EVs are too pricey for the privilege of being a test guinea pig. I would wait several years and at least the "next gen" of EVs before considering one.

Hummer has sold a whopping 782 over the two years (?) they've been available and likely still on the "First Edition". (Highly advertised and touted Lyriq....36 units!...lol) Not very reassuring.

Tesla has a lot of years under it's belt. Remember all the issues they had in their first few early years? Much better now. Auto-Pilot or whatever it's called still has too many issues.

To Rivians defense is was 1 loose bolt.

I still watch the channel but I know going in to a review or comparison that involves a GM product, its already handicapped by negative subjective commentary or scoring. Like some you tubers they are really in the business of getting clicks/viewers for profit and I don't blame them for that but all I want is a fair and balanced review and equal coverage. I like the Ike towing reviews and mileage loop reviews but the drag race is not one of practicality in my opinion.

I love my ICE vehicles but I'll do my part to help save this world for my kids, grandkids and their kids...sacrifice for the future.
Save them from what??? Natural temperature cycles that have been going on since the creation of the earth?

A simple battery re-set and they make a 30 min video on it.

The only thing I learned was where the hood release and battery are.

Roman caused that whole issue by doing a reset while sitting in traffic instead of turning around and going back to the dealership in a safe manner, it was only a steering rack error alarm to begin with which directed him to the dealership not a drive issue. I would never do a reset on my computer if I'm in the middle of doing work especially if its not backed up/saved.

Its hard to be a GM fan and watch the numerous tfl channels when it comes to any GM product reviews with the exception of the new guy who did the BlackWing reviews.
