The GM Hummer EV has that.[1] It can crab-walk.

That vehicle is a remarkable technical achievement. It weighs 9,000 pounds, has 1000 horsepower, costs around US$100,000, and goes from 0 to 60 MPH in 3 seconds. It handles well, using an active suspension system to hide some of the problems of moving so much mass around. The stopping distance is rather long, though. CNN calls it "a brilliant execution of a terrible idea."

I had hoped an electric vehicle future would have meant a lot less road noise but if everything is clocking in curb weights in excess of 5,000 lbs I guess it won’t be as serene as I dreamed. Sad.

Weight is a problem for EVs, but it's not as bad for car-sized vehicles.

- Chevy Malibu (IC powered): 3,456 pounds.

- Chevy Bolt: 3,589 pounds.

- Tesla Model 3: 3,550 pounds.

But for trucks:

- Ford F-150, IC-powered: 5,684 pounds

- Ford F-150 Lightning: 6,590 pounds

- Hummer H1 (IC, discontinued): 8,114 pounds.

- Hummer EV: 9,000 pounds.

So, for a car, it's maybe 150 pounds extra for an electric, but for a truck, about 900 extra pounds.
