# Here’s Your First Look at the Upcoming GMC Hummer Electric Truck

GMC released a new video teasing its [upcoming, 1,000-horsepower Hummer EV](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/32023/hummer-is-back-as-an-electric-truck-with-1000-hp-and-11000-lb-ft-of-torque>) and, thankfully, it grants us our clearest look yet at the much-hyped, all-electric truck. Narrated by three-time NBA champion LeBron James, the minute-long clip not only gives us a glimpse of the Hummer's development—including shots of a scaled-down clay model, a life-size dev mule, and what looks like the Hummer's huge, flat battery being carted around by lab coat-wearing GM peeps—but also confirms a handful of features that have all seemingly been given very Tesla-esque, social media-friendly names.

Open-air Infinity Roof. Adrenaline Mode. Crab Mode. Ultium battery. Ultra-Vision cameras. If you told us these were the abilities of the Hummer's on-screen *Transformers* counterpart, we'd believe you. The end of the video also appears to confirm the existence of a three-box pickup variant, just like Hummer's of old had.

Other Hummer details we already knew about or kinda expected include that 1,000 hp figure, torque figure, a zero to 60 time of three seconds, "super fast" charging, next-gen [Super Cruise semi-autonomy](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/31987/updated-cadillac-super-cruise-with-lane-change-coming-to-new-escalade>), and [pop-out](<https://www.thedrive.com/tech/33587/the-new-hummer-pickup-ev-will-have-pop-out-roof-panels>) "modular sky panels."

After [postponing the Hummer's launch](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/33226/the-1000-hp-hummer-ev-pickup-debut-has-been-postponed>) due to COVID-19 (we were supposed to see all of it in May), GMC will now reveal in-full and open the order books for the truck sometime this fall before starting production *next* fall. Provided they all actually pan out, the all-electric GMC Hummer—or, as General Motors calls it, "the world's first supertruck"—will compete with [Tesla's controversially-styled Cybertruck](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/33084/the-production-tesla-cybertruck-will-be-different-than-the-prototype-may-float>) and the Ford-backed [Rivian R1T](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/32928/rivian-r1t-electric-pickup-launch-pushed-to-2021-over-you-guessed-it-coronavirus>).
