I hear you. I have been through a similar situation before when I put my pre-order in on my Model 3 back in the day. When there is this much lead time there will be lulls in new info, etc., so it is natural for enthusiasm to wane some. As for the economics, in this case it is good that...
The difference in performance while in hybrid or extender mode surprised me. Given the architecture I thought there would be no difference, but I guess they have to make it where the extender can keep up with the output. Like many others, I am keeping my EREV Traveler reservation as is, but if...
I am in the same boat on the battery range, as I whined above. I know it is just semantics, but I am not sure how you can call the Harvester an 'extender' when it supplies 70% of the stated range (with present tech). It reminds me of some of the stupid memes showing a Tesla towing a gas...
Well, I have to decide if I am switching to the BEV or canceling my order. 150 miles range on battery isn't what I was wanting on the Harvester version. Ugh.
The EV tax rebate is in law and can't be canceled by executive order. The 'mandates' were put in by executive order and can be reversed by a subsequent executive order. The rebate will still likely be removed once they can go through the process in Congress to do it legally.
Texas already put in an EV registration fee of $200/year to make up for the missed fuel taxes. I wish they did something mileage based because as it stands, we are paying more than the average ICE owner.
For what it is worth, from my initial understanding and discussions with Scout Support, I am pretty sure that battery will supply 350 miles of range (approx.) and the Harvester will extend it by (approx) 150 miles.
