I have had a 2024 2X SUT with Extreme Off-road Package for 9 months and 6,500 miles. It has been trouble-free. I started driving electric in 2018 after my Buick GN was totaled due to an uninsured teen driver. My first EV was a Chevrolet Spark (trouble-free), then a Chevrolet Bolt (trouble-free), then a used '12 MSP85 (had electrical issues but overall good car), Hyundai Ioniq 6 (worst car I ever owned, worst dealer and manufacturer I have ever dealt with), Nissan Leaf (great car but batteries are horrible), '24 M3 (trouble-free). The technology lacks compared to Tesla, but I dumped Tesla due to personal reasons and will never go back as long as Musk is involved with the company.
The Hummer EV is by far the most fun to drive. You can lower all windows, including the rear on the SUT, take off all the roof panels and enjoy the drive. Raise and lower the height on demand or enable WTF mode if you want an acceleration blast. One feature I truly love is the 4-wheel steering, I can make a U-turn on my residential street where my GF's Kia EV6 can't even come close. Range is pretty spot on at around 300 miles. SOC doesn't drop at all while sitting, compared to Tesla at 3%-6% drop daily. Charging at a 350kW DCFC is very quick, usually requiring 15-20 minutes when traveling long distance. Super Cruise works great and is truly hands-free. The 2X utilizes actual locking differentials where the 3X utilizes a virtual system for the rear. I'm sure I am missing something here, but the Hummer EV SUT is really fun to drive. Did I mention color is Afterburner Tintcoat (fairly bright orange)?

Here are some photos. I used a piece of a wooden wedge about an 1/8 inch thick at most secured with double sided tape. Confirmed it works great opens on first attempt every time. I will probably do something a little more professional later.

I found a hitch mount bike rack that works well for me. It’s significantly less expensive than the Thule rack I have seen listed for the SUV. It is the BELL RIGHTUP 270 and cost $300 at Target. The bike on the side closest to the spare tire mounted on the tailgate needs to be a narrow frame bike and you’ll need to position the crank on the bike so it is below the spare. My hybrid bike fits fine. A larger frame bike like a mountain bike will fit better on the side away from the spare.

Good afternoon everyone, my name is Alex, and I recently sold my Tesla model Y Performance, and I’m contemplating on getting a hummer EV 2024 2X with 5000 miles. The price is 70k plus taxes, which I think is a good price based on all the search I did. My question to you since you guys own a hummer EV for a while, is what are the things that I should know before I buy this car. If you asked me the same about the Tesla model Y, I will tell you that is a terrific car very reliable, but the mileage that they tell you the car will do with a full battery, it’s a lie, they paint quality on the car is garbage, and the insurance is extremely expensive compared with other EV cars. What I’m trying to get from you is what you like and what you don’t like so I can make my decision if this hummer EV truck will be a good fit for me. I totally love the look of hummers and I definitely need an electric one. That is the reason I’m considering this car as an option. Any advisor suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Happy new year to all of you my friends!

I also transferred form a Tesla (2 Model S in a row over the last 7 years). MAN this thing is fun. I have had no real issues, it is not perfect, neither is the Tesla or other arts we own. REALLY big battery, so the range is about equal to my P100D. No regrets, Bought mine used from the dealer with 3k miles on it. Functionally it is a great ca, although much wider that a Model Y, but the fun factor is much higher. I know that sounds funny knowing how fast the Teslas are - but it is WAY more fun for me.
Some folks have some issues (as found on any forum for any car), but overall I have no regrets. Oh, since the battery is 2x as large as the Tesla, it takes 2x as long to charge…. Good luck with your decision, enjoy the process and let us know what you decide!

There is under rear seat storage, if you bought your hummer, you may have also earned enough points to pay with the points - essentially free or really close to it. You can order in the MyGMC App
Here is a link to the website. Under seat Storage and i-bar storage

Im like you...have zero need to take out I bar...I just need the try to keep golf balls from rolling around everywhere.
