Why GMC's new electric Hummer is a bigger deal than Tesla's Cybertruck

There were no broken windows, like the "bulletproof" ones at Tesla's Cybertruck event last year that promptly shattered under pressure, but the GMC Hummer EV reveal Tuesday night was one of the biggest moments for electric vehicles yet. 

Let's back up. Last year, Tesla's announced its Cybertruck, the revolutionary EV company's first electric pickup, coming by 2022.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
