Service Drives / Creates Sales!

[Latrant]

Several friends/ Family (F/F) members are looking at EVs and EREVs for their next purchase.

I’ve shown them Rivians, Teslas and now Scouts.

their number one concern is a service center nearby (no matter how few or long wait times for appointments).

In the Greater Cleveland Area, I live 6 miles from Rivian Delivery and Service (not a show room because NADA and Ohio Legislature controlled by Republicans have blocked Rivian from test drives, or showrooms sales).

I live 14 miles from Tesla sales/service (Tesla has been here over ten years and can have test drives and a showroom/sales).

I worry that if Scout doesn’t have a local service center, my friends and Family (who love the EREV idea) won’t buy a Scout.

A few F/F have bought Tesla and one Rivian and they feel better having those service centers nearby.

thoughts?

Cheers

Have you read this about Scout Motors' plans for Service Centers?

Scout Stores / Service Centers ("Scout Studios") plans revealed: 25 will open in 2027, expanding to 100 by 2032

Hopefully there'll be a Scout Service Center & Showroom near you soon after the vehicle launches. It sounds more extensive a rollout of service centers and physical spaces than Rivian has had. It will take a while to get to the density of Tesla’s service center network but it sounds like Scout will be aggressive in expanding service centers & showrooms.

I’m hopeful there will be one nearby.

To Compete, Scout will need one. My F/F who are not as interested in EREV or EVs as I am are still aware of the Service centers. They all really dislike the dealership experience. Salesman are frequently less knowledgeable than they are about a particular vehicle and the dealership churns through personnel/salesman often.
