I actually was gonna give the electric Silverado a shot but the wife being 90 years old actually 91 now had a hard time getting up into it lol and the Hummer dealer is right next to the BMW and I sat in the electric hummer and that is like being in your living room room that’s cool vehicle
I've got a fair bit of experience in the GMC Denali EV, definitely nice, haven't tried the Hummer. I've had a couple days in a Lightning as well, I like that it's more truck like than GM's old Avalanche style. I also prefer Bluecruise to Supercruise.

I’ve never had the chance to drive the lightning, but when I had my Mustang in for service, they gave me a F150 power boost for a couple of weeks and I’m gonna tell you when I first got in it. I’ve never driven one before, and I look at the gas gauge cause I know it’s got a 26 gallon tank but it said 750 miles to empty and I’m like how is that possible and I cannot believe I had that thing for like two weeks driving it like 30 miles a day and I barely used a half a tank for two weeks

I’m not a fan of this color or the wheels. They definitely have better looking wheels that I’m looking at and I’m going with the metallic Brooklyn gray. I’ve seen that in person changes in the light. It looks really nice.

That thing is ass... looks like a Kia afterbirth.... 🤮 BMW has lost their way in the styling department.

Well, that’s your opinion. I used to say thing about the Mustang and then I turned around and bought one and then it grew on me so that’s fine. It’s like being in the mall walking around looking at couples and I’m like wow.

It's an suv. There's precious little to style when you're dealing with a shoebox and 4 wheels. Is it as sleek as a mme? Nope. Would I consider one if I were in the market for a new EV? Meh, probably not. For 2 reasons: The front end of the car has a case of ugly shared with the rest of BMW, and, most importantly to me, it has no frunk.

Would I rule it out? No. Besides, some folks like it. Good on them.

I guess if I was looking for EV haters I’m in the right spot so I guess I’m gonna be probably bowing out of this thread and just say I’m sorry I lost some good friends in this forum because I would never criticize anybody’s vehicle. I’ve got a 40 Ford looks like a marble. It’s a hot rod a 27 open wheel. Ford looks like a hot wheels. I guess that’s ugly too 2 65nova‘s. Not the best looking vehicles, but our family drives them. You guys enjoy your round face Mustang like I used to have.

I still don't like to call mine a "Mustang" - I refer to it as a "Mach-e" because, some of the criticism seemed to me well founded... The new eBimmers may lack some of the visual "Raffinesse" of their predecessors, but the Ford designer who is without sin should cast the first stone ;-)

No frunk is nearly a guaranteed no sale. I use mine multiple times every week. It's as simple as that.

My wife calls it the mustang. I call the mme 'the car', because other than it we have two pickup trucks and a Jeep Wrangler rock crawler.
