# GMC’s Electric Hummer Truck Apparently Leaks in Now-Removed Ad

Many thought General Motors canning the Hummer brand a decade ago was a mistake, and indeed with the sales of SUVs going through the roof, it seems like it was. To rectify this error, the Detroit automaker is releasing a new Hummer under the GMC brand, but this time, it's completely electric. Although it's set to debut tonight at 8 p.m. ET during game one of the World Series, GM's foray back into the Hummer brand appears to have leaked early in an advertisement online. We know all of this because of [our eagle-eyed friends at *Jalopnik*.](<https://jalopnik.com/2022-hummer-ev-supertruck-mistakenly-leaked-in-online-a-1845424020>)

The ad is admittedly low resolution and doesn't give as much detail as the official photos will, but it's still one of the best looks yet at GM's new 1,000-horsepower "supertruck."

Only scant details are visible, but we can definitely see a few things. First of all, it's definitely a pickup as [previous images released by GM indicate.](<https://www.thedrive.com/tech/35187/heres-your-first-look-at-the-upcoming-gmc-hummer-electric-truck>) It also has [the same front fascia as the teaser images.](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/32023/hummer-is-back-as-an-electric-truck-with-1000-hp-and-11000-lb-ft-of-torque>) Other non-visual features of the Hummer EV that we know about include its aforementioned power figure, and its capability to ["crab walk" by turning both sets of wheels in the same direction.](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/36378/heres-your-first-look-at-the-electric-gmc-hummers-crab-walk-mode-in-action>)

The ad makes it clear that the truck in the image is a simulated vehicle, and that the production car will likely look a bit different. As far as buying one of these trucks goes, the ad says we can expect to wait until Fall 2021. Before that time rolls around, just [tune into game one of the World Series to get a peek.](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/37155/how-to-watch-the-electric-hummers-debut-live-tonight>) You'll also be able to get more information about it here at *The Drive.*
