006 second generation Toyota Prius hybrid. Make sure you keep the tools necessary in the car/truck, so you can actually disconnect the battery terminal.

Dad touching every button on the planet while son is trying to perform some ritualistic ridiculous GMC reset procedure had my dying lol. I would've been like "dad! Stop touching sh!t" šŸ˜‚

The fact that Onstar was almost useless is the most damning part of this story. With a little help they could've had that Hummer back on the road in a few minutes. Instead of telling you how to open the hood they sent a tow truck.

I was one of the engineers assisting with some of the testing for the Hummer EV. At one point the lead test engineer said he needed my help to open the hood, since it turns out the hood is both power operated and software controlled.
If the auxiliary battery of your Hummer EV dies, it will prevent the hood from opening, preventing you from accessing the dead battery, basically sealing itself inside. Additionally, this battery cannot be charged nor accessed anywhere from outside the vehicle. A bit like James May's Tesla battery issue but far far worse.
There is a manual open underneath the dash, but it has to be yanked on really really hard with a wrench. I chuckled to the lead test engineer saying "doesn't this seem like it would be a huge problem?" And he replied "yeah, it isn't the first time this has happened".. but seeing this made it to production I guess they didn't care.
Don't know why absolutely every feature needs to be electric, sometimes those good old mechanical bits should just stay mechanical, even on the cars of the future.

It's insane that something like this could happen with any of the other Hummer EVs on the road. Imagine this happening on a highway, or a simple route.
