This perked my interest today. The battle begins.

Interesting. It will be another suburban grocery-getter.

That is going to be a very interesting revelation. Hopefully it will find far more usage than a grocery-getter if the torque numbers are true. The (ugly) TESLA starts ~$40K - I think most are going to sell in the $50K range. I'm guessing the new GMC Hummer will come in at about $65K-$75K (base model) w/ most selling in the near $90K-$95K range.

Musk has over-promised & under-delivered on price time & time again. Don't hold your breath for a $40K truck. The Model 3 was supposed to be their car in the low $30's

This is the vehicle that will save Hamtramak Assembly. GM is investing over $2 billion to modernize the plant to build electric vehicles. The reuse of Hummer is cute, Im sure they will hum as they drive by. Much better name than Volt or Bolt.

Consider the Mach E pricing from $40-65k. I would bet this takes a bite out of their market.

You will probably be able to hear the tires rumbling down the road on that truck sooner than the Hummmmm.

As a side note, Tesla market cap is now more than GM and Ford combined

The Humvee was designed as the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) for the military. It wasn't until 92 that the H1 Hummer was available to the public. For a guess at where this electric Humvee is going all you have to do is look at the H3T.
