Highest suspension setting.
Rivian: Hello friend.
Hummer: I not friend, I hummer. I big and dumb. You small.
Honestly the hummer looks so unsophisticated and 1990s.

I think the Hummer looks unique and awesome. But to each their own. Love that the roof comes off. It is a bummer how inefficient it is. Though I also wish the Rivian was more efficient.

I wouldn't buy one for practical purposes, but I liked the Hummer EV (and the removable top). Definitely bigger than I imagined.
It was cool to see three EV trucks in the same parking lot (just by chance). These Halo trucks are what grabs people's attention and change their minds/views so they become more accepting and seek out EVs like the Lighting.

I currently have both the Hummer EV and the R1T and I'm agonizing over which one to keep. They're both awesome in entirely different ways. I'll admit that I didn't expect to like the Hummer as much as I do, but if they had the same resale price I would probably choose the Hummer over the Rivian. We'll see what happens over the next few weeks until I have a title in hand and have the option to sell one or the other.
In terms of size, the Hummer is almost exactly the same height and length as the Rivian. The real difference is in the width which is fully 8" wider. That combined with the much wider tires makes for a very different presence from one to the other.

Did your Hummer get the Extract Mode update yet? It's supposedly available but I haven't heard of anyone actually getting it yet.

Nope, not yet. Still haven’t been able to get a straight answer about whether my truck has the updated ride height sensors installed, but I haven’t tried all that hard to find out yet.

- This one, that one and the other one.
Had to laugh. See the Rivian is raised to its maximum suspension height in the second set of photos. Looks like the short guy standing on his tippy-toes to not look short compared to his taller girlfriend!! 
That Hummer is a beast. I actually really like it. But, just too big for my every day driving needs. If it was a second vehicle, absolutely would have considered it more seriously. But, chose the Rivian for its better practicality in daily driving as I do use it daily for work.

I like the Hummer, in person its awesome looking and a great large size. The range people are seeing is >350 even approaching 400 in many cases for mixed driving. Yes, inefficient, but for its size/capabilities not that horrid.
Like it enough that I'm taking my Hummer Edition SUT order now, and changed my R1T order to an R1S for now... which at this rate, may get my Hummer R1S 3X order in before it still.
GM did a great job on the Hummer, incredibly functional inside (although maybe not as premium) but still nice. Ordered the console safe, love that its a convertible at times, and the eTrunk is still big isn't the tub style of the Rivian. The rear-wheel steering is awesome, can turn loops within a Rivian's turn radius.
GM has solid tech that works as well; the Google Auto OS, with Google Maps, App store for some add-on apps, Supercruise+ works very well, Carplay/Android Auto, those crazy cameras, etc. It's more ofd a super-truck for sure, and the Rivian a nice EV truck.
