    Support Clean Vehicle Tax Credit

    The difference is that JFK mandated/facilitated industry to "...go to the Moon and do all the other things", not private citizens. I wasn't forced to drink Tang or eat dehydrated food in grade school to facilitate the space race. I'm all for the gummn't to mandate/facilitate industry, though.

    Support Clean Vehicle Tax Credit

    I’d rather see the federal government use all those $7500s toward charging infrastructure improvements and battery technology research. A one-time tax credit isn’t going to convince Joe Sixpack that EVs are a viable alternative to ICE. In fact, the only thing that SHOULD convince Joe Sixpack is...

    Apple CarPlay + Android Auto for Scout Nav / infotainment says Scout rep

    The derision of people asking for CP/AA on the Rivian Forum approaches fanboi proportions. No reason that Rivian can’t offer their own infotainment system alongside of CP/AA, and let the users choose what they’d rather use. But no, anyone that asks for CP/AA is considered addled, or told to...

    Electric-only people get in here! Who's going full EV only? 🔋

    This reminds me of the early days of Toyota & Lexus hybrids that had an “Electric Mode” button that you could push, purportedly to tend the car towards using the electric motor over the ICE. In reality, once you got over about 5 MPH, or encountered more than a 0.005% upgrade, the ICE would kick...

    📊 1,000+ Scout reservations on tracking list! Stats on take rates & options preferences

    Well that’s what I meant. One would hope that there are way more than “1100+” reservations by now & that Scout would be quoting a ROM-ish number by now….

    📊 1,000+ Scout reservations on tracking list! Stats on take rates & options preferences

    I’m surprised that Scout itself isn’t touting the number of reservations by now.

    Sometimes I think we’ll see the first Scouts before the 718 EV. :(

    Apple Carplay / Android Auto for Scout Motors Traveler & Terra?

    No CarPlay. No cruise control resume. But we get “Halloween costumes”. :rolleyes:

    Electric-only people get in here! Who's going full EV only? 🔋

    I’d just buy a Tundra if I wanted an ICE.

    Scout Dealers

    I don’t think International has anything to do with Scout Motors. In fact, if you look at the disclaimers in Scout’s emails and other advertising, they explicitly disavow any service/manufacturing affinity to previous generations of International Harvester vehicles. My guess is that Scout’s...
