Compare the2026 GMC Hummer EV PickupVS 2026 Tesla Cybertruck

In the past twenty years hundreds of infants and young children have died after being left in vehicles, usually by accident. When turning the vehicle off, drivers of the Hummer EV Pickup are reminded to check the back seat if they opened the rear door before starting out. The Cybertruck doesn’t offer a back seat reminder.

To provide maximum traction and stability on all roads, Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive is standard on the Hummer EV Pickup. But it costs extra on the Cybertruck.

The GMC Hummer EV Pickup has Daytime Running Lights to help keep it more visible under all conditions. Canadian government studies show that driving with lights during the day reduces accidents by 11% by making vehicles more conspicuous. The Cybertruck doesn’t offer Daytime Running Lights.

The GMC Hummer EV Pickup’s Surround Vision can be optionally equipped with washers for its front and rear cameras, ensuring crystal-clear visibility in any weather condition. Conversely, the Tesla Cybertruck only offers a front camera washer, which may not provide the same level of all-weather performance.

The Hummer EV Pickup has standard OnStar®, which uses a global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver and a cellular system to get turn-by-turn driving directions, remotely unlock your doors if you lock your keys in, help track down your vehicle if it’s stolen or send emergency personnel to the scene if any airbags deploy. The Cybertruck doesn’t offer a GPS response system, only a navigation computer with no live response for emergencies, so if you’re involved in an accident and you’re incapacitated help may not come as quickly.

Both the Hummer EV Pickup and the Cybertruck have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, height adjustable front shoulder belts, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, around view monitors, rear cross-path warning and driver alert monitors.

The GMC Hummer EV Pickup weighs 2078 to 2858 pounds more than the Tesla Cybertruck. The NHTSA advises that heavier vehicles are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

There are almost 8 times as many GMC dealers as there are Tesla dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the Hummer EV Pickup’s warranty.

J.D. Power and Associates’ 2025 Initial Quality Study of new car owners surveyed provide the statistics that show that GMC vehicles are better in initial quality than Tesla vehicles. With 1 fewer problems per 100 vehicles, JD Power ranks GMC higher than Tesla.

As tested in Car and Driver the Hummer EV Pickup 3X is faster than the Cybertruck Long Range electric motor:

The Hummer EV Pickup can travel longer on a full charge than the Cybertruck on a full charge:

The Hummer EV Pickup’s optional launch control uses engine electronics to hold engine RPM’s precisely in order to provide the most stable and rapid acceleration possible, using all of the available traction. The Cybertruck doesn’t offer launch control.

For better stopping power the Hummer EV Pickup’s brake rotors are larger than those on the Cybertruck:

In an emergency stopping situation, many drivers don’t press the brakes with enough force to stop the vehicle in the shortest distance. The Hummer EV Pickup has a standard Brake Assist System to detect emergency braking situations (by how hard and how quickly the brake pedal is pressed) and then automatically apply maximum braking immediately in order to help prevent a collision. The Cybertruck doesn’t offer a brake assist feature.

For better traction, the Hummer EV Pickup has larger tires than the Cybertruck (305/70R18 vs. 285/65R20).

The Hummer EV Pickup’s tires provide better handling because they have a lower 55 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Cybertruck’s 65 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Hummer EV Pickup has standard 22-inch wheels. The Cybertruck’s largest wheels are only 20-inches.

The GMC Hummer EV Pickup’s wheels have 8 lugs for longer wheel bearing life, less chance of rotor warping and greater strength. The Tesla Cybertruck only has 6 wheel lugs per wheel.

The Hummer EV Pickup has a standard easy tire fill system. When inflating the tires, the vehicle’s integrated tire pressure sensors keep track of the pressure as the tires fill and tell the driver when the tires are inflated to the proper pressure. The Cybertruck doesn’t offer vehicle monitored tire inflation.

The front and rear suspension of the Hummer EV Pickup uses air springs for a smoother, controlled ride than the Cybertruck, which uses coil springs. Air springs maintain proper ride height and ride more smoothly.

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Hummer EV Pickup is 3.5 inches wider in the front and 3.5 inches wider in the rear than on the Cybertruck.

The Hummer EV Pickup is 6.9 inches shorter than the Cybertruck, making the Hummer EV Pickup easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

The front grille of the Hummer EV Pickup uses electronically controlled shutters to close off airflow and reduce drag when less engine cooling is needed. This helps improve highway fuel economy. The Cybertruck doesn’t offer active grille shutters.

The Hummer EV Pickup has .8 inches more front headroom, 4.5 inches more front legroom, 3.3 inches more front hip room, .6 inches more front shoulder room, 3.1 inches more rear hip room and 1.9 inches more rear shoulder room than the Cybertruck.

The Hummer EV Pickup’s cargo box is larger than the Cybertruck’s in almost every dimension:

The GMC Hummer EV Pickup has a standard EZ Lift Tailgate, which prevents the heavy tailgate from falling with a crash and causing injury. It allows adults and children to easily open and close the tailgate with one hand to better facilitate loading and unloading. The Tesla Cybertruck doesn’t offer a tailgate assist.

The GMC Hummer EV Pickup has a standard rear cargo step, which folds out and allows for much easier access to the cargo area. The Tesla Cybertruck doesn’t offer a rear cargo step.

The Hummer EV Pickup’s standard towing capacity is much higher than the Cybertruck’s (12100 vs. 7500 pounds).

The Hummer EV Pickup’s standard side window demisters help clear frost or condensation from the side windows in the winter. The Cybertruck doesn’t even offer side window demisters, so the driver may have to wipe the windows from the outside to gain side vision.

To shield the driver and front passenger’s vision over a larger portion of the windshield and side windows, the Hummer EV Pickup has standard extendable sun visors. The Cybertruck doesn’t offer extendable visors.

The Hummer EV Pickup is equipped with both FM and AM stereo radios, offering access to more content and better coverage than the Cybertruck, which solely provides FM radio. With AM radio, you can enjoy a wider variety of stations featuring news, talk shows, sports commentary, native language programing, automated traffic guidance, and emergency broadcasts. AM waves travel further and penetrate buildings and obstacles more effectively than FM signals, especially at night. Having both FM and AM stereo radios the Hummer EV Pickup offers a more comprehensive listening experience compared to only FM in the Cybertruck.

HD Radio boasts several benefits over conventional radio: superior sound quality with clearer and consistent FM broadcasts, CD-quality audio, and Multicast Channels offering up to four streams from a single station, adding programming choices. Cars like the Hummer EV Pickup equipped with available HD Radio provide an improved in-car entertainment experience. The Cybertruck, devoid of this technology, foregoes these benefits. Selecting the GMC Hummer EV Pickup empowers drivers to enjoy a more immersive and enjoyable listening experience while on the go.

Compared to the Tesla Cybertruck’s traditional radio, the GMC Hummer EV Pickup equipped with standard SiriusXM satellite radio provides an unmatched listening experience. Its extensive coverage guarantees consistent, crystal-clear reception across the continental U.S., and access to over 100 channels dedicated to a multitude of genres, including music, news, sports, talk shows, and comedy, many with only limited commercial breaks.

The Hummer EV Pickup’s Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, starting, stopping and changing direction automatically. The Cybertruck doesn’t offer an automated parking system.

J.D. Power and Associates rated the Hummer EV Pickup first among large light duty pickups in owner reported satisfaction. This includes how well the vehicle performs and satisfies its owner’s expectations. The Cybertruck isn’t in the top three.
