"The best part is no part" - Sandy Munro

No one knows but ... where there's a will, there's a way. The auto industry is changing and only the creative will survive.

I said "Up to an Hour" but ... I live near Sacramento and have two Tesla Service Centers within 30 minutes of my home. Since we have 3 Tesla's in the family, having two SC's that close is great. One of them is a 10 minute drive. That said, we have had very few opportunities to use the SC's as...

I assume this "Button" is only on the Harvester models? BEV's don't need no stinkin start/stop button.

Absolutely, I'd happily trade off maximum range for faster charging speed. That said, I'm not towing and here in California the Superchargers are plentiful. Tesla's software nav/routing is so good we have far less range anxiety. No other BEV manufacturer is even close. I hope Scout can properly...

It is all to familiar for Internet forums to have pointed discourse based purely upon supposition. The Harvester versions will provide Scout with a key differentiator from the current available models. For me, I want nothing to do with an ICE propulsion system as I will not be towing and a NACS...

I'm leaning toward Bad MFer ...

My request is that Scout Team learn from Rivian's (and others ) mistakes which are: 1. Poor positioning of the charge port for the must have Tesla Supercharging support (make all models native NACS) 2. Poor charge curve leading to much longer charge times. 3. Poorly designed and implemented...

Yeah, like a hospital operating room. ;)

The dealers can stamp their little feet and hold their breath but that won't change the inevitability of Manufacturer Direct Sales. That sales model is the only way to achieve clean technology vehicles at scale and with affordable prices.

The reasons I hate the Cybertruck and refused delivery are: 1. The stupid 100% price increase (FS) and 2. The design changes they made to make it "fit in a standard garage" by chopping off the front end making it look even more ridiculous. The Cybertruck would have been fine with a Rivian...

This is a steep hill for Scout to climb and I'm full of hopium ... It's a great concept vehicle and if they can execute the plan on time and on budget I believe it will be a winner.

Is it 2027 yet?

The BEV SUV and pickup truck markets are getting more competitive. For me it will be a bang for buck decision but I will only consider a domestically built vehicle. That's my redline ...

I'm a happy Model X owner who loves the car and has zero interest in camping. I need a 300+ mile people and bike (E variety) hawler that isn't a minivan. I drive less than 10K miles/year and I'm retired so have time, health and fortunately the resources to travel and have fun. I thought the...

Personally, I'm hoping there is continued financial support by VW with very little involvement in actual decision making. Rivian has more to offer Scout in terms of collaboration .

That reservation number is within 24 hours of the reveal and from the list here. Regardless, I feel it's a low enough reservation number that should allow me to get an early VIN.

Good points. The wife and I have a 240V Tesla wall charger in the garage that we share when needed. This charger adds 40 MPH of range. We also have two of the 120V chargers that we plug in almost every day. I've read info from Tesla that says keeping the vehicles plugged into low voltage power...

Your must be getting biased anti BEV information from your information sources. As a 5 year owner of multiple Tesla's the range is much better than 80% of projected unless you live somewhere with very cold weather and even then, 80% would be a worst case scenario. It's very similar to ICE in...

Yes and no. My wife drove Chevy Volts which use the Harvester gas generator method and as her commuter car +/- 25 miles a day she loved her Volts (she had 3 of em). Once she had not added fuel for a full year and the Volt made her drive on gas to empty the tank before she could resume electric...
