    Range reduction / battery life in cold winter temperatures -- what's your experience EV owners?

    Same. In central Alabama, I don't think this is a huge concern. But I also use the heated steering wheel when it gets below 60, so....

    Round steering wheel request... anyone else hate the Scout concept steering wheel?

    Ugh. Then I hope they are smart enough to have some software interlock that prevents it from actually turning off the vehicle when it is not in "park." I will 100% accidentally hit that button.

    Round steering wheel request... anyone else hate the Scout concept steering wheel?

    Just the decision to put the power button there. I'm hoping that is for the radio and not the truck itself...

    Spare tire carrier optional on Traveler? Alternative locations for mounting spare tire?

    That ticks off one major concern my wife has. The other is the weird decision to put the power button on the steering wheel. I will 100% accidentally hit it in that location.

    Range Extender can be turned off / disabled via menu setting screen

    Let me clarify my statement. I believe the generator will have a max output power needed to drive the wheels. Will it tow? No. Will it climb a mountain? No. But if you are driving at reasonable interstate speeds, I believe the RE will 100% allow for unlimited range as long as you keep it filled...

    Range Extender can be turned off / disabled via menu setting screen

    I like this breakdown but I disagree with the final paragraph. My opinion is the RE will charge the battery but it's primary purpose is to provide enough power to the vehicle to keep it moving. So, at a minimum I believe the generator will have the same max output power as the wheels. I do not...

    Pricing difference between EV+Gas (Harvester) vs. Full-EV model?

    My guess is the price will be about the same. Fewer expensive batteries offset by the extra engineering and EPA compliance needed for a gas engine. On plus side, I think it will then qualify as a PHEV for registration purposes in most states.

    Steel metal roof & roof rails - confirmed for production Scout EV

    Will there be an option to shade/tint the roof window? Deep south gets toasty in the summer and I'd be more inclined to get a solid roof.

    Cabana Top option for both Scout EV SUV and Pickup Truck?

    I need to see more details on the cabana roof. Wife was initially for it and then immediately remembered we live in an area that can get thunderstorms. How sturdy is when when driving through one? Also, how much noise will it make while driving? So, I'm more inclined to get the giant moonroof...

    Low range - is this a concern?

    My take: Off the shelf part makes for easier and cheaper repairs compared to custom solutions. I hope home garage repairs is something Scout is keeping in mind.

    Range extender starts charging battery after 100-150 miles of EV-only driving

    I feel that's a fair distance. For most people, they'll never use gas for 90% of their driving.

    Front Bench Seat closeup photos -- who's going to option it?

    15 years ago, 100%. Today, I actually prefer having bucket seats with the center console. Wife and I get enough physical contact without the need for a bench seat. 😉
