My dealer just had three delivered, I assume that is a sign of increased production (how increased, no clue). I stopped by to see them, two had already been delivered to the customer. Impressive vehicle - it certainly has, in spades, the "presence" I expected from its size. When I win the lotto, I'll be buying one of these!
Biden likes this - it forces people out of their ICE vehicles.... oh, oops.
Yeah right. Lower them only to raise them ha ha ha
He was so giddy to talk about it to admiring reporters he fell trying to get off his bike trying to get to them.
But that isn't what you said in your quoted post. You also talk about Americans barely getting by so this is the exact kind of car those Americans would be looking for.
How does rising EV prices force people out of their ICE vehicles?
Zing!
Really?
Or Wuling Hongguang Mini EV. This city car is the most successful plug-in vehicle in General Motors history.Maybe we'll have to import Ladas from now on....
We'll find out soon because a $50K average new car price is unsustainable.
Only the "First Handful" will pay Sticker for the Hummer EV also, then they will be severely Reduced. Chase a Market that isn't there, Over Inflate the Price, then toss the whole line aside because it didn't work. Kind of Hummer's Motto isn't it?

Um-m-m-m-m, no. It is not. Hummer experienced sales growth every year from 2003 until the brand was killed in 2009. Hummer did not die for lack of sales. Hummer was probably the most politically incorrect mainstream brand ever sold in the US. Parent GM was bankrupt. The vehicle was a conspicuous fossil fuel consumer at a time when the World was suffering under the Global Financial Crisis. The pump price of gasoline was higher in constant dollars than it is as of this writing--late June 2022. The general consensus was the GM had too many brands. Another general consensus was that GM would not receive the Federal bailout that it needed if it retained Hummer as one of its brands.
Believe what you must. I recall, calling every Hummer Dealer in Canada in 2003 asking for a Hummer H2 for a Customer. I only found 1 that would sell @ MSRP, every other Dealer was $10-15K over MSRP.

Sadly, the same pattern that GM enthusiasts have seen too often:
I do not deny anyone's lived experiences. That said, Canada is a market about the same size as a large US state. The US market more than made up for the Hummer's more tepid greeting in the Great White North.Believe what you must. I recall, calling every Hummer Dealer in Canada in 2003 asking for a Hummer H2 for a Customer. I only found 1 that would sell @ MSRP, every other Dealer was $10-15K over MSRP.

See a Pattern?
Just don't go tangling with an 18 wheeler or Suburban/full size crew cab pickup. 🤪Or Wuling Hongguang Mini EV. This city car is the most successful plug-in vehicle in General Motors history.
In the China domestic market, it retails for under $6,000 (USD) - less than the price increase GM announced for Hummer EV in the U.S. market!
