    But why? Isn’t the Venn diagram of people who would buy one of those and the people who would buy a cybertruck basically a circle? And I think the cybertruck is cheaper and is louder with its “I’m a huge turd” messaging. The Hummer is probably better made though…

      I hate the Cybertruck and Elon, but I actually really like the Hummer Truck. It has little nods to the first ever electric vehicle GM produced in it, the moon rover. I also find it funny to take the overly macho Hummer and make it electric. Basically I’m saying I think it has some fun character that a lot of vehicles just don’t have anymore.

        I drove an EV Hummer back in the 90s, when I was 4 years old. It was about three feet long, two feet wide, and a foot and a half tall. Maxed out at about 1mph, but it could get up to speed in under a second! Battery lasted about a quarter mile. But those were the glory days, eh? Simpler times. Morpheus was right about that, that’s for sure…

      I drive a lot for work. I see Cyber trucks pretty regularly, a few each week. I think I’ve only ever seen one of the Hummer EVs, ever.
