In the development of many cars, pre-production prototypes are often equipped with one or another decoy options that engineers plan to install on production models.

However, in the case of the Hummer EV, things are different. GMC has already launched the first electronic pickup truck on the market. A four-ton car, capable of accelerating to “hundreds” in just three seconds, received one function, the purpose of which was proposed to be chosen independently.

There is a puck on the center electric console of the Hummer that allows you to select the driving mode. On the right side of it is an icon that vaguely resembles the letter “H” with three small symbols that form a kind of triangle. It turned out that this button does not have any functionality. When you click on it on the multimedia screen appears the inscription: Your mode. your mission.”

Employees of the American concern said that they did not come up with a purpose for this button, so they decided to ask Hummer EV owners what option they would like to get.

When experts select the appropriate option, GMC activates the button with an over-the-air update. Thus, the automaker decided to give customers a voice in the development process and demonstrate the capabilities of wireless technology.

In mid-February, some technical details of the electric Hummer EV became known. It turned out that only one electric pickup battery weighs more than the average sedan.
