Trying to imagine why a 3.5-4.5 second 0-60 time in a large, off-road oriented SUV would be something to be bummed about.

UAW contract with VW isn’t state specific, so the state doesn’t have anything to do with it. Scout will try to use the “different company” approach, but they will have a fight on their hands. UAW is desperate to add new members and will likely be in SC organizing before VW hires the first line...

they will have a hard time avoiding it now that Chattanooga is organized.

VW in Chatt pays around $23/hour for no experience/high school grad now, but that will be going up at least 14% since that was their initial offer to the UAW after the vote last year. Pretty safe to bet Scout will be in line with whatever VW and the UAW settle on for their contract. I’d guess...

Production is two (or more) years away. A hell of a lot can change between now and then, but the fact VW has already been discussing bringing Porsche and Audi production utilizing the VW plant in Chattanooga and the Scout plant tells me they are planning way ahead as a counter to any tariff...

Yep. I have a Jeep, have never taken them off. Most Jeep owners I know have never taken them off. I’d guess the percentage of Bronco/Jeep owners that do it more than once, for the novelty of it, are in the single digits.

Might want to check the oil cooler too. Jeep things. 😂

after a 3 year wait, what’s another 6 months. I have one EV for daily driving, don’t want a second one.

Legitimate concern considering the ID Buzz van that went on sale in Europe in 2022 (2024 here in the States) was originally shown as a concept at the NA Auto show in 2017. As a long time VW owner, they will drive you crazy waiting on new models.

With 50,000+ reservations and production ramp up time for a new plant thrown in to the equation (assuming all 50k reservations convert to sales), seems there is a good chance some current reservation holders wouldn’t see their vehicle until the 2029 model year.

Sliding vinyl top.

I’m guessing electrochromic, which is on the ID Buzz.

Just to add to that, he was the President of Audi USA prior to that. He came to Audi from Mercedes. Great track record and unlike many in leadership roles within VW, he understands the US market and consumer.

Go bigger while it’s still easy. I have a three car with each bay oversized (length and width) along with a shop area that is nearly the size of another bay and an upstairs storage area……and I wish I’d gone bigger.

I’m just baffled that people are concerned about it.

Backup camera is legally required in the US, but I would guess they will have a full compliment of cameras/sensors. Not much point sticking them on these two models they are using for the intro since they wouldn’t be functional and it’s not a final design.

Absolutely masterful job from the designers, and to make it even better, I don’t see a bit of piano black anywhere in that interior!!!

From the Scout website.

Where did you see 150 miles range? Scout is saying 350 miles EV range and 500 with the Harvester.

Currently have an ID.4 that I daily about 40 miles round trip and love it. For longer trips, I’d rather drive backroads/state highways over the Interstates though, so I’ll take my Jeep since the charging infrastructure just isn’t there. I’m going Traveler Harvester to be able to do the longer...
