The GMC Hummer EV Pickup Edition 1 was initially expected to last for just one model year, serving only as a limited-run launch version of the truck. However, GM Authority has now learned that production of the GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 may last into the 2023 model year.
While GM has yet to confirm how many orders for the Hummer EV Pickup Edition 1 it has, various sources indicate that number is around 1,200 units. GM has sold 371 examples of the Hummer EV in the first six months of this year, plus one single unit in Q4 2021, so it seems as though the automaker still has hundreds of Edition 1 vehicles to build before it switches to production of the other 2023 GMC Hummer EV Pickup trim levels.
GM has said it would ramp up production at the Factory Zero plant in the second half of the year, however it still seems unlikely GM will be able to produce the remaining Edition 1 models this year. The plant was also taken offline for upgrades on June 27th and won’t come back online until July 22nd.
All GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 models come identically equipped with an Interstellar White paint and a unique Lunar Horizon interior with bronze accents. All of these vehicles also come standard with a 1,000 horsepower tri-motor powertrain, as well an Extreme Off-Road Package with 18-inch wheels and 35-inch tires, Adaptive Air Suspension, the GMC MultiPro tailgate, 800-volt DC fast charging and the latest version of GM’s Super Cruise hands-free driving system.
Power in the Hummer EV Edition 1 comes from an Ultium Drive tri-motor powertrain producing 1,000 horsepower, which is fed by a ~200 kWh Ultium lithium-ion battery pack. This gives the vehicle the ability to accelerate from zero to 60 mph in about three seconds, while range sits at an EPA-certified 329 miles. Prices for the 2022 model year started at $110,295.

Sorry but you are late to this information and also incorrect on a few things.
It has been known since the beginning that there would be a 2023 Edition 1 Model. It was referenced on GM’s website with regards to the Extract Mode setting. Stating that it would become available in 2023 model year ED1 and an OTA update for early ED1 models.
Also GM has built around 600 Hummers but because of logistics issues was only able to deliver 271 in Q2 but there are 100s of Hummers currently in Holding yards in Flint.
GM will begin 2023 Model year ED1 Hummers shortly after Factory Zero reopens after the updates.
Late? I haven’t seen anyone else report on this.
I do know that Edition 1 was only supposed to have been 2022 model year only it’s news to me that a 2023 Edition 1 would exist.
Maybe not reported here but its been all over the Hummer Forums for months.
If you pay attention to what GM has been saying it has been quietly out in the open for a long time.
You’re in la la land.
First, this not been reported anywhere except for here on GMA. As someone who has been waiting for my Edition 1 reservation for a while, this is important info that should be reported clearly, directly and widely… instead of me relying on the things you’re suggesting, like signals in the sky and hints from GM that they have supposedly been giving.
Second, a post on a forum is not a report. It’s a message by an unidentified and unconfirmed source. Having worked my whole life in the news business (retired in 2021), I would encourage you to understand what it means to “do news” the right way before talking about something you’re clearly not qualified to talk about.
It seems you’re focused on somehow smearing this website instead of focusing on the matter at hand. Not sure the reason either, since gmauthority does a great job. Either way, don’t let your seemingly hateful inclination get in the way of reality.
