Looks like a LOT! of solar going in, good to see.

Where are you seeing solar?

Both the finished roof area and the solar farm in the rendering in the last photo.

Nice to see photos of the actual facility making progress. Makes our reservations seem that much more real.

I don’t see solar anywhere. The renderings show a couple parking lots. I think what you’re seeing on the roof is just the preliminary paneling.

Well, if not then they would remiss in not using all of that flat rooftop to offset what is going to be a huge electric bill.

Has anyone seen the goal for substantial completion on the Factory? late 2025?

The plant open date is set for 2027, so substantial completion would probably be very late 2026 - 2027 sometime.

Does that mean we will be buying 2028 models?

Depends on when deliveries start in 2027. US manufacturers usually switch their model years to the next calendar year sometime in the summer or shortly after. So if Scout production starts in the latter parts of 2027, then the first Scouts delivered will likely be called a 2028 model year.

I like the ring of 2027 Scout vs. 2028 Scout though So hoping for production & deliveries starting in early 2027!

I have a dad in construction he looked at all the pictures from the beginning of it to now. He believes it will be done by mid 2026.
