As part of its media push today, the carmaker has released a video showing off the upcoming vehicle's "Crab Mode," a feature that allows it to move in any diagonal direction by turning all four wheels. https://twitter.com/GMC/status/1305549075031482368 The feature will allow the vehicle to navigate the tightest of spaces in spite of its substantial bulk. It's "functionality that is tailor-made for off-roading customers," according to a [press release]() — and will allow drivers to spare the lives of crabs as well, according to the video. ## An H2 The massive electric car was [first teased]() in late January. The initial plan was to unveil it in May, but dates had to be pushed back due to the ongoing pandemic. According to GM, the truck will go from 0 to 60 mph in just three seconds thanks to an up to 1,000 horsepower drivetrain generating up to 11,500 pound feet of torque. The car will also feature Super Cruise, General Motors' next generation advanced driver assistance system. ## Market Glut Production will start in late 2021, with the first Hummers rolling off the lot not long after that — though GM has yet to announce any specific dates. Interestingly, GMC's take on the all-electric SUV will come out right around the time that Tesla is shipping the first of its [Cybertrucks](), as [*The Verge* points out](). Tesla competitor Rivian will also start shipping its own electric pickup and SUV around the same time. **READ MORE:** [Hummer EV pickup truck will be revealed October 20th]() \[*The Verge*\] **More on the Hummer EV:** *[General Motors Announces High-Performance, All-Electric Hummer]()* ## Author I've been at Futurism since 2017, where my role has evolved to encompass design, writing, and increasingly editing. I've always been fascinated by space exploration and advanced transportation, which I've leaned into by interviewing luminaries in those fields while closely following the dimensions of policy and regulation that allow next-generation projects to succeed -- or, sometimes, to fail. I'm also keenly interested in the effects of generative AI on society, policies, and democratic institutions, as well as clean energy, physics and biology, and the vagaries of tech leadership. My work for Futurism has been cited by publications including Ars Technica, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Jalopnik, Fox News, and the New York Post. I spent my childhood living in locations including Manila, the Philippines, and Geneva, Switzerland, attended McGill University, and now live in Toronto, Canada. Before Futurism I worked at AskMen and a small photography studio. In my free time, I'm an avid gardener, foodie, and craft beer lover, as well as a maker of artisanal hot pepper sauces. I have a magnificent dog named Freida. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
