The GMC Hummer EV Pickup is a very capable off-roader – assuming, of course, the pilot behind the wheel knows what they’re doing. Unfortunately, the new owner of this particular GMC Hummer EV Pickup seems a bit clueless, promptly destroying his all-electric supertruck mere minutes after exiting the dealer lot.
Coming to us from YouTuber Mondi, the video kicks things off with the owner taking delivery of his new GMC Hummer EV. Mondi goes over rig’s various features in the showroom, including the options he selected. This particular example is the range-topping Edition 1, draped in Interstellar White paint paired with a Lunar Horizon white leather interior with bronze detailing. A set of 18-inch two-tone aluminum wheels wrapped in 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires are mounted in the corners. As for the options, Mondi elected for the power retractable tonneau cover (RPO code 5KM), the A-Pillar Off-Road Lights (RPO code RZU), and the MultiPro Tailgate Audio System by Kicker (RPO code SAX).
After getting his new GMC Hummer EV from the dealer, Mondi grabs a few friends to take it out for a test drive, deciding to go “off-roading.” However, prior to hitting the dirt, Mondi decides to test Watts To Freedom mode.
For those readers who may be unaware, Watts To Freedom mode is essentially launch control for the supertruck, enabling onboard systems to unleash the vehicle’s full performance potential. And what potential it is – motivation in the Edition 1 is sourced from a GM Ultium 212-kWh lithium-ion battery and GM Ultium tri-motor system, the combination of which lays down roughly 1,000 horsepower, enough to send the 9,000-pound Hummer EV from a standstill to 60 mph in about 3 seconds.
That’s quick, and to make it all possible, Watts To Freedom mode alters the pedal map, ABS, traction control, electronic stability control, steering, four-wheel drive system, and, critically, the suspension, lowering the ride height by 2 inches.
Unfortunately, Mondi elects to go “off-roading” with the suspension in its lowered position, rather than raising it using one of the other drive modes (such as Extract Mode, which elevates the ride height by 6 inches).
You can probably guess where this is going.

I mean, let’s be honest. We all want to play at that level.
Stupid is as stupid does. Just another know it all with more money than brains 🧠
More importantly, who would actually go out and admit it with video to match? Is there no shame anymore?
This is the generation of kids parents are raising today. How unfortunate.
NO, not all and especially not me. I really enjoy playing with my ICE C8….. 😁
Way to go GM, keep giving these to YouTube idiots to destroy when the rest of us wait that actually need and will respect the vehicle ! BTW … your Chicken Sucks Mondi
Proof that money doesn’t buy commonsense. So many bad decisions made in such a short amount of time!
Just watched this moron’s video and I’m glad he totaled it. I have zero compassion for this guy. No clue what he is doing and only able to afford stuff like this because he’s a Youtuber/TicTok/Twitter person with morons following him.
Thanks to this guy, our insurance rates will mostly likely go up yet again.
Just a total a hole.
At least he did not hurt someone. Too often these types take themselves and other out with them.
GMA, why contribute to this person’s money making agenda. I and probably most people here never heard of this person and how he makes his money until now. Now that I know what he does, it baffles me that he has over 100k followers.
I would have laughed if he did this to the Eurotrash vehicles that he worships in the beginning of the vid.
What an idiot!
What an idiot!!!
Once again proving that there is no cure for stupid
Easy come , easy go ! It’ll just suck when the easy come part runs out.
Proof that common sense is a thing of the past.
The internet in and of itself does not make one stupid , however it does document ones stupidity !!
As a car guy, I want to throw up. This guy is disgusting and dealers should stop selling cars to him, especially ones that people have paid deposits on and are on waiting lists for. It’s sick.
GMA that was very poor judgement on your part to promote this loose, @sshole that has no respect for anything except making jack@ss videos for loosers like himself to watch. I sincerely hope you don’t continue to promote this type of behavior.
As a Gay man, the only reason I wanted to watch is because he’s good looking. To bad I barely made it past the beginning because listening to him talk got on every last nerve of mine. Made it to the opening of the tailgate and couldn’t stomach the rest. There’s a reason I don’t frequent this site that often anymore and giving this guy the time of day on here is one of them. Who gives AF. 🙄🥱😒
Money can buy a lot of things, unfortunately Brains is NOT on that Menu. 🧠🤯
Too much money, a little short on brains.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Who is this idiot?
Why does this site promote this crap? Follow the money.
He’s a Klown who shouldn’t be behind the wheel of any vehicle. Taking innocent unsuspecting people for a ride along very dangerous and liable to this total clueless idiot actions.
