AUTO influencer Edmond Monti was excited to take his new Hummer EV camping over the weekend after picking up the vehicle at a dealer.
But things went horribly wrong after the YouTube star drove the SUV for just 19 miles.
Monti’s video begins with him driving to the dealer in his Mercedes-Benz to pay for and pick up his 2022 Hummer EV.
A 2022 Hummer EV starts at $108,700.
After arriving at the dealer, Monti shows his audience the car and says he purchased all the options he could get.
The only option this influencer didn’t add was tires installed on top of the bed, as Monti wanted that area covered.
After picking up two of his work associates in the Hummer, Monti jumps on the idea of going off-roading.
Once he has an open path, Monti primes his SUV for takeoff by activating its watts to freedom feature.
Watts to freedom by begins with a driver applying more brake pressure after the car’s body gets lowered.
Once the brakes have been applied, Monti’s digital display tells him to floor it — which he readily does.
After getting a quick jump start and beginning to speed, this influencer laughs at one of his backseat passenger’s nervousness.
Monti then takes the brand new electric Hummer off-road, spiking his passenger’s anxiety levels.
After driving the SUV for less than 60 seconds, the other rear-seat occupant yells to “watch out!” to Monti.
But the YouTube personality responded too late — leading to the Hummer crashing into a dip within the off-road section’s path.
Monti could not evade the dip because he turned around to laugh at his passenger, who was on mentioned as being on edge even before the accident.
Once the SUV hits the dip, you can feel the impact as the camera violently shakes and cuts to black.

After exiting his Hummer to evaluate the crash’s damage, the video’s cameraman films the vehicle’s front and zooms in on the model’s severe radiator damage.
Monti’s cameraman then jokes, “I don’t think they even have parts for that” since the car is so new.
Monti also notes that his Hummer’s rear left wheel is permanently crooked, and the frame is bent due to the impact.
After analyzing the Hummer’s damage, this auto influencer begins picking up stray parts that fell off the EV (electric vehicle) post-crash.
We then see a flashback of Monti saying, “I want to break the Hummer on the first day,” 1 hour before buying the car.
