I would argue that switching this particular vehicle to full electric is much better for the planet than other smaller cars. If the people who were planning on buying a hummer already buy one of these instead, that's awesome.

That's like saying the Tesla Semi is an even bigger waste of technology...

Any and every vehicle being converted to full electric is a positive step and better for the planet.
