GMC Finally Equips EV Hummer SUVs & Trucks With 3X Trim Option
The latest Hummer EV 3X pickup has a range of 355 miles on a single charge.
After GMC successfully launched the Hummer EV Pickup, the company announced new electric trucks and SUVs with multiple customization configurations, including a 3X trim package.
The 3X line of vehicles was initially intended to launch during the fall of 2022, but consumers have had to wait until mid-2023 for a Hummer EV Pickup to arrive with 22-inch wheels and 35-inch all-terrain tires. Meanwhile, the Hummer EV SUV will only become available in 3X trim for the 2024 model.
When released, GMC’s Hummer SUV and pickup will be available in two trims, Edition 1 and 3X.
For the pickup version, the 3X trim version can be equipped with an optional extreme off-road package. Meanwhile, the SUV sees both 3X and Edition 1 vehicles come with the option for an off-road package.
In addition to increased customization, GMC has announced that the new vehicles can travel 355 miles on a single charge. However, this figure will decrease if a customer has specced their vehicle with mud tires, skid plates, and other weighty accessories.

GMC is still keeping quiet about some of the new vehicle specs. Still, we do know that they will feature the same three-motor layout as previous generations, with outputs of a frankly insane 1,000 horsepower and a gargantuan towing capacity of 7,500 to 8,500 pounds.
Despite a rather hefty starting price tag of $80,000, consumer interest is building for GMC’s new electric trucks. Preorders went live in September 2022, with reservations quickly hitting 65,000. Although waiting lists are at full capacity, GMC has more electric vehicles in the pipeline, including the Sierra Denali truck and Chevy Silverado.

Google Releases Veo 2 AI Video Tool To MENA Users
The state-of-the-art video generation model is now available in Gemini, offering realistic AI-generated videos with better physics, motion, and detail.
Starting today, users of Gemini Advanced in the MENA region — and globally — can tap into Veo 2, Google’s next-generation video model.
Originally unveiled in 2024, Veo 2 has now been fully integrated into Gemini, supporting multiple languages including Arabic and English. The rollout now brings Google’s most advanced video AI directly into the hands of everyday users.
Veo 2 builds on the foundations of its predecessor with a more sophisticated understanding of the physical world. It’s designed to produce high-fidelity video content with cinematic detail, realistic motion, and greater visual consistency across a wide range of subjects and styles. Whether recreating natural landscapes, human interactions, or stylized environments, the model is capable of interpreting and translating written prompts into eight-second 720p videos that feel almost handcrafted.
Users can generate content directly through the Gemini platform — either via the web or mobile apps. The experience is pretty straightforward: users enter a text-based prompt, and Veo 2 returns a video in 16:9 landscape format, delivered as an MP4 file. These aren’t just generic clips — they can reflect creative, abstract, or highly specific scenarios, making the tool especially useful for content creators, marketers, or anyone experimenting with visual storytelling.

To ensure transparency, each video is embedded with SynthID — a digital watermark developed by Google’s DeepMind. The watermark is invisible to the human eye but persists across editing, compression, and sharing. It identifies the video as AI-generated, addressing concerns around misinformation and media authenticity.
While Veo 2 is still in its early phases of public rollout, the technology is part of a broader push by Google to democratize advanced AI tools. With text-to-image, code generation, and now video creation integrated into Gemini, Google is positioning the platform as a full-spectrum creative assistant.
Access to Veo 2 starts today and will continue expanding in the coming weeks. Interested users can try it out at gemini.google.com or through the Gemini app on Android and iOS.
