I'll be getting the bucket seats. If Scout comes out with a tiny 2 door truck, something like an old S10 size, then I would definitely considers the bench seat.
The range estimate is a pretty simple calculation for the Engineers at Scout. They probably know how many Kwh’s they need for 350 miles. As long as they can fit enough batteries to provide that energy, the chemistry doesn’t matter a whole lot. The reason I want SSB’s is reduced degradation...
I hope it's not Rivian. Check out the "Out of Spec" recent road trip video, they have so many thermal throttling issues due to improper cooling.
Since these trucks are a few years out, I have my fingers cross for Factorial or Quantum Scape Solid State Batteries.
Mercedes is coming out with a Solid State powered CLA in 2025 (supposedly). If they, aka Factorial, have figured out how to mass produce SSB's then we could potentially have them in the Scout. I have a reservation down for a Traveler, but I'm waiting for a SSB's to come readily available before...
Something like this is going to happen for Scout, very doubtful for Rivian. The Joint Venture between the two is only for the zonal architecture, these are going to be different vehicles entirely. Scout is on record saying that 80% of the components on the Terra/Traveler are going to be...
I'm confused by these dimensions. Based on the numbers, the Traveler is the same size as my 2024 Toyota Sequoia, but that can't be right. I have parked next to a few Rivian R1's and they are much narrower than the 79.8" listed on the Toyota website.
