- The car was so fast that people requested that it be stopped
- It uses the new Ultium batteries and drive motor and can deploy 986 bhp
The GMC Hummer EV is a couple of months away but now that there are a couple of people who have experienced it -- its equivalent of "ludicrous" mode on Tesla Model S Plaid called WTF mode is so scorching that it has scared the daylights out of its occupants who requested the car to be stopped. The GMC Hummer EV is one of the biggest EVs to ever be created and can go from 0 kmph to 100 kmph in just 3 seconds which probably will make it the fastest electric pickup or SUV. The WTF mode stands for "watts to freedom" and is essentially a launch mode with some party tricks which makes it even more torrid than the "ludicrous" mode on the Tesla.
It should be noted the Hummer EV will be using the new Ultium batteries that GM has been developing and also a new Ultium drive motor which will enable its ridiculous 986 bhp capability.
GM has revived the Hummer brand as an EV first brand and will be launching the new pickup truck edition and then there will be a standard SUV as well but that will launch in 2024. Across GM, there is a commitment towards becoming an EV-only brand by 2035 and already its brands like Cadillac and Chevrolet have committed to making EVs.
The Hummer EV will go up against the Rivian R1T, the Tesla Cybertruck next year and, even the new Ford F-150 Lightning which was also driven by President Joe Biden. Apart from this WTF mode, it also gets a "crab mode" which is unique.
