Forums can represent a whole bunch of use cases. While some owners here will go off-road, many will never venture farther than the local Costco parking lot. Its n those cases, and other local maneuvering where 4WS shines. I'd love it as an option but I don't think it's likely.

Short of the Scout venture closing doors and no longer existing, you'll get the option to purchase one. It's more a matter of when,and that depends on how Scout chooses to roll out once they hit production. This EV reservation game is a several year long exercise with no guarantees, just the...

It was unlikely to be more than that. This feels like the modern engagement strategy. Rivian was early by traditional OEM standards reaching out to the community through forums and SM. Scout seems to be doing the same but going a bit farther with hosting direct forums and doing these podcast...

For those interested, Scout will be on tomorrow's episode of the Batteries Included podcast.

Steering wheel operated... I'll pass. Lift off the accelerator for regen braking, and put fine-tuning options in settings **SNOW MODE**. Depending on the implementation, I'd even take blended braking as plenty of OEMS do a good job with it these days.

This is no different than any other talking head. Just because someone sits in front of a microphone doesn't mean they are best suited to discuss every subject. In this case, it's only because of the tech. If Scout came back fully ICE they wouldn't be discussing it. In terms of the "boycott,"...

Gen 2 Rivian vehicles have the UWB hardware needed for Apple Car Key. I'd anticipate it in the Scout vehicles since we're far from production and designs aren't locked.

Depends on who you ask, where you are, and what shop you compare with the factory option. Could Scout, if they so chose to offer a factory option, wrap a car similar than an independent shop, yes. The problem is, depending on your area, many shops would do a way better job than the factory and...

Yep, it would've been better if they didn't address it at all than the pat on the head we got. I would not hold my breath waiting for that announcement.

Unless they're pricing in projected lithium prices falling or other efficiencies, I'd be surprised if the top trim isn't at least $80k. Even that is pushing it, Rivian started there and almost immediately needed to raise prices. The biggest cost is batteries which will likely come down in a...

Wouldn't mind a power-up taigate like the F150. They're going to look at ways to increase profitabilty on these vehicles, and that's an easy thing to add to a top trim.

Not sure it's been debunked but even if that's the case Lucid offers CP and I'm sure they will offer a subscription mode, if they haven't already. Having CP doesn't automatically make a paid sub model impossible. Unfortunately, this is all moot, Scout won't be able to make enough vehicles to...

It's not about the experience or paywalling features, although the latter is a nice little bonus; it's about user data. You should see how much my Rivian sends back to HQ at night. Rivian doesn't want to share that with anyone. The question is, are they free to add to the telematics in this VW...

I've seen many references but none I believe from Scout themselves confirming. I'd love it on the Terra also.

It's for software and electrical architecture expertise including intellectual property. The moment "zonal architecture" popped up in their slides it was clear they were taking more than just Rivian OS. They're going to take as much as they can to make that multibillion investment work for them...

Depends on how much they take from Rivian. G2 vehicles have an electrochromic filter that tints the glass on demand.

Copy the Rivian app, should cover the basics and then some. We already know there will be a physical key so the app only provides functionality if you choose to use it. My main concern will be phantom drain, ideally, it's less than Rivian G1 vehicles at launch.

I think it may come in slightly lighter, especially because the "range spec" won't be the one with the AT tires. A dual motor R1T Max pack gets you 340 miles at 70mph (400 EPA rating) with 149 kWh. The Max pack R1T is at least 1500k lbs lighter than the Hummer/Silverado/Sierra. If Scout did a...

Agree, I'm confident in the ordering being no fuss, that's the easy part. The hard part will be delivery. Will the QC be strong enough that I'm not opening tickets because panel gaps prevent things from closing correctly? Will my passenger door need to be adjusted 3-4 times so it can be closed...

I don't think it's a technical limitation or contractual. But it's the temptation to drink from the same "big data" cup as everyone else who refuses to use AA/CP. I wish they'd come out and say it one way or another though.
