The height of stupidity in an all-electric-car world? We have a winner.

 
 
If you personally know anyone who buys one 
of these you have my permission to beat 
the fuckin' snot out of them...  
 
A 'climate-friendly' version of the macho, gas-guzzling pickup/small-dick-guy vehicle is aimed at over-zealous tree-hugging devotees of some kinda  supersized-car culture.
It is the weight of an elephant, can move like a crab and in a previous life was reviled by environmentalists. The Hummer, that 'avatar of gas-guzzling machismo', has returned as an electric vehicle with an unlikely billing as an ally in the effort to avert the worsening climate crisis. Gimme a motherfuckin' brake (Pun intended).
The reincarnation of the hulking pickup truck has been lauded by manufacturer General Motors (GM) as proof that electric vehicles (EVs) can now reach even middle America’s most obdurate devotees of supersized car culture.
Who the fuck who's in 'middle America' is gonna have an extra 100k laying around to piss away on this behemoth? Get a grip, GM. 
GM hopes to crush the notion that green cars must look like a Prius. “We want to turn EV skeptics into EV believers,” said Mikhael Farah, a GM spokesperson. 

This Hummer has even been endorsed as a climate boon by the White House – in November, Joe Biden screeched around GM’s Detroit plant in a Hummer EV. “This sucker is something else!” the president, a self-confessed “car guy”, exclaimed. THAT should tell you everything you need to know about this piece of shit (I'm not saying which - the car or the Prez).
